Collisional Granular Flows with and without Gas Interactions in Microgravity Mini-Symposium on 'Microgravity Flow Phenomena' 21st International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics August 15-21, Warsaw, Poland

摘要

We illustrate the convenience of a long-lasting microgravity environment for studying flows of granular materials with and without gas interaction. We consider collisional granular flows of nearly elastic spheres featuring a single constituent or binary mixtures in various bounded geometries. We review governing equations for these flows, illustrate their solutions and compare them with numerical simulations and data from microgravity experiments.
