We study the Boltzmann equation for a space-homogeneous gas of inelastic hard spheres,
with a diffusive term representing a random background forcing. Under the assumption that …

We consider the problem of determining the granular temperatures of the components of a
homogeneous binary heated mixture of inelastic hard spheres, in the framework of Enskog …

We study high-energy asymptotics of the steady velocity distributions for model kinetic
equations describing various regimes in dilute granular flows. The main results obtained are …

We propose a new spectral Lagrangian based deterministic solver for the non-linear
Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) in d-dimensions for variable hard sphere (VHS) …

The role of forcing on the dynamics of a vertically shaken granular monolayer is
investigated. Using a flat plate, surprising negative velocity correlations are measured. A …

Motivated by recent experiments reporting non-Gaussian velocity distributions in driven
dilute granular materials, we study by numerical simulation the properties of 2D inelastic …

We present a molecular-dynamics and kinetic theory study of granular material, modeled by
inelastic hard disks, fluidized by a random driving force. The focus is on collisional averages …

We describe a series of experiments and computer simulations on vibrated granular media
in a geometry chosen to eliminate gravitationally induced settling. The system consists of a …

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 …

We study velocity statistics of electrostatically driven granular gases. For two different
experiments,(i) nonmagnetic particles in a viscous fluid and (ii) magnetic particles in air, the …
