The Kovacs memory effect in a thin granular layer: experimental evidence and its physical origin

Francisco Vega Reyes, Álvaro Rodríguez-Rivas, Pablo Maynar +1

We report the experimental observation of memory effects in a vertically vibrated thin granular layer. Following a quench in the input acceleration, the granular temperature exhibi…

Cooling mechanism controls motility-induced phase separation in inertial active liquids

Manuel Mayo, Lorenzo Caprini, María Isabel García de Soria +4

Motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) is a central collective phenomenon in active matter, theoretically established in the overdamped regime. We discover that the dynamical ori…

Self-diffusion in confined systems

Manuel Mayo, María Isabel García de Soria, Pablo Maynar +1

The self-diffusion process of a hard sphere fluid confined by two parallel plates separated by a distance on the order of the particle diameter is studied. The starting point is a…

Fate of Boltzmann's breathers: kinetic theory perspective

P. Maynar, M. I. García de Soria, D. Guéry-Odelin +1

The dynamics of a system composed of elastic hard particles confined by an isotropic harmonic potential are studied. In the low-density limit, the Boltzmann equation provides an ex…

Dynamics and kinetic theory of hard spheres under strong confinement

J. Javier Brey, M. I. García de Soria, P. Maynar

The kinetic theory description of a low density gas of hard spheres or disks, confined between two parallel plates separated a distance smaller than twice the diameter of the parti…

Kinetic theory of diffusion in a channel of varying cross section

J. Javier Brey, M. I. García de Soria, P. Maynar

Self-diffusion along the longitudinal coordinate in a channel of varying cross section is considered. The starting point is the two-dimensional Enskog-Boltzmann-Lorentz kinetic equ…
