A driven two-dimensional granular gas with Coulomb friction

Olaf Herbst, Raffaele Cafiero, Annette Zippelius +2

We study a homogeneously driven granular gas of inelastic hard particles with rough surfaces subject to Coulomb friction. The stationary state as well as the full dynamic evolution…

Rotationally driven gas of inelastic rough spheres

R. Cafiero, S. Luding, H. J. Herrmann

We study a two-dimensional gas of inelastic rough spheres, driven on the rotational degrees of freedom. Numerical simulations are compared to mean-field (MF) predictions with surpr…

Mean Field theory for a driven granular gas of frictional particles

Raffaele Cafiero, Stefan Luding

We propose a mean field (MF) theory for a homogeneously driven granular gas of inelastic particles with Coulomb friction. The model contains three parameters, a normal restitution…

Fractal Growth from Local Instabilities

Raffaele Cafiero, Guido Caldarelli

We study, both with numerical simulations and theoretical methods, a cellular automata model for continuum equations describing growth processes in the presence of an external flux…

Two-dimensional Granular Gas of Inelastic Spheres with Multiplicative Driving

Raffaele Cafiero, Stefan Luding, Hans Jürgen Herrmann

We study a two-dimensional granular gas of inelastic spheres subject to multiplicative driving proportional to a power of the local particle velocity .…

Damaging and Cracks in Thin Mud Layers

Raffaele Cafiero, Guido Caldarelli, Andrea Gabrielli

We present a detailed study of a two-dimensional minimal lattice model for the description of mud cracking in the limit of extremely thin layers. In this model each bond of the lat…
