Thermalization of an anisotropic granular particle
P. Viot, J. Talbot
We investigate the dynamics of a needle in a two-dimensional bath composed of thermalized point particles. Collisions between the needle and points are inelastic and characterized…
Memory and Kovacs effects in the parking-lot model: an approximate statistical-mechanical treatment
G. Tarjus, P. Viot
The parking-lot model provides a qualitative description of the main features of the phenomenology of granular compaction. We derive here approximate kinetic equations for this mod…
Edwards-like statistical mechanical description of the parking lot model for vibrated granular materials
G. Tarjus, P. Viot
We apply the statistical mechanical approach based on the ``flat'' measure proposed by Edwards and coworkers to the parking lot model, a model that reproduces the main features of…
Optimum Monte Carlo Simulations: Some Exact Results
J. Talbot, G. Tarjus, P. Viot
We obtain exact results for the acceptance ratio and mean squared displacement in Monte Carlo simulations of the simple harmonic oscillator in dimensions. When the trial displa…
