The energy budget and dissipation mechanisms during droplet impact on solid surfaces are studied numerically and theoretically. We find that for high impact velocities and negligible surface friction at the solid surface (i.e. free-slip),…
Diffusion of atoms and molecules is a key process for the chemical evolution in the star forming regions of the interstellar medium. Accurate data on the mobility of many important interstellar species is however often not available and…
In horizontally shaken granular material different types of pattern formation have been reported. We want to deal with the convection instability which has been observed in experiments and which recently has been investigated numerically.…
The dynamics of drop impact on a rigid surface -- omnipresent in nature and technology -- strongly depends on the droplet's velocity, its size, and its material properties. The main characteristics are the droplet's force exerted on the…
We present an experimental investigation of the statistical properties of spherical granular particles on an inclined plane that are excited by an oscillating side-wall. The data is obtained by high-speed imaging and particle tracking…
We study experimentally the impact on rigid surfaces of different soft porous solids saturated with liquid: hydrogel balls and liquid-saturated foam balls. The static con tact of such soft solids with the substrate is well described by…
To describe the small-scale intermittency of turbulence, a self-similarity is assumed for the probability density function of a logarithm of the rate of energy dissipation smoothed over a length scale among those in the inertial range. The…
Large scale simulations of two-dimensional bidisperse granular fluids allow us to determine spatial correlations of slow particles via the four-point structure factor $S_4(q,t)$. Both cases, elastic ($\varepsilon=1$) as well as inelastic…
Numerical simulations of a dissipative hard sphere gas reveal a dependence of the cooling rate on correlation of the particle velocities due to inelastic collisions. We propose a coefficient which characterizes the velocity correlations in…
Few rigorous results are derived for fully developed turbulence. By applying the scaling properties of the Navier-Stokes equation we have derived a relation for the energy spectrum valid for unforced or decaying isotropic turbulence. We…
We introduce the model of inelastic hard spheres with random restitution coefficient $\alpha$, in order to account for the fact that, in a vertically shaken granular system interacting elastically with the vibrating boundary, the energy…
Tidal dissipation is known as one of the main drivers of the secular evolution of planetary systems. It directly results from dissipative mechanisms that occur in planets and stars' interiors and strongly depends on the structure and…
We calculate and verify with simulations the ratio between the average translational and rotational energies of systems with rough, inelastic particles, either forced or freely cooling. The ratio shows non-equipartition of energy. In…
With the assumption of a linear-dashpot interaction force, we compute the coefficient of restitution as a function of the elastic and dissipative material constants, k and gamma by integrating Newton's equation of motion for an isolated…
Direct measurements of the acceleration of spheres and disks impacting granular media reveal simple power law scalings along with complex dynamics which bear the signatures of both fluid and solid behavior. The penetration depth scales…
Shear cell simulations and experiments of weakly wetted particles (a few volume percent liquid binders) are compared, with the goal to understand their flow rheology. Application examples are cores for metal casting by core shooting made of…
We experimentally investigate the dynamics of a sphere rolling up a granular slope. During the rolling-up motion, the sphere experiences slipping and penetration (groove formation) on the surface of the granular layer. The former relates to…
Molecular dynamics computer simulation has been used to compute the self-diffusion coefficient, and shear viscosity of soft-sphere fluids, in which the particles interact through the soft-sphere or inverse power pair potential. The…
Dissipative particle dynamics is a widely used mesoscale technique for the simulation of hydrodynamics (as well as immersed particles) utilizing coarse-grained molecular dynamics. While the method is capable of describing any fluid, the…
The linear dashpot model for the inelastic normal force between colliding spheres leads to a constant coefficient of normal restitution, $\epsilon_n=$const., which makes this model very popular for the investigation of dilute and moderately…
