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…

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…

Microscopic model for a granular solid-liquid-like phase transition
Sébastien Aumaître, Nicolas Mujica
Forced granular matter in confined geometries presents phase transitions and coexistence. Depending on the system and forcing parameters, liquid-vapor and liquid-solid co-existing…
