Velocity distributions and correlations in homogeneously heated granular media.
We compare the steady state velocity distributions from our three-dimensional inelastic hard sphere molecular dynamics simulation for homogeneously heated granular media, with the predictions of a mean field-type Enskog-Boltzmann equation for inelastic hard spheres [T. P. C. van Noije and M. H. Ernst, Granular Matter 1, 57 (1998)]. Although we find qualitative agreement for all values of densit...
متن کاملVelocity Correlations in Driven Two-dimensional Granular Media 1
Simulations of volumetrically forced granular media in two dimensions produce states with nearly homogeneous density. In these states, long-range velocity correlations with a characteristic vortex structure develop; given sufficient time, the correlations fill the entire simulated area. These velocity correlations reduce the rate and violence of collisions, so that pressure is smaller for drive...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of fluidized granular media: short-range velocity correlations.
A statistical mechanical study of fluidized granular media is presented. Using a special energy injection mechanism, homogeneous fluidized stationary states are obtained. Molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical analysis of the inelastic hard-disk model show that there is a large asymmetry in the two-particle distribution function between pairs that approach and separate. Large velocity c...
متن کاملVelocity correlations in dense granular flows.
Velocity fluctuations of grains flowing down a rough inclined plane are experimentally studied. The grains at the free surface exhibit fluctuating motions, which are correlated over a few grain diameters. The characteristic correlation length is shown to depend on the inclination of the plane and not on the thickness of the flowing layer. This result strongly supports the idea that dense granul...
متن کاملVelocity correlations in dense granular gases.
We report the statistical properties of spherical steel particles rolling on an inclined surface being driven by an oscillating wall. Strong dissipation occurs due to collisions between the particles and can be tuned by changing the number density. The velocities of the particles are observed to be correlated over large distances comparable to the system size. The distribution of velocities dev...
