Granular clustering in a hydrodynamic simulation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the hydrodynamics of a granular gas using numerical simulation. We demonstrate the appearance of shearing and clustering instabilities predicted by linear stability analysis, and show that their appearance is directly related to the inelasticity of collisions in the material. We discuss the rate at which these instabilities arise and the manner in which clusters grow and merge.

Numerical Simulation of Granular Column Collapses with Pressure-Dependent Viscoplastic Model using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic Method
This paper presents a numerical analysis of granular column collapse phenomenon using a two-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics model and a local constitutive law proposed by Jop et al. This constitutive law, which is based on the viscoplastic behaviour of dense granular material flows, is characterized by an apparent viscosity depending both on the local strain rate and the local press...
متن کاملFluctuations, hydrodynamics and scale separation in gas–solid flows
Fluctuations in the number of particles (or droplets and bubbles) are observed in experiments of multiphase flows, and these also manifest as fluctuations of the dispersed–phase volume fraction. The intensity of these fluctuations is characterized using a mathematical description based on second–order statistics. The intensity and range of fluctuations in the clustering regime of a granular gas...
متن کاملGranular Hydrodynamics and Pattern Formation in Vertically Oscillated Granular Disks Layers
A numerical hydrodynamic model of a vibrated granular bed in 2D is elaborated based on a highly accurate Shock Capturing scheme applied to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for granular flow. The hydrodynamic simulation of granular flows is numerically difficult, particularly in systems where dilute and dense regions occur at the same time and interact with each other. As an example of s...
متن کاملA rescaling velocity method for dissipative kinetic equations. Applications to granular media
We present a new numerical algorithm based on a relative energy scaling for collisional kinetic equations allowing to study numerically their long time behavior, without the usual problems related to the change of scales in velocity variables. It is based on the knowledge of the hydrodynamic limit of the model considered, but is able to compute solutions for either dilute or dense regimes. Seve...
متن کاملHydrodynamics of rapid granular flow of inelastic particles into vacuum
The problem of expansion of a dilute granular gas consisting of smooth, inelastic hard spheres into vacuum was investigated by three different methods: both (1) analytical and (2) computational (CFD) treatments of a hydrodynamic model, and (3) by Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation. Furthermore, the systems were followed for long times, over which the granular kinetic energy decreases by s...
