Gas-solid fluidization technology has been commercialized in many industrial applications
since its implementation in the fluid catalytic cracking process in the early 1940s, however …

This review focuses on how the modeling of dense granular media has advanced over the
last 15 years. The jum**-off point of our review is the μ (I) rheology for dry granular flow …

A growing number of biological, soft, and active matter systems are observed to exhibit
normal diffusive dynamics with a linear growth of the mean-squared displacement, yet with a …

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 …

We review theoretical models of individual motility as well as collective dynamics and
pattern formation of active particles. We focus on simple models of active dynamics with a …

Aimed at graduate students, this book explores some of the core phenomena in non-
equilibrium statistical physics. It focuses on the development and application of theoretical …

Computer Simulations belong to the most important methods for the theoretical investigation
of granular materials. The present book is intended to serve as an introduction to the field …

This review article aims to provide a comprehensive and understandable account of the
theoretical foundation, modeling issues, and numerical implementation of the Lagrangian …

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 …

We review the general aspects of the concept of temperature in equilibrium and non-
equilibrium statistical mechanics. Although temperature is an old and well-established …
