The free evolution of a two component or binary granular gas (in dimensions d = 2, 3) is studied using large-scale molecular dynamics simulation. To prepare a binary granular gas, we consider half the particles to be of a different mass. The time dependence of temperature of the system as well as the components is studied. The results are compared with the free cooling of a single component granular gas. The results are found to be at variance with Haff's law that single component granular gases obey in the homogeneous cooling state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
