Abstract

A hydrodynamic description of dilute binary gas mixtures comprising smooth inelastic spheres interacting by binary collisions with a random coefficient of restitution is presented. Constitutive relations are derived using the Chapman–Enskog perturbative method, associated with a computer-aided method to allow high-order Sonine polynomial expansions. The transport coefficients obtained are checked against DSMC simulations. The resulting equations are applied to the analysis of a vertically vibrated system. It is shown that differences in the shape of the distributions of the coefficient of restitution are sufficient to produce partial segregation.
