Research title: Satistical Properties of a Randomly Excited Granular Fluid.
Research interest: When dissipative particles are excited by a random force the velocity statistics are far form those predicted by the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. The research performs one and two dimensional molecular dynamic simulations for a variety of dissipation extents. These systems exhibit spatial inhomogeneities which manifest in the statistical behaviour of both particle position and velocity.
