CPM Seminar

In this talk, we first explore simple consequences of the excluded volume interaction of hard spheres and present a new theory of excited granular materials. We examine the statistics of weakly excited and dense granular materials, and develop a thermodynamic theory. We also present a solution of the Enskoq equation and discuss a strange phenomenon associated with it. Finally, we present a theory of granular convection based on two hydrodynamic models.
