Mesoscopic Theory of Granular Fluids
T. P. C. van Noije, M. H. Ernst, R. Brito +1
Using fluctuating hydrodynamics we describe the slow build-up of long range spatial correlations in a freely evolving fluid of inelastic hard spheres. In the incompressible limit,…

Patterns and Long Range Correlations in Idealized Granular Flows
J. A. G. Orza, R. Brito, T. P. C. Van Noije +1
An initially homogeneous freely evolving fluid of inelastic hard spheres develops inhomogeneities in the flow field (vortices) and in the density field (clusters), driven by unstab…
