Linear Response for Granular Fluids
نویسندگان
چکیده
The linear response of an isolated, homogeneous granular fluid to small spatial perturbations is studied by methods of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. The long wavelength linear hydrodynamic equations are obtained, with formally exact expressions for the susceptibilities and transport coefficients. The latter are given in equivalent Einstein-Helfand and Green-Kubo forms. The context of these results and their contrast with corresponding results for normal fluids are discussed.

Linear response and hydrodynamics for granular fluids.
A formal derivation of linear hydrodynamics for a granular fluid is given. The linear response to small spatial perturbations of a homogeneous reference state is studied in detail, using methods of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. A transport matrix for macroscopic excitations in the fluid is defined in terms of the response functions. An expansion in the wave vector to second order allows...
متن کاملViolation of the Einstein relation in Granular Fluids: the role of correlations
We study the linear response in different models of driven granular gases. In some situations, even if the the velocity statistics can be strongly non-Gaussian, we do not observe appreciable violations of the Einstein formula for diffusion versus mobility. The situation changes when strong correlations between velocities and density are present: in this case, although a form of fluctuation-diss...
متن کاملLinear stability analysis of a vertically oscillated granular layer.
We present a linear stability analysis of an oscillating granular layer, treating it as an isothermal incompressible fluid with zero surface tension, which undergoes periodic collisions with and separations from an oscillating plate. Because the viscosity of the granular layer is unknown, we use the experimental value of the critical acceleration for the transition from a flat to patterned laye...
متن کاملTransport coefficients for the hard-sphere granular fluid.
In the preceding paper, linear response methods have been applied to obtain formally exact expressions for the parameters of Navier-Stokes order hydrodynamics. The analysis there is general, applying to both normal and granular fluids with a wide range of collision rules. Those results are specialized here to the case of smooth, inelastic, hard spheres with constant coefficient of normal restit...
متن کاملA 2D constitutive non-linear model with anisotropy for granular materials
Dense granular materials behave differently from classical fluids or solids and can not be described through the continuum theories developed for those. In fact behavior at macro-scale is strongly related to smaller-scale field variables and kinetic processes. The influence of the micromechanics on the non-coaxiality of stress, strain and anisotropy of soils, is an essential part of a constitut...
