Violation of the Einstein relation in Granular Fluids: the role of correlations

, , and . J. Stat. Mech., (August 2007)

Abstract

We study the linear response in different models of driven granular gases. In some situations, even if the velocity statistics can be strongly non-Gaussian, we do not observe appreciable violations of the Einstein formula for diffusion versus mobility. The situation changes when strong correlations between velocities and density are present: in this case, although a form of fluctuation-dissipation relation holds, the differential velocity response of a particle and its velocity self-correlation are no longer proportional. This happens at high densities and strong inelasticities, but still in the fluid-like (and ergodic) regime.
