Granular fluids

Future developments may include alternative treatment zones to treat aromatic hydrocarbons, metals, or radionuclides. The basic installation procedures and equipment can easily be modified to utilize other treatment zone materials. Any solid that can be handled as granular (fluid or semifluid) or introduced as a slurry can be used as treatment zone material with the current equipment. 

The simplest way to conduct the simulations of mesoscopic phenomena, consists in down-scaling of the continuum approach or upscaling (or coarse graining) the particle model. The limitation of the first approach is determined by the granular properties of matter, which are revealed for very small system. The behavior of granular fluid is different from that in the bulk. For example, very small systems may exhibit solid-liquid coexistence over a range of temperature different than that for large systems [31]. However, new approaches such as ...

This two-fluid model closure consisting of an elasticity modulus and a constant granular fluid viscosity, as used by Lindboig et al. [96, 97], corresponds to the CPV model concept defined in App D. 

The averages defined in (4.292) and (4.293) may be employed to ttansform the microscopic properties of the discrete single particles, (0 into the macroscopic variables V i and (V i) characterizing the continuous granular fluids.

Lathouwers and Bellan [87-91] and Chao [21], on the other hand, proposed that the granular temperature of granular fluids in multiple particle mixtures might rather be consistently defined in accordance with the mono-particle system definition (4.70). This means that the fluid dynamic velocity, Vj, represents a statistical average measure of the velocities of the discrete single particles, and the granular temperature, is a...

For 2D vertical vibration with the thin direction parallel to the vertical, a 2D fluid is produced [78-80,100-102]. The radial distribution function and bond-order parameter are identical to those in an equilibrium hard-sphere gas [78], even during crystallization. As the granular fluid approaches crystallization it exhibits glassy behavior including caging and a Vogel-Fulcher-like divergence of relaxation times [79]. Further, the velocity distribution is nearly Maxwell-Boltzmann with a small correction, which depends only on density [80].
