The nature of the velocity distribution of a driven granular gas, though well studied, is unknown as to whether it is universal or not, and if universal what it is. We determine the tails of the steady state velocity distribution of a driven inelastic Maxwell gas, which is a simple model of a granular gas where the rate of collision between particles is independent of the separation as well as the relative velocity. We show that the steady state velocity distribution is non-universal and depends strongly on the nature of driving. The asymptotic behavior of the velocity distribution are shown to be identical to that of a non-interacting model where the collisions between particles are ignored. For diffusive driving, where collisions with the wall are modelled by an additive noise, the tails of the velocity distribution is universal only if the noise distribution decays faster than exponential.

We consider the steady states of a driven inelastic Maxwell gas consisting of two types of particles with scalar velocities. Motivated by experiments on bilayers where only one layer is driven, we focus on the case when only one of the two types of p
articles are driven externally, with the other species receiving energy only through inter-particle collision. The velocity $v$ of a particle that is driven is modified to $-r_w v+eta$, where $r_w$ parameterises the dissipation upon the driving and the noise $eta$ is taken from a fixed distribution. We characterize the statistics for small velocities by computing exactly the mean energies of the two species, based on the simplifying feature that the correlation functions are seen to form a closed set of equations. The asymptotic behaviour of the velocity distribution for large speeds is determined for both components through a combination of exact analysis for a range of parameters or obtained numerically to a high degree of accuracy from an analysis of the large moments of velocity. We show that the tails of the velocity distribution for both types of particles have similar behaviour, even though they are driven differently. For dissipative driving ($r_w<1$), the tails of the steady state velocity distribution show non-universal features and depend strongly on the noise distribution. On the other hand, the tails of the velocity distribution are exponential for diffusive driving ($r_w=1$) when the noise distribution decays faster than exponential.
This review is a kinetic theory study investigating the effects of inelasticity on the structure of the non-equilibrium states, in particular on the behavior of the velocity distribution in the high energy tails. Starting point is the nonlinear Boltz
mann equation for spatially homogeneous systems, which supposedly describes the behavior of the velocity distribution function in dissipative systems as long as the system remains in the homogeneous cooling state, i.e. on relatively short time scales before the clustering and similar instabilities start to create spatial inhomogeneities. This is done for the two most common models for dissipative systems, i.e. inelastic hard spheres and inelastic Maxwell particles. In systems of Maxwell particles the collision frequency is independent of the relative velocity of the colliding particles, and in hard sphere systems it is linear. We then demonstrate the existence of scaling solutions for the velocity distribution function, $F(v,t) sim v_0(t)^{-d} f((v/v_0(t))$, where $v_0$ is the r.m.s. velocity. The scaling form $f(c)$ shows overpopulation in the high energy tails. In the case of freely cooling systems the tails are of algebraic form, $ f(c)sim c^{-d-a}$, where the exponent $a$ may or may not depend on the degree of inelasticity, and in the case of forced systems the tails are of stretched Gaussian type $f(v)simexp[-beta (v/v_0)^b]$ with $b <2$.
Through an exact analysis, we show the existence of Mpemba effect in an anisotropically driven inelastic Maxwell gas, a simplified model for granular gases, in two dimensions. Mpemba effect refers to the couterintuitive phenomenon of a hotter system
relaxing to the steady state faster than a cooler system, when both are quenched to the same lower temperature. The Mpemba effect has been illustrated in earlier studies on isotropically driven granular gases, but its existence requires non-stationary initial states, limiting experimental realisation. In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of the Mpemba effect in anisotropically driven granular gases even when the initial states are non-equilibrium steady states. The precise conditions for the Mpemba effect, its inverse, and the stronger version, where the hotter system cools exponentially faster are derived.
The exact nonequilibrium steady state solution of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation for a driven inelastic Maxwell model was obtained by Ben-Naim and Krapivsky [Phys. Rev. E 61, R5 (2000)] in the form of an infinite product for the Fourier transform o
f the distribution function $f(c)$. In this paper we have inverted the Fourier transform to express $f(c)$ in the form of an infinite series of exponentially decaying terms. The dominant high energy tail is exponential, $f(c)simeq A_0exp(-a|c|)$, where $aequiv 2/sqrt{1-alpha^2}$ and the amplitude $A_0$ is given in terms of a converging sum. This is explicitly shown in the totally inelastic limit ($alphato 0$) and in the quasi-elastic limit ($alphato 1$). In the latter case, the distribution is dominated by a Maxwellian for a very wide range of velocities, but a crossover from a Maxwellian to an exponential high energy tail exists for velocities $|c-c_0|sim 1/sqrt{q}$ around a crossover velocity $c_0simeq ln q^{-1}/sqrt{q}$, where $qequiv (1-alpha)/2ll 1$. In this crossover region the distribution function is extremely small, $ln f(c_0)simeq q^{-1}ln q$.
The granular gas is a paradigm for understanding the effects of inelastic interactions in granular materials. Kinetic theory provides a general theoretical framework for describing the granular gas. Its central result is that the tail of the velocity
distribution of a driven granular gas is a stretched exponential that, counterintuitively, decays slower than that of the corresponding elastic gas in equilibrium. However, a derivation of this result starting from a microscopic model is lacking. Here, we obtain analytical results for a microscopic model for a granular gas where particles with two-dimensional velocities are driven homogeneously and isotropically by reducing the velocities by a factor and adding a stochastic noise. We find two universal regimes. For generic physically relevant driving, we find that the tail of the velocity distribution is a Gaussian with additional logarithmic corrections. Thus, the velocity distribution decays faster than the corresponding equilibrium gas. The second universal regime is less generic and corresponds to the scenario described by kinetic theory. Here, the velocity distribution is shown to decay as an exponential with additional logarithmic corrections, in contradiction to the predictions of the phenomenological kinetic theory, necessitating a re-examination of its basic assumptions.
