Abstract
In this paper we continue the analysis of compressible Euler equations for inelastic granular gases described by a granular equation of state due to Goldshtein and Shapiro [Goldshtein A, Shapiro M. Mechanics of collisional motion of granular materials. Part 1: General hydrodynamic equations. J Fluid Mech 1995;282:75–114], and an energy loss term accounting for inelastic collisions. We study the hydrodynamics of blast waves in granular gases by means of a fifth-order accurate scheme that resolves the evolution under different restitution coefficients. We have observed and analyzed the formation of a cluster region near the contact wave using the one-dimensional and two-dimensional versions of our code.
