Kinetic approach to granular gases.
We address the problem of the so-called "granular gases," i.e., gases of massive particles in rapid movement undergoing inelastic collisions. We introduce a class of models of driven granular gases for which the stationary state is the result of the balance between the dissipation and the random forces which inject energies. These models exhibit a genuine thermodynamic limit, i.e., at fixed den...
متن کاملGaussian kinetic model for granular gases.
A kinetic model for the Boltzmann equation is proposed and explored as a practical means to investigate the properties of a dilute granular gas. It is shown that all spatially homogeneous initial distributions approach a universal "homogeneous cooling solution" after a few collisions. The homogeneous cooling solution (HCS) is studied in some detail and the exact solution is compared with known ...
متن کاملGeneralized kinetic Maxwell type models of granular gases
In this chapter we consider generalizations of kinetic granular gas models given by Boltzmann equations of Maxwell type. These type of models for nonlinear elastic or inelastic interactions, have many applications in physics, dynamics of granular gases, economy, etc. We present the problem and develop its form in the space of characteristic functions, i.e. Fourier transforms of probability meas...
متن کاملGranular Gases in Compartmentalized Systems
Although both granular gases (GG) and molecular gases (MG) are characterized by random motions of their constituents, phenomena not possible for MG, such as clustering and Maxwell’s demon are reported in GG. The origin of these intriguing phenomena is the dissipative collisions in GG which are coupled to the local density of the GG in a spatially extended or compartmentalized system. Systems wi...
متن کاملKinetic Theory of Gases
The present text is based on a set of lectures given as part of a post graduate course in fluid mechanics at the Department of Mechanics, KTH School of Engineering Sciences. The topic of kinetic gas theory was chosen as to broaden the students knowledge in the field of fluid mechanics in general. In particular the students should get a new perspective on the contiuum theory approach applied in ...
