A molecular dynamics "Maxwell Demon" experiment for granular mixtures
A. Barrat, E. Trizac
We report a series of molecular dynamics simulations and investigate the possibility to separate a granular mixture of inelastic hard spheres by vigorously shaking it in a box made…
Dynamics of ballistic annihilation
Jaroslaw Piasecki, Emmanuel Trizac, Michel Droz
The problem of ballistically controlled annihilation is revisited for general initial velocity distributions and arbitrary dimension. An analytical derivation of the hierarchy equa…
Some exact results for Boltzmann's annihilation dynamics
Francois Coppex, Michel Droz, Jaroslaw Piasecki +2
The problem of ballistic annihilation for a spatially homogeneous system is revisited within Boltzmann's kinetic theory in two and three dimensions. Exact analytical results are de…
Molecular dynamics simulations of vibrated granular gases
Alain Barrat, Emmanuel Trizac
We present molecular dynamics simulations of mono- or bidisperse inelastic granular gases driven by vibrating walls, in two dimensions (without gravity). Because of the energy inje…
Kinetics and scaling in ballistic annihilation
Emmanuel Trizac
We study the simplest irreversible ballistically-controlled reaction, whereby particles having an initial continuous velocity distribution annihilate upon colliding. In the framewo…
Lack of energy equipartition in homogeneous heated binary granular mixtures
A. Barrat, E. Trizac
We consider the problem of determining the granular temperatures of the components of a homogeneous binary heated mixture of inelastic hard spheres, in the framework of Enskog kine…
