Kinetic Models for Granular Flow 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The generalization of the Boltzmann and Enskog kinetic equations to allow inelastic collisions provides a basis for studies of granular media at a fundamental level. For elastic collisions the significant technical challenges presented in solving these equations have been circumvented by the use of corresponding model kinetic equations. The objective here is to discuss the formulation of model kinetic equations for the case of inelastic collisions. To illustrate the qualitative changes resulting from inelastic collisions the dynamics of a heavy particle in a gas of much lighter particles is considered first. The Boltzmann–Lorentz equation is reduced to a Fokker–Planck equation and its exact solution is obtained. Qualitative differences from the elastic case arise primarily from the cooling of the surrounding gas. The excitations, or physical spectrum, are no longer determined simply from the Fokker–Planck operator, but rather from a related operator incorporating the cooling effects. Nevertheless, it is shown that a diffusion mode dominates for long times just as in the elastic case. From the spectral analysis of the Fokker–Planck equation an associated kinetic model is obtained. In appropriate dimensionless variables it has the same form as the BGK kinetic model for elastic collisions, known to be an accurate representation of the Fokker–Planck equation. On the basis of these considerations, a kinetic model for the Boltzmann equation is derived. The exact solution for states near the homogeneous cooling state is obtained and the transport properties are discussed, including the relaxation toward hydrodynamics. As a second application of this model, it is shown that the exact solution for uniform shear flow arbitrarily far from equilibrium can be obtained from the corresponding known solution for elastic collisions. Finally, the kinetic model for the dense fluid Enskog equation is described. 相似文献

When considering the hydrodynamics of Brownian particles, one is confronted to a difficult closure problem. One possibility to close the hierarchy of hydrodynamic equations is to consider a strong friction limit. This leads to the Smoluchowski equation that reduces to the ordinary diffusion equation in the absence of external forces. Unfortunately, this equation has infinite propagation speed leading to some difficulties. Another possibility is to make a Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (L.T.E) assumption. This leads to the damped Euler equation with an isothermal equation of state. However, this approach is purely phenomenological. In this paper, we provide a preliminary discussion of the validity of the L.T.E assumption. To that purpose, we consider the case of free Brownian particles and harmonically bound Brownian particles for which exact analytical results can be obtained [S. Chandrasekhar, Rev. Mod. Phys. 15, 1 (1943)]. For these systems, we find that the L.T.E. assumption is not unreasonable and that it can be improved by introducing a time dependent kinetic temperature Tkin(t)=γ(t)T instead of the bath temperature T. We also compare hydrodynamic equations and generalized diffusion equations with time dependent diffusion coefficients. 相似文献

We study a dilute granular gas immersed in a thermal bath made of smaller particles with masses not much smaller than the granular ones in this work. Granular particles are assumed to have inelastic and hard interactions, losing energy in collisions as accounted by a constant coefficient of normal restitution. The interaction with the thermal bath is modeled by a nonlinear drag force plus a white-noise stochastic force. The kinetic theory for this system is described by an Enskog–Fokker–Planck equation for the one-particle velocity distribution function. To get explicit results of the temperature aging and steady states, Maxwellian and first Sonine approximations are developed. The latter takes into account the coupling of the excess kurtosis with the temperature. Theoretical predictions are compared with direct simulation Monte Carlo and event-driven molecular dynamics simulations. While good results for the granular temperature are obtained from the Maxwellian approximation, a much better agreement, especially as inelasticity and drag nonlinearity increase, is found when using the first Sonine approximation. The latter approximation is, additionally, crucial to account for memory effects such as Mpemba and Kovacs-like ones. 相似文献

The transport coefficients for a gas of smooth, inelastic hard spheres are obtained from the Boltzmann equation in the form of Green–Kubo relations. The associated time correlation functions are not simply those constructed from the fluxes of conserved densities. Instead, fluxes constructed from the reference local homogeneous distribution occur as well. The analysis exposes some complexities to be expected in the application of linear response methods to granular systems. 相似文献

The Fokker–Planck equation for the distribution function of the intensity of an individual component has been solved in the approximation of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process within the framework of the formalism of the method of polarization components. Based on this solution, we have constructed the distribution functions of the degree of lasing radiation polarization, analyzed experimental data for a certain geometry of laser pumping, and determined the values of the distribution parameters, including the loss coefficients for the polarization component. 相似文献

