Linear hydrodynamics for driven granular gases

Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2013 Feb;87(2):022201. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.87.022201. Epub 2013 Feb 5.

Abstract

We study the dynamics of a granular gas heated by a stochastic thermostat. From a Boltzmann description, we derive the hydrodynamic equations for small perturbations around the stationary state that is reached in the long time limit. Transport coefficients are identified as Green-Kubo formulas obtaining explicit expressions as a function of the inelasticity and the spatial dimension.
