Granular Gaseous Flows

A Kinetic Theory Approach to Granular Gaseous Flows

by Vicente Garzó ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
Back Cover Text:This book addresses the study of the gaseous state of granular matter in the conditions of rapid flow caused by a violent and sustained excitation. In this regime, grains only touch each other during collisions and hence, kinetic theory is a very useful tool to study granular flows. The main difference with respect to ordinary or molecular fluids is that grains are macroscopic and ... Read more
