Kinetics of coagulation phenomena from a granular matter perspective
Gustavo Castillo, Nicolás Mujica
Aggregation processes play a central role in systems ranging from aerosol coagulation and cloud formation to dust growth in protoplanetary disks and granular materials. These proce…

Unjamming in a 3D Granular System: The Micromechanical Role of Friction in Force Distributions and Rheological Properties
Vicente Salinas, Héctor Alarcón, Eduardo Rojas +2
In this work, we investigate the unjamming transition in a three-dimensional granular system composed of frictional spheres, in which the packing fraction is systematically reduced…

Impact of Initial Charge Distributions on the Kinetics of Charged Particle Coagulation
Gustavo Castillo, Nicolás Mujica
We investigate the kinetics of particle aggregation within the framework of the Smoluchowski coagulation equation, extending it to account for electrostatic interactions among char…
