It is well-recognized that granular media under rapid flow conditions can be modeled as a
gas of hard spheres with inelastic collisions. At moderate densities, a fundamental basis for …

The Enskog kinetic theory is used as a starting point to model a suspension of solid particles
in a viscous gas. Unlike previous efforts for similar suspensions, the gas-phase contribution …

A hydrodynamic description for an s-component mixture of inelastic, smooth hard disks (two
dimensions) or spheres (three dimensions) is derived based on the revised Enskog theory …

The linear integral equations defining the Navier-Stokes (NS) transport coefficients for
polydisperse granular mixtures of smooth inelastic hard disks or spheres are solved by …

Recent years have seen significant progress in our understanding of the rheology of dry
granular materials. A scale invariance of equations of motion in the rigid grain limit has …

The force-driven Poiseuille flow of dense gases between two parallel plates is investigated
through the numerical solution of the generalized Enskog equation for two-dimensional hard …

The development of an applicable theory for granular matter—with both qualitative and
quantitative value—is a challenging prospect, given the multitude of states, phases and …

The Navier-Stokes transport coefficients of multicomponent granular suspensions at
moderate densities are obtained in the context of the (inelastic) Enskog kinetic theory. The …

The flow of momentum and energy in a fluid is typically associated with dissipative transport
coefficients: viscosity and thermal conductivity. Fluids that break certain symmetries such as …

A study of the transport coefficients of a system of elastic hard disks based on the use of
Helfand-Einstein expressions is reported. The self-diffusion, the viscosity, and the heat …
