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 so, their collisions are inelastic. Given the interest in the effects of collisional dissipation on granular media under rapid flow conditions, the emphasis of this book is on an idealized model (smooth inelastic hard spheres) that isolates this effect from other important properties of granular systems. In this simple model, the inelasticity of collisions is only accounted for by a (positive) constant coefficient of normal restitution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author of this monograph uses a kinetic theory description (which can be considered as a mesoscopic description between statistical mechanics and hydrodynamics) to study granular flows from a microscopic point of view. In particular, the inelastic version of the Boltzmann and Enskog kinetic equations is the starting point of the analysis. Conventional methods such as Chapman-Enskog expansion, Grad's moment method and\/or kinetic models are generalized to dissipative systems to get the forms of the transport coefficients and hydrodynamics. The knowledge of granular hydrodynamics opens up the possibility of understanding interesting problems such as the spontaneous formation of density clusters and velocity vortices in freely cooling flows and\/or the lack of energy equipartition in granular mixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the topics covered in this monograph include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Navier-Stokes transport coefficients for granular gases at moderate densities\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Long-wavelength instability in freely cooling flows\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Non-Newtonian transport properties in granular shear flows\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Energy nonequipartition in freely cooling granular mixtures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Diffusion in strongly sheared granular mixtures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Exact solutions to the Boltzmann equation for inelastic Maxwell models\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783030044435\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGarzó, V: Granular Gaseous Flows\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783030044435","offer_id":32955317387357,"sku":"9783030044435","price":160.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/products\/c748e154-64e0-4606-bf81-229a5cd2d1af.jpg?v=1633276302","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/granular-gaseous-flows-a-kinetic-theory-approach-to-granular-gaseous-flows","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
