Hydrodynamics for inelastic Maxwell model
نویسنده
چکیده
Hydrodynamic equations for an inelastic Maxwell model are derived from the inelastic Boltzmann equation based on a systematic Chapman-Enskog perturbative scheme. Transport coefficients appear in Navier-Stokes order have been determined as a function of the restitution coefficient e, which cannot be defined for small e as a result of the high energy tail of the velocity distribution function obeying a power law. The dispersion relations for the linearized equation around a homogeneous cooling state have been obtained. 81.05.Rm,47.20.-k 05.20.Dd, 51,10.+y Typeset using REVTEX 1

Hydrodynamics of Inelastic Maxwell Models
An overview of recent results pertaining to the hydrodynamic description (both Newtonian and non-Newtonian) of granular gases described by the Boltzmann equation for inelastic Maxwell models is presented. The use of this mathematical model allows us to get exact results for different problems. First, the Navier–Stokes constitutive equations with explicit expressions for the corresponding transp...
متن کاملTransport coefficients of d-dimensional inelastic Maxwell models
Due to the mathematical complexity of the Boltzmann equation for inelastic hard spheres, a kinetic model has recently been proposed whereby the collision rate (which is proportional to the relative velocity for hard spheres) is replaced by an average velocity-independent value. The resulting inelastic Maxwell model has received a large amount of recent interest, especially in connection with th...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Burnett equations for inelastic Maxwell models of granular gases.
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, with a velocity-independent collision rate proportional to the γ power of the temperature. The pressure tensor and the heat flux are obtained to second order in...
متن کاملBuilt upon sand: Theoretical ideas inspired by granular flows
Granulated materials, like sand and sugar and salt, are composed of many pieces that can move independently. The study of collisions and flow in these materials requires new theoretical ideas beyond those in the standard statistical mechanics or hydrodynamics or traditional solid mechanics. Granular materials differ from standard molecular materials in that frictional forces among grains can di...
متن کاملExponential velocity tails in a driven inelastic Maxwell model.
The problem of the steady-state velocity distribution in a driven inelastic Maxwell model of shaken granular material is revisited. Numerical solution of the master equation and analytical arguments show that the model has bilateral exponential velocity tails [P(v) approximately e(-|v|/sqrt[D])], where D is the amplitude of the noise. Previous study of this model predicted Gaussian tails [P(v) ...
