Abstract

Dissipation in granular media leads to interesting phenomena as there are cluster formation and crystallization in non-equilibrium dynamical states. The freely cooling system is examined concerning the energy decay and the cluster evolution with time Finally, an example is given for a possible micro-macro transition with respect to the flow variables density, velocity, and fluctuation kinetic energy.
