Prediction of hydrodynamic characteristics of a 3D liquid-solid tapered fluidized bed using kinetic theory of rough spheres
The fluidized bed bioreactor is an economical and efficient method for wastewater treatment. In the fluidized bed bioreactor, fluidized particles...

Granular Gas of Inelastic and Rough Maxwell Particles
The most widely used model for granular gases is perhaps the inelastic hard-sphere model (IHSM), where the grains are assumed to be perfectly smooth...

Exact Transport Coefficients from the Inelastic Rough Maxwell Model of a Granular Gas
Granular gases demand models capable of capturing their distinct characteristics. The widely employed inelastic hard-sphere model (IHSM) introduces...

Kinetic Theory of Binary Granular Suspensions at Low Density. Thermal Diffusion Segregation
Transport properties of granular mixtures surrounded by an interstitial gas are determined by solving the Boltzmann kinetic equation by means of the...

Droplet lift-off from hydrophobic surfaces from impact with soft-hydrogel spheres
Droplet impacts on superhydrophobic surfaces may result in complete bouncing, with the absence of contact hysteresis and viscous dissipation leading...

Kinetic Theory of Inelastic Hard Spheres
The present chapter provides a concise introduction to the kinetic theory of granular gases (namely, gases of hard spheres with inelastic collisions)...

Beyond second-moment approximation in fuzzy-field-theory-like matrix models
We investigate the phase structure of a special class of multi-trace hermitian matrix models, which are candidates for the description of scalar...

Physical Impact Theory
This chapter concerns the classical impact theory, although it starts with the Hertz theory of the impact of elastic spheres. We discuss in detail...

Kinetic Model of Softening of Glasses
A liquid-glass transition (vitrification) has been analyzed in terms of the softening of a solid phase through diffusion jumps. It has been shown...

Properties of interaction networks in compressed two and three dimensional particulate systems
We consider two (2D) and three (3D) dimensional granular systems exposed to compression, and ask what is the influence of the number of physical...
