We probe, using a model system, elastic and kinetic energies for sheared granular materials. For large enough P/Ey (pressure/Young's modulus) and P/ρv2 (P/kinetic energy density) elastic dominates kinetic energy, and energy fluctuations become primarily elastic in nature. This regime has likely been reached in recent experiments. We consider a generalization of the granular temperature, Tg, with both kinetic and elastic terms and that changes smoothly from one regime to the other. This Tg is roughly consistent with a temperature adapted from equilibrium statistical mechanics.

The average kinetic energy is widely used to characterize temperature in molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. In this letter, the applicability of three types of average kinetic energy as measures of temperature is investigated, i.e., the total kinetic energy, kinetic energy without the centroid translation part, and thermal disturbance kinetic energy. Our MD simulations indicate that definitions of temperature based on the kinetic energy including rigid translational or rotational motion may yield unrealistic results. In contrast, the thermal disturbance kinetic energy has wider applicability to temperature computation in non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. If small samples need to be used for local temperature, then a calibration approach is proposed to eliminate the sample-size dependence of the average disturbance kinetic energy.

Abstract The general form of this function is clear from a consideration of some simple observations on the condensation of gases and on the compressibility of solids. Since cooling a gas reduces the kinetic energy of its atoms, this means that when they are far apart the atoms attract one another. At high temperatures the attractive forces are not strong enough to overcome the kinetic energy, but as the temperature is lowered the kinetic energy decreases, the attractive forces take over, and condensation occurs. But at very large distances from each other, the attractive forces must be small. Thus, we infer an attractive force between atoms that increases in strength as the atoms come closer together.

Tsai and MacDonald (1973, 1978) published a critical analysis of the authors' molecular dynamic simulation of shockwave propagation. Most of their criticism was directed to the authors' definition of temperature and kinetic energy. It is shown that their analysis is incorrect and that the authors' calculation of kinetic energy is correct and the definition of temperature is reasonable. Most of the misunderstanding arose from the other not understanding that all the authors' calculations were performed in a stationary frame of reference. It is further shown that, when there is a variation in the planar velocity, the Tsai-MacDonald local kinetic temperature is neither equal to the local kinetic energy (expressed as temperature) nor does it have the characteristics of temperature.

The kinetic theory of rarefied gases is used to show that there is a difference between the kinetic temperature and the thermodynamic one. The former represents the mean kinetic energy of the molecules while the latter is the one measured by a contact thermometer. The argument is based upon a recent paper [1] by Müller and Ruggeri.

Before entering the subject of magnetohydrodynamic dissipation we comment briefly on the question of the supply of kinetic energy to the interstellar gas. This topic has been considered in the 1953 Symposium by Schlüter and myself, and also by Oort. As had been pointed out already by Spitzer in Paris, 1949, the visible HII regions, owing to their excess pressure as compared with the HI regions and the dilute HII regions, must be assumed to expand with a velocity of the order of 10 or 20 km/sec. By this expansion part of the radiation energy of the star is converted into kinetic energy. It was estimated (p. 153 of the proceedings) that a typical HII region around a BO star feeds 10 35 ergs/sec to the instellar gas, and that the number of these regions is such, that each region has to provide kinetic energy on the average to 10 36 −10 37 g of interstellar material. Thus a value of 10 −2 −10 −1 erg g −1 sec −1 was found (which corresponds to 10 −26 −10 −25 erg cm −3 sec −1 , assuming 10 −24 g/cm 3 for the mean density of the interstellar material in the disk).
