Granular materials are ubiquitous in the world around us. They have properties that are
different from those commonly associated with either solids, liquids, or gases. In this review …

Granular materials are ubiquitous in our daily lives. While they have been the subject of
intensive engineering research for centuries, in the last two decades granular matter has …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

Meso-scale structures that take the form of clusters and streamers are commonly observed
in dilute gas–particle flows, such as those encountered in risers. Continuum equations for …

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 …

The hydrodynamic equations for a gas of hard spheres with dissipative dynamics are
derived from the Boltzmann equation. The heat and momentum fluxes are calculated to …

The objective of this paper is to identify a numerical method to simulate motion of a packed
or fluidized bed of fuel particles in combustion chambers, such as a grate furnace and a …

Granular materials, like sand, powder or grains present intriguing phenomena. Vibration and
shearing can lead to convective motion and segregation. A variation of stress may cause …

In the Brazil nut problem (BNP), hard spheres with larger diameters rise to the top. There are
various explanations (percolation, reorganization, convection), but a broad understanding or …

Steady state dynamics of clustering, long-range order, and inelastic collapse are
experimentally observed in vertically shaken granular monolayers. At large vibration …
