摘要
The Boltzmann kinetic theory is used to analyze the effect of energy nonequipartition on the pressure and the shear viscosity of a granular binary mixture under simple shear flow. Theory and Monte Carlo simulations show that both quantities exhibit a non-monotonic behaviour with the mass ratio in contrast to the predictions made from previous theories based on the equipartition assumption. Our results agree qualitatively well with recent molecular dynamics simulations performed by Alam and Luding [Granular Matter 4, 139 (2002)].
