▪ Abstract The recent avalanche of research activity in the field of granular matter has yielded
much progress. The use of state-of-the-art (and other) computational and experimental …

Granulated materials, like sand and sugar and salt, are composed of many pieces that can
move independently. The study of collisions and flow in these materials requires new …

We propose a model for collisions between particles of a granular material and calculate the
restitution coefficients for the normal and tangential motion as functions of the impact velocity …

Computer Simulations belong to the most important methods for the theoretical investigation
of granular materials. The present book is intended to serve as an introduction to the field …

It is shown that a gas composed of inelastically colliding particles is unstable to the formation
of high density clusters. A possible physical mechanism underlying this instability is …

We report large-scale computer simulations of the hard-disk system at high densities in the
region of the melting transition. Our simulations reproduce the equation of state, previously …

The objective of this paper is to identify a numerical method to simulate motion of a packed
or fluidized bed of fuel particles in combustion chambers, such as a grate furnace and a …

In this first part of a series of two papers, we present in considerable detail a collision-driven
molecular dynamics algorithm for a system of non-spherical particles, within a …

Molecular dynamic simulations show that a two-dimensional gas of inelastic disks, started
from random initial conditions, has a finite time singularity in which a group of particles …

This article reviews the general features of the multiscale structures in particle–fluid systems
and the characterization, modeling, and simulation methods for these systems. The …
