Cooling of a lattice granular fluid as an ordering process
arXiv:cond-mat/0105299 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.65.051301
Abstract
We present a new microscopic model of granular medium to study the role of dynamical correlations and the onset of spatial order induced by the inelasticity of the interactions. In spite of its simplicity, it features several different aspects of the rich phenomenology observed in granular materials and allows to make contact with other topics of statistical mechanics such as diffusion processes, domain growth, persistence, aging phenomena. Interestingly, while local observables being controlled by the largest wavelength fluctuations seem to suggest a purely diffusive behavior, the formation of spatially extended structures and topological defects, such as vortices and shocks, reveals a more complex scenario.
