We propose a simulation method for Brownian dynamics of hard rods in one dimension for
arbitrary continuous external force fields. It is an event-driven procedure based on the …

In this paper we present the application of a physics-based three dimensional hard-sphere
impact model to many-particle systems. The hard sphere model is used with conventional …

Segregation for two granular species is studied numerically in a vertically vibrated quasi-two-
dimensional (quasi-2D) box. The height of the box is smaller than two particle diameters so …

Particle transport in both natural and fabricated systems often takes place in confined
geometries under single-file conditions. This means, that particles cannot pass each other …

Event-driven particle dynamics is a fast and precise method to simulate particulate systems
of all scales. In this work it is demonstrated that, despite the high accuracy of the method, the …

A new cluster based event-driven algorithm is developed to simulate the formation of
clusters in a two-dimensional gas: particles move freely until they collide and “stick” together …

The simulation of granular media is usually done either with event-driven codes that treat
collisions as instantaneous but have difficulty with very dense packings, or with molecular …

We present a numerical study of the spatial correlations of a quasi-two-dimensional granular
fluid kept in a nonstatic steady state via vertical shaking. The simulations explore a wide …

We describe the collective behaviour of a system of many inelastic spherical particles inside
a box which is being periodically vibrated. The box is shallow, with large horizontal …

Granular materials are ubiquitous in industry, nature, and everyday life. In combination with
their oftentimes counter-intuitive mechanical behavior this led to a significantly increasing …
