Velocity 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 correlations in dense granular gases.
We report the statistical properties of spherical steel particles rolling on an inclined surface being driven by an oscillating wall. Strong dissipation occurs due to collisions between the particles and can be tuned by changing the number density. The velocities of the particles are observed to be correlated over large distances comparable to the system size. The distribution of velocities dev...
متن کاملNontrivial 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 کاملCrucial role of sidewalls in velocity distributions in quasi-two-dimensional granular gases.
Our experiments and three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of particles confined to a vertical monolayer by closely spaced frictional walls (sidewalls) yield velocity distributions with non-Gaussian tails and a peak near zero velocity. Simulations with frictionless sidewalls are not peaked. Thus interactions between particles and their containers are an important determinant of the sh...
