Energy non-equipartition in vibrofluidized particles
Abstract
The aim of the present work is to investigate the influence of the realistic model parameters on the equipartition of energy in a vibrofluidized system. To achieve this, a three-dimensional vertically vibrated granular system consisting of spherical particles is simulated using the discrete element method (DEM) using the open-source software LAMMPS. Interparticle and wall-particle interactions are determined using the linear-spring dashpot model. Simulations are performed for nearly perfectly smooth to nearly perfectly rough particles. Two different values for the ratio of the tangential to normal spring stiffness coefficient kappa (2/7 and 3/4) are chosen. Non-equipartition of energy between the translational and rotational modes is observed for all realistic values in the parametric range.
