A granular mechanics model study of the influence of non-spherical shape on aggregate collisions

Abstract Collisions between granular aggregates influence the size distribution of dust clouds. Granular aggregates may possess non-spherical shapes as a result of, for instance, previous collision processes. Here, we study aggregate collisions using a granular mechanics simulation code. Collisions...
