Molecular dynamics simulations show that the system goes through three phases. After a rapid initial breakdown of the cluster, the particle stream organizes itself in the form of a shock wave moving down the...<br/>[Phys. Rev.

When diffusive processes are neglected the gas density blows up in a finite time. The blowup is the mathematical expression for one of the possible mechanisms for cluster formation in dissipa...<br/><img src="http://prola.aps.org/graphics/rapid30x30.gif" width="30" height="30" alt="Rapid Communication"/><br/>[Phys.

Malinouskaya, V. V. Mourzenko, J.-F. Thovert, and P. M. Adler<br/>Spiky particles are constructed by superposing spheres and oblate ellipsoids. The resulting star particles (but nonconvex) are randomly packed by a sequential algorithm. The geometry, the conductivity, and the permeability of the resulting packings are systematically studied.
