Weakly nonlinear analysis of two dimensional sheared granular flow (1103.1936v2)
Published 10 Mar 2011 in cond-mat.soft
Abstract: Weakly nonlinear analysis of a two dimensional sheared granular flow is carried out under the Lees-Edwards boundary condition. We derive the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation of a disturbance amplitude starting from a set of granular hydrodynamic equations and discuss the bifurcation of the steady amplitude in the hydrodynamic limit.
