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…