Using multiscale analysis and methods of statistical physics, we show that a solution to the N-atom Liouville equation can be decomposed via an expansion in terms of a smallness parameter , wherein the long scale time behavior depends upon a reduced probability density that is a function of slow-evolving order parameters. This reduced probability density is shown to satisfy the Smoluchowski equation up to O(2) for a given range of initial conditions. Furthermore, under the additional assumption that the nanoparticle momentum evolves on a slow time scale, we show that this reduced probability density satisfies a Fokker–Planck equation up to O(2). This approach has applications to a broad range of problems in the nanosciences. 相似文献

We perform a linear dynamical stability analysis of a general hydrodynamic model of chemotactic aggregation [P.H. Chavanis, C. Sire, Physica A 384 (2007) 199]. Specifically, we study the stability of an infinite and homogeneous distribution of cells against “chemotactic collapse”. We discuss the analogy between the chemotactic collapse of biological populations and the gravitational collapse (Jeans instability) of self-gravitating systems. Our hydrodynamic model involves a pressure force which can take into account several effects like anomalous diffusion or the fact that the organisms cannot interpenetrate. We also take into account the degradation of the chemical which leads to a shielding of the interaction like for a Yukawa potential. Finally, our hydrodynamic model involves a friction force which quantifies the importance of inertial effects. In the strong friction limit, we obtain a generalized Keller–Segel model similar to the generalized Smoluchowski–Poisson system describing self-gravitating Langevin particles. For small frictions, we obtain a hydrodynamic model of chemotaxis similar to the Euler–Poisson system describing a self-gravitating barotropic gas. We show that an infinite and homogeneous distribution of cells is unstable against chemotactic collapse when the “velocity of sound” in the medium is smaller than a critical value. We study in detail the linear development of the instability and determine the range of unstable wavelengths, the growth rate of unstable modes and the damping rate, or the pulsation frequency, of the stable modes as a function of the friction parameter and shielding length. For specific equations of state, we express the stability criterion in terms of cell density. 相似文献

We prove convergence to equilibrium with explicit rates for various kinetic equations with relatively bad control of the distribution tails: in particular, Boltzmann-type equations with (smoothed) soft potentials. We compensate the lack of uniform-in-time estimates by the use of precise logarithmic Sobolev-type inequalities, and the assumption that the initial datum decays rapidly at large velocities. Our method not only gives explicit results on the times of convergence, but is also able to cover situations in which compactness arguments apparently do not apply (even mere convergence to equilibrium was an open problem for soft potentials). 相似文献

We prove the existence and uniqueness of an equilibrium state with unit mass to the dissipative linear Boltzmann equation with hard-spheres collision kernel describing inelastic interactions of a gas particles with a fixed background. The equilibrium state is a universal Maxwellian distribution function with the same velocity as field particles and with a non-zero temperature lower than the background one. Moreover thanks to the H-Theorem we prove strong convergence of the solution to the Boltzmann equation towards the equilibrium. 相似文献

In this paper the relation between the kinetic set of Becker–Döring (BD) equations and the classical Lifshitz–Slyozov (LS) theory of coarsening is studied. A model that resembles the LS theory but keeps some of the nucleation effects is derived. For this model a solution is described that shows how the kinetic effects explain the particular solution selected in the LS theory. By means of a renormalization procedure, a discrete group of transformations is shown to play an important role in describing the structure of the solution near the critical size of the LS theory. 相似文献

In this work, a finite element (FE) method is discussed for the 3D steady Navier–Stokes equations by using the finite element pair . The method consists of transmitting the finite element solution of the 3D steady Navier–Stokes equations into the finite element solution pairs based on the finite element space pair of the 3D steady linearized Navier–Stokes equations by using the Stokes, Newton and Oseen iterative methods, where the finite element space pair satisfies the discrete inf-sup condition in a 3D domain . Here, we present the weak formulations of the FE method for solving the 3D steady Stokes, Newton and Oseen iterative equations, provide the existence and uniqueness of the FE solution of the 3D steady Stokes, Newton and Oseen iterative equations, and deduce the convergence with respect to of the FE solution to the exact solution of the 3D steady Navier–Stokes equations in the norm. Finally, we also give the convergence order with respect to of the FE velocity to the exact velocity u of the 3D steady Navier–Stokes equations in the norm. 相似文献

