A kinetic approach to granular gases
A. Puglisi, V. Loreto, U. Marini Bettolo Marconi +1
We address the problem of the so-called ``granular gases'', i.e. gases of massive particles in rapid movement undergoing inelastic collisions. We introduce a class of models of dri…

Clustering and Non-Gaussian Behavior in Granular Matter
A. Puglisi, V. Loreto, U. Marini Bettolo Marconi +2
We investigate the properties of a model of granular matter consisting of Brownian particles on a line subject to inelastic mutual collisions. This model displays a genuine the…
