A Systematic Expansion Method in Granular Hydrodynamics
J. Wakou
We propose a systematic expansion method which is applied to freely evolving granular fluids contained in sufficiently small systems. Restricting ourselves to small systems, we sho…

Towards a Landau-Ginzburg-type Theory for Granular Fluids
J. Wakou, R. Brito, M. H. Ernst
In this paper we show how, under certain restrictions, the hydrodynamic equations for the freely evolving granular fluid fit within the framework of the time dependent Landau-Ginzb…
