The widely employed inelastic hard-sphere model (IHSM) introduces complexities that are compounded when incorporating realistic features like surface roughness and rotational degrees of freedom, resulting in the more intricate inelastic rough hard-sphere model (IRHSM). This paper focuses on the inelastic rough Maxwell model (IRMM), presenting a more tractable alternative to the IRHSM and enabling exact solutions. Building on the foundation of the inelastic Maxwell model (IMM) applied to granular gases, the IRMM extends the mathematical representation to encompass surface roughness and rotational degrees of freedom. The primary objective is to provide exact expressions for the Navier–Stokes–Fourier transport coefficients within the IRMM, including the shear and bulk viscosities, the thermal and diffusive heat conductivities, and the cooling-rate transport coefficient. In contrast to earlier approximations in the IRHSM, our study unveils inherent couplings, such as shear viscosity to spin viscosity and heat conductivities to counterparts associated with a torque-vorticity vector. These exact findings provide valuable insights into refining the Sonine approximation applied to the IRHSM, contributing to a deeper understanding of the transport properties in granular gases with realistic features.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10955-024-03269-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140811434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce the concept of connected infinite graphs with a central vertex group and then derive sufficient conditions for the CS model to produce flocking behavior. For standard interaction, we find that the CS model will exhibit flocking behavior exponentially when the connected infinite graph is equipped with a central vertex group. However, for cut-off interaction, we need the time-varying graph induced by interparticle distance to have a fixed central vertex group and the coupling strength to be above a certain threshold to produce the flocking behavior. Our theoretical analysis shows that if a connected infinite graph has a central vertex group, the second eigenvalue of the corresponding Laplacian is positive, which is crucial for the proof of flocking behavior. The consistent convergence towards flocking may well reveal the advantages and necessities of having a central vertex group in an infinite-particle complex system with sufficient intelligence.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140586210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
