Abstract

Rapid granular flows of two species with different material densities are examined via three-dimensional, hard-sphere simulations of simple shear flow. Simulation results are compared with existing theories for binary systems based on the kinetic theory analogy. The comparison between simulation data and theoretical predictions indicate that although non-equipartition is observed and well-predicted by the theory which accounts for its effects, the influence of non-equipartition on stress predictions is fairly small. The influence of non-Maxwellian effects, however, are critical for accurate stress predictions.
