Granular materials are ubiquitous in nature and are also employed in many industrial
settings such as those involving chemical processes, pharmaceutical products, mining, and …

The kinetic theory of gases as we know it dates to the paper of Boltzmann in 1872. The
justification and context of this equation has been clarified over the past half century to the …

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 Monte Carlo simulation method to numerically solve the Enskog equation for a hard-
sphere fluid is proposed. The method is based on and extends Bird's direct simulation Monte …

The Navier–Stokes transport coefficients of a granular gas are obtained from the Chapman–
Enskog solution to the Boltzmann equation. The granular gas is heated by the action of an …

The transport coefficients of a granular fluid driven by a stochastic bath with friction are
obtained by solving the inelastic Enskog kinetic equation from the Chapman-Enskog …

The revised Enskog kinetic theory (RET) for a system of hard spheres provides an
exceptionally broad description of mesoscopic and macroscopic dynamics, applicable for …

Non-Newtonian transport properties of a dilute gas of inelastic hard spheres immersed in a
molecular gas are determined. We assume that the granular gas is sufficiently rarefied, and …

Abstract The Chapman-Enskog expansion for a fluid in uniform shear flow is investigated
with use of a Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model for the nonlinear Boltzmann equation. It is …

The inelastic Boltzmann equation for a granular gas is applied to spatially inhomogeneous
states close to uniform shear flow. A normal solution is obtained via a Chapman-Enskog-like …
