A finite volume method for computer simulations of fluids obeying the equation of Bhatnagar, Gross, and Krook (BGK) for ideal fluids is described. The theory is extended to deal with non-ideal fluids. An approach for modeling a van der Waal's fluid is developed and the results o…

Binary granular mixtures are frequently used in manufacturing, geotechnical engineering, and construction. Applications for these materials include dams, roads, and railway embankments. The mixing process requires dealing with particles with varying sizes and properties, and the…
