Inherent thermal convection in a gas inside a box under a gravity field
F. Vega Reyes, A. Puglisi, G. Pontuale +1
We theoretically prove the existence in granular fluids of a thermal convection that is inherent, in the sense that is always present and has no thermal gradient threshold (convect…

Dissipative lateral walls are sufficient to trigger convection in vibrated granular gases
G. Pontuale, Andrea Gnoli, Francisco Vega Reyes +1
Buoyancy-driven (thermal) convection in dilute granular media, fluidized by a vibrating base, is known to appear without the need of lateral boundaries in a restricted region of pa…
