Granular matter

Abstract

This is an introductory course into some aspects of the physics of granular materials. Three theoretical questions are looked into more detail corresponding to the 3h of the course: I present some statistical models to describe the shape of a heap under impact and present a way to calculate the angle of repose from the first principle. The second part contains the theoretical framework of a hydrodynamic description of fluid sand and the calculation of transport properties using kinetic gas theory. Cooling and clustering are given as example and counter-example. The last part focusses on packings and in particular on lattice models for compaction dynamics.
