Cluster Growth in two- and three-dimensional Granular Gases
arXiv:cond-mat/0304637 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.69.031305
Abstract
Dissipation in granular media leads to interesting phenomena as there are cluster formation and crystallization in non-equilibrium dynamical states. The freely cooling system is examined concerning the energy decay and the cluster evolution in time, both in two and three dimensions. Interesting parallels to percolation theory are obtained in three dimensions.
