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 …

The revised Enskog theory for inelastic hard spheres is considered as a model for rapid flow
granular media at finite densities. A normal solution is obtained via the Chapman-Enskog …

In this paper a procedure for systematic a priori derivation of the lattice Boltzmann models for
nonideal gases from the Enskog equation (the modified Boltzmann equation for dense …

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 …

We derive the hydrodynamics for a system of N active, spherical, underdamped particles,
interacting through conservative forces. At the microscopic level, we represent the evolution …

The generalization of the Boltzmann and Enskog kinetic equations to allow inelastic
collisions provides a basis for studies of granular media at a fundamental level. For elastic …

The Mpemba effect (a counterintuitive thermal relaxation process where an initially hotter
system may cool down to the steady state sooner than an initially colder system) is studied in …

The development of an applicable theory for granular matter—with both qualitative and
quantitative value—is a challenging prospect, given the multitude of states, phases and …

Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out along four Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid
isomorphs close to the freezing line, covering a temperature, T, in the range of 0.8–350 and …
