An atomistic study of sticking, bouncing, and aggregate destruction in collisions of grains with small aggregates
Abstract Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study central collisions between spherical grains and between grains and small grain aggregates (up to 5 grains). For a model material (Lennard-Jones), grain–grain collisions are sticking when the relative velocity v is smaller than the so-called b...
