Nontrivial Velocity Distributions in Inelastic Gases
Granular gases present novel challenges, previously not encountered in fluid dynamics [1]. Specifically, the strong underlying energy dissipation leads to clustering instabilities and strong velocity correlations [2–7]. A series of recent experimental and theoretical studies reveals a rich phenomenology. In particular, velocities are characterized by anomalous statistics, sensitive to the detai...
متن کاملVelocity distributions in dissipative granular gases.
Motivated by recent experiments reporting non-Gaussian velocity distributions in driven dilute granular materials, we study by numerical simulation the properties of 2D inelastic gases. We find theoretically that the form of the observed velocity distribution is governed primarily by the coefficient of restitution eta and q=N(H)/N(C), the ratio between the average number of heatings and the ave...
متن کاملPower-law velocity distributions in granular gases.
The kinetic theory of granular gases is studied for spatially homogeneous systems. At large velocities, the equation governing the velocity distribution becomes linear, and it admits stationary solutions with a power-law tail, f (v) approximately v(-sigma) . This behavior holds in arbitrary dimension for arbitrary collision rates including both hard spheres and Maxwell molecules. Numerical simu...
متن کاملVelocity modulation of microtubules in electric fields.
We show that the speed of microtubules gliding over a kinesin-coated surface can be controlled over a wide range of values by the application of an electric field. The speed can be increased by up to a factor of 5 compared to the speed at zero field when assisting forces are applied and slowed down to zero velocity for opposing fields. Sideways applied fields also induce significant motion. The...
