Dynamics of Freely Cooling Granular Gases
Xiaobo Nie, Eli Ben-Naim, Shiyi Chen
We study dynamics of freely cooling granular gases in two-dimensions using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. We find that for dilute systems the typical kinetic energy de…
Dynamics of Vibrated Granular Monolayers
X. Nie, E. Ben-Naim, S. Y. Chen
We study statistical properties of vibrated granular monolayers using molecular dynamics simulations. We show that at high excitation strengths, the system is in a gas state, parti…
Lattice-Boltzmann Simulations of Fluid Flows in MEMS
Xiaobo Nie, Gary D. Doolen, Shiyi Chen
The lattice Boltzmann model is a simplified kinetic method based on the particle distribution function. We use this method to simulate problems in MEMS, in which the velocity slip…
Clustering Kinetics of Granular Media in Three Dimensions
Shiyi Chen, Yuefan Deng, Xiaobo Nie +1
Three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of dissipative particles (~ 10^6) are carried out for studying the clustering kinetics of granular media during cooling. The inter-…
