Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations of the inelastic hard sphere model for granular media have been doneto study the heat conduction between two parallel plates. The results show that Fourier’s law is not validand a new term proportional to the density gradient must be added to compute the heat flux. The newtransport coefficient associated with the density gradient dependence has been measured vanishing in thecase of elastic collisions.
