A Langevin Description for Driven Granular Gases

P. Maynar, M. I. García de Soria (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

The study of the fluctuations in the steady state of a heated granular system is reviewed. A Boltzmann-Langevin description can be built requiring consistency with the equations for the one- and two-particle correlation functions. From the Boltzmann-Langevin equation, Langevin equations for the total energy and the transverse velocity field are derived. The existence of a fluctuation-dissipation relation for the transverse velocity field...

Characterization of collision kernels

Laurent Desvillettes, Francesco Salvarani (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper we show how abstract physical requirements are enough to characterize the classical collision kernels appearing in kinetic equations. In particular Boltzmann and Landau kernels are derived.

Pointwise convergence of Boltzmann solutions for grazing collisions in a Maxwell gas via a probabilitistic interpretation

Hélène Guérin (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:


Using probabilistic tools, this work states a pointwise convergence of function solutions of the 2-dimensional Boltzmann equation to the function solution of the Landau equation for Maxwellian molecules when the collisions become grazing. To this aim, we use the results of Fournier (2000) on the Malliavin calculus for the Boltzmann equation. Moreover, using the particle system introduced by Guérin and Méléard (2003), some simulations of the solution of the Landau equation will be given....

Kinetic and hydrodynamic equations for granular media

Mario Pulvirenti (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

In this lecture i present some open mathematical problems concerning some PDE arising in the study of one-dimensional models for granular media.

Conservative forms of Boltzmann's collision operator: Landau revisited

Cédric Villani (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We show that Boltzmann's collision operator can be written explicitly in divergence and double divergence forms. These conservative formulations may be of interest for both theoretical and numerical purposes. We give an application to the asymptotics of grazing collisions.
