Energy flux into a fluidized granular medium at a vibrating wall
We study the power input of a vibrating wall into a fluidized granular medium, using event-driven simulations of a model granular system. The system consists of inelastic hard disks contained between a stationary and a vibrating elastic wall, in the absence of gravity. Two scaling relations for the power input …
