Abstract
The hydrodynamic equations of the Enskog theory for inelastic hard spheres is considered as a model for rapid flow granular fluids at finite densities. A detailed analysis of the shear viscosity of the granular fluid has been done using homogenous cooling state (HCS) and uniform shear flow (USF) models. It is found that shear viscosity is sensitive to the coefficient of restitution α and pair correlation function at contact. The collisional part of the Newtonian shear viscosity is found to be dominant than its kinetic part.
