We present results of a simulation study of inelastic hard-disks vibrated in a vertical container. An Event-Driven Molecular Dynamics method is developed for studying the onset of convection. Varying the relevant parameters (inelasticity,…
The dynamics of a system composed of inelastic hard spheres or disks that are confined between two parallel vertically vibrating walls is studied (the vertical direction is defined as the direction perpendicular to the walls). The distance…
We have studied the coefficient of restitution, $\eta$, in normal collisions of a non-rotating sphere on a massive plate for a range of material parameters, impact velocity and sphere size. The measured coefficient of restitution does not…
We calculate in this work the Navier-Stokes transport coefficients from the Boltzmann equation for $d$-dimensional inelastic Maxwell models. By granular gas we mean here a low density system of identical spheres that lose a fraction of…
The dynamics of sheared inelastic-hard-sphere systems are studied using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and direct simulation Monte Carlo. In the molecular dynamics simulations Lees-Edwards boundary conditions are used to…
An impact of particles' roughness on the self-diffusion coefficient in granular gases is investigated. For a simplified collision model where the normal and tangential restitution coefficients are assumed to be constant we develop an…
We investigate velocity statistics of homogeneous inelastic gases using the Boltzmann equation. Employing an approximate uniform collision rate, we obtain analytic results valid in arbitrary dimension. In the freely evolving case, the…
We consider the single-particle velocity distribution of a one-dimensional fluid of inelastic particles. Both the freely evolving (cooling) system and the non-equilibrium stationary state obtained in the presence of random forcing are…
We investigate the effect of fragmentation on the homogeneous free cooling of inelastic hard spheres, using Boltzmann kinetic theory and Direct Monte Carlo simulations. We analyze in detail a model where dissipative collisions may…
By using the Enskog-Boltzmann approach, we study the steady-state dynamics of a granular discorectangle placed in a two-dimensional bath of thermalized hard disks. Hard core collisions are assumed elastic between disks and inelastic between…
An overview of recent work on Monte Carlo simulations of a granular binary mixture is presented. The results are obtained numerically solving the Enskog equation for inelastic hard-spheres by means of an extension of the well-known direct…
We study analytically and numerically the distribution of granular temperatures in granular mixtures for different dissipation mechanisms of inelastic inter-particle collisions. Both driven and force-free systems are analyzed. We…
The hydrodynamics of granular gases of viscoelastic particles, whose collision is described by an impact-velocity dependent coefficient of restitution, is developed using a modified Chapman-Enskog approach. We derive the hydrodynamic…
We propose a model for collisions between particles of a granular material and calculate the restitution coefficients for the normal and tangential motion as functions of the impact velocity from considerations of dissipative viscoelastic…
The velocity distribution in a homogeneously cooling granular gas has been studied in the viscoelastic regime when the restitution coefficient of colliding particles depends on the impact velocity. We show that for viscoelastic particles…
Granular matter under rapid flow conditions can be modeled as a granular gas, namely, a gas of hard spheres dissipating part of their kinetic energy during binary collisions (inelastic hard spheres, IHS). On the other hand, given that…
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…
We consider the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for inelastic hard spheres (with constant restitution coefficient $\alpha \in (0,1)$) under the thermalization induced by a host medium with a fixed Maxwellian distribution. We prove…
The hydrodynamic Burnett equations and the associated transport coefficients are exactly evaluated for generalized inelastic Maxwell models. In those models, the one-particle distribution function obeys the inelastic Boltzmann equation,…
We formulate and test a hybrid fluid-Monte Carlo scheme for the treatment of elastic collisions in gases and plasmas. While our primary focus and demonstrations of applicability are for moderately collisional plasmas, as described by the…
