A Sinai-Billiard Model for Wet Granular Matter — •Franziska Glaßmeier, Jürgen Vollmer, and Martin Brinkmann — Dept. Dynamics of Complex Fluids, MPI for Dynamics & Self-Organization, 37073 Göttingen, Germany

We generalize the collision rules of the Sinai billiard to mimic collisions of two wet disks in a system with periodic boundary conditions. Within this framework we discuss the phase-space structure of invariant measures, and the entropy production involved in free cooling. Our results are compared to numerical data for the free cooling of large assemblies of wet disks.