Anomalous diffusion is one of the most ubiquitous phenomena in nature, and it is present in a wide variety of physical situations, for instance, transport of fluid in porous media, diffusion of plasma, diffusion at liquid surfaces, etc. The fractional approach proved to be highly effective in a rich variety of scenarios such as continuous time random walk models, generalized Langevin equations, or the generalized master equation. To investigate the subdiffusion of anomalous diffusion, it would be useful to study a time fractional Fokker–Planck equation. In this paper, firstly the time fractional, the sense of Riemann–Liouville derivative, Fokker–Planck equation is transformed into a time fractional ordinary differential equation (FODE) in the sense of Caputo derivative by discretizing the spatial derivatives and using the properties of Riemann–Liouville derivative and Caputo derivative. Then combining the predictor–corrector approach with the method of lines, the algorithm is designed for numerically solving FODE with the numerical error O(kmin{1+2α,2})+O(h2), and the corresponding stability condition is got. The effectiveness of this numerical algorithm is evaluated by comparing its numerical results for α=1.0 with the ones of directly discretizing classical Fokker–Planck equation, some numerical results for time fractional Fokker–Planck equation with several different fractional orders are demonstrated and compared with each other, moreover for α=0.8 the convergent order in space is confirmed and the numerical results with different time step sizes are shown. 相似文献

With the aim of improving the reconstruction of stochastic evolution equations from empirical time-series data, we derive a full representation of the generator of the Kramers–Moyal operator via a power-series expansion of the exponential operator. This expansion is necessary for deriving the different terms in a stochastic differential equation. With the full representation of this operator, we are able to separate finite-time corrections of the power-series expansion of arbitrary order into terms with and without derivatives of the Kramers–Moyal coefficients. We arrive at a closed-form solution expressed through conditional moments, which can be extracted directly from time-series data with a finite sampling intervals. We provide all finite-time correction terms for parametric and non-parametric estimation of the Kramers–Moyal coefficients for discontinuous processes which can be easily implemented—employing Bell polynomials—in time-series analyses of stochastic processes. With exemplary cases of insufficiently sampled diffusion and jump-diffusion processes, we demonstrate the advantages of our arbitrary-order finite-time corrections and their impact in distinguishing diffusion and jump-diffusion processes strictly from time-series data. 相似文献

In this paper we show how, under certain restrictions, the hydrodynamic equations for the freely evolving granular fluid fit within the framework of the time dependent Landau–Ginzburg (LG) models for critical and unstable fluids. The granular fluid, which is usually modeled as a fluid of inelastic hard spheres (IHS), exhibits two instabilities: the spontaneous formation of vortices and of high density clusters. We suppress the clustering instability by imposing constraints on the system sizes, in order to illustrate how LG-equations can be derived for the order parameter, being the rate of deformation or shear rate tensor, which controls the formation of vortex patterns. From the shape of the energy functional we obtain the stationary patterns in the flow field. Quantitative predictions of this theory for the stationary states agree well with molecular dynamics simulations of a fluid of inelastic hard disks. 相似文献

In this paper, four stabilized methods based on the lowest equal-order finite element pair for the steady micropolar Navier–Stokes equations (MNSE) are presented, which are penalty, regular, multiscale enrichment, and local Gauss integration methods. A priori properties, existence, uniqueness, stability, and error estimation based on Fem approximation of all the methods are proven for the physical variables. Finally, some numerical examples are displayed to show the numerical characteristics of these methods. 相似文献

The transverse momentum spectra of different types of particles, , , p and , produced at mid-(pseudo)rapidity in different centrality lead–lead (Pb–Pb) collisions at 2.76 TeV; proton–lead (p–Pb) collisions at 5.02 TeV; xenon–xenon (Xe–Xe) collisions at 5.44 TeV; and proton–proton (p–p) collisions at 0.9, 2.76, 5.02, 7 and 13 TeV, were analyzed by the blast-wave model with fluctuations. With the experimental data measured by the ALICE and CMS Collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the kinetic freeze-out temperature, transverse flow velocity and proper time were extracted from fitting the transverse momentum spectra. In nucleus–nucleus (A–A) and proton–nucleus (p–A) collisions, the three parameters decrease with the decrease of event centrality from central to peripheral, indicating higher degrees of excitation, quicker expansion velocities and longer evolution times for central collisions. In p–p collisions, the kinetic freeze-out temperature is nearly invariant with the increase of energy, though the transverse flow velocity and proper time increase slightly, in the considered energy range. 相似文献

The analytic construction of a many-body potential inspired from the Sutton–Chen parametrization is presented for copper and silver. A new approach is used to model the cross interaction for the Cu–Ag alloys. The parameters are fitted to first principles calculations based on the full potential linear plane wave method. The structural properties of the order and disorder Cu–Ag alloys in the B2and fcc structures are presented for different concentration. 相似文献
