Spontaneous phase separation in a vibro-fluidized granular layer
P Sunthar, V Kumaran
A new type of two phase coexistence in a vibrated granular material is reported, in the limit where energy transfer between the particles and the bottom wall occurs due to discrete…

An approximate solution to the Boltzmann equation for vibrated granular disks
P Sunthar, V Kumaran
The behaviour of the lower order moments of the velocity distribution function for a system of inelastic granular disks driven by vertical vibrations is studied using a kinetic the…
