The Knudsen temperature jump and the Navier-Stokes hydrodynamics of granular gases driven by thermal walls
Evgeniy Khain, Baruch Meerson, Pavel V. Sasorov
Thermal wall is a convenient idealization of a rapidly vibrating plate used for vibrofluidization of granular materials. The objective of this work is to incorporate the Knudsen te…
Hydrodynamics of fluid-solid coexistence in dense shear granular flow
Evgeniy Khain
We consider dense rapid shear flow of inelastically colliding hard disks. Navier-Stokes granular hydrodynamics is applied accounting for the recent finding \cite{Luding,Khain} that…
Shear-induced crystallization of a dense rapid granular flow: hydrodynamics beyond the melting point?
Evgeniy Khain, Baruch Meerson
We investigate shear-induced crystallization in a very dense flow of mono-disperse inelastic hard spheres. We consider a steady plane Couette flow under constant pressure and negle…
Phase diagram of van der Waals-like phase separation in a driven granular gas
Evgeniy Khain, Baruch Meerson, Pavel V. Sasorov
Equations of granular hydrostatics are used to compute the phase diagram of the recently discovered van der Waals-like phase separation in a driven granular gas. The model two-dime…
Oscillatory instability in a driven granular gas
Evgeniy Khain, Baruch Meerson
We discovered an oscillatory instability in a system of inelastically colliding hard spheres, driven by two opposite "thermal" walls at zero gravity. The instability, predicted by…
Onset of thermal convection in a horizontal layer of granular gas
Evgeniy Khain, Baruch Meerson
The Navier-Stokes granular hydrodynamics is employed for determining the threshold of thermal convection in an infinite horizontal layer of granular gas. The dependence of the conv…
