A Langevin Description for Driven Granular Gases

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

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

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 is also...

Application of the Method of Generating Functions to the Derivation of Grad’s N-Moment Equations for a Granular Gas

S. H. Noskowicz, D. Serero (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

A computer aided method using symbolic computations that enables the calculation of the source terms (Boltzmann) in Grad’s method of moments is presented. The method is extremely powerful, easy to program and allows the derivation of balance equations to very high moments (limited only by computer resources). For sake of demonstration the method is applied to a simple case: the one-dimensional stationary granular gas under gravity. The method should...
