Granular Gas Dynamics (Lecture Notes in Physics, 624) - Hardcover

 
9783540201106: Granular Gas Dynamics (Lecture Notes in Physics, 624)

Synopsis

While there is not yet any general theory for granular materials, significant progress has been achieved for dilute systems, also called granular gases. The contributions in this book address both the kinetic approach one using the Boltzmann equation for dissipative gases as well as the less established hydrodynamic description. The last part of the book is devoted to driven granular gases and their analogy with molecular fluids. Care has been taken so as to present the material in a pedagogical and self-contained way and this volume will thus be particularly useful to nonspecialists and newcomers to the field.
