Collision integral definition

Note that the extra factor of V12 was not included in the definition of the operator in Eq. (6.44) on purpose. We shall see that without this factor, the integer moment collision integral would be closed, and thus, if we replace the factor by a constant (i.e. the Maxwell model), the moment equations are closed at every order. 

For elastic collisions, several different kinetic models have been proposed in order to close the Boltzmann hard-sphere collision term (Eq. 6.9). For inelastic collisions (e < 1), one must correctly account for the dependence of the dissipation of granular energy on the value of e. One method for accomplishing this task is to start from the exact (unclosed) collision integral in Eq. (6.68). From the definition of if given in Eq. (6.60), it can be... 

In summary, for a given value of V12 we can compute the spherical angles (0i and 0i), and then compute the transformation matrix L from Eq. (6.25). The components of the transformation matrix appear in the definitions of the collision term for the velocity moments. In the next section, we will show that the integrals in Eq. (6.23) for the collision terms can be written as explicit functions of the components of V12 and hence it will not be necessary to compute the spherical angles in order to evaluate the integrals. Nevertheless, it is... 

The reader will recognize that the coefficients are related to the integrals over the collision angles discussed in Section 6.1.4. The exact definitions are... 

Integration of Eq. (10.28) along the cross-section of the hydrodynamic layer allows us to check whether within its limits the radial velocity component is proportional to the tangential derivative of the velocity distribution along the bubble surface, which differs slightly from the potential distribution. The effect of a boundary layer on the normal velocity component and on inertia-free deposition of particles should be therefore very small. The formula for the collision efficiency given by Mileva as an inertia-free approximation is thus VRc times less than the collision efficiency according to Sutherland, which is definitely erroneous. 

In the next section (Sec. 2), we will develop the theory of the BCRLM. We discuss the solution of the coupled-channel equations in both natural collision coordinates " and hyperspherical coordinates. " Both coordinate systems are widely used to treat collinear reactive scattering processes. We will discuss the projection " of the hyperspherical equations on coordinate surfaces appropriate for applying scattering boundary conditions and review the definition of integral and differential scattering cross sections in this model. 

By definition, before the collision, momentumx = 0. Therefore, the required component of the momentum can be computedas the integral, along the trajectory, of the -L component of the force... 

To illustrate these definitions, we consider a collision between two hard spheres (HS) with radii ri and T2, yielding a total hard sphere radius r = ri -f T2. The HS differential reaction cross section is r /4, independent of scattering angle. The HS integral reaction cross section is Trr, consistent with circular area of radius... 

The barrier model can be used to set safety performance objectives for conflict removal and collision avoidance, and thus contributes to the definition of the function and performance requirements for the systems which iirqilement the barriers -for example the necessary accmacy of surveillance systems. The barrier model can also be used to set integrity targets for the incorrect operation of the barriers. This can be illustrated by the conceptual model in Figure 2, which shows the risk reduction achievable by the correct operation of each group of barriers (left-pointing arrows) and the risk increase from incorrect operation of the barriers (rightpointing arrows).
