While real granular particles like sand, gravel, pills, cereals or coffee beans come in all sorts of shapes and are usually quite irregular, as a theoretician I exclusively use spherical (or disk shaped) particles.

+ | ===== Granular Rheology ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Developing constitutive equations for granular fluids is quite challenging. Many attempts have been made starting with the granular Boltzmann equation or similar approaches from the realm of rarefied gases. Unfortunately, | ||

+ | ===== Trail-Mediated Microbial Interaction ===== | ||

+ | A number of micro-organisms leave sticky trails while moving around on surfaces. In turn they react to the presence of trails, effectively using them as a means to communicate((Zhao //et al.// [[http:// | ||

+ | ===== Fluidized Beds ===== | ||

+ | For the development of new measurement techniques for granular fluids it is useful to have efficient and faithful simulation tools. We are exploring the capabilities of a novel hybrid event-driven code((Fiege & Zippelius [[https:// | ||
