It is well-recognized that granular media under rapid flow conditions can be modeled as a
gas of hard spheres with inelastic collisions. At moderate densities, a fundamental basis for …

We have measured the spectrum of velocity fluctuations in a granular system confined to a
vertical plane and driven into a homogeneous, steady state by strong vertical vibration. The …

We present an experimental study of velocity statistics for a partial layer of inelastic colliding
beads driven by a vertically oscillating boundary. Over a wide range of parameters …

" Granular Gases" are diluted many-particle systems in which the mean free path of the
particles is much larger than the typical particle size, and where particle collisions occur …

Abstract Direct Monte Carlo simulations of the Enskog-Boltzmann equation for a spatially
uniform system of smooth inelastic spheres are performed. In order to reach a steady state …

A hydrodynamic description for an s-component mixture of inelastic, smooth hard disks (two
dimensions) or spheres (three dimensions) is derived based on the revised Enskog theory …

When collections of macroscopic grains are forced to flow, they may be in a regime in which
they interact via near-instantaneous collisions: this regime is known as ''rapid granular …

The theory of homogeneously driven granular gases of hard particles predicts that the
stationary state is characterized by a velocity distribution function with overpopulated high …

A three-dimensional granular system fluidized by vertical container vibrations was studied
using pulsed field gradient NMR coupled with one-dimensional magnetic resonance …

The linear integral equations defining the Navier-Stokes (NS) transport coefficients for
polydisperse granular mixtures of smooth inelastic hard disks or spheres are solved by …
