Dynamics and Stability of Shock Waves in Granular Gases Undergoing Activated Inelastic Collisions

The present work investigates the dynamics and stability of shock waves in granular gases. The problem was modelled for a piston propagating into a system of disks that can undergo inelastic collisions if an impact threshold is exceeded. The model was addressed numerically at the microscopic and mac...
