The models

Let us describe the 2D Inclined Plane Model (IPM) and the 2D Inclined Channel Model (ICM). These are two bi-dimensional models that mimic the behavior of a dilute granular gas in the presence of a gravity field, with different boundary conditions. We present the equations of the model and discuss the approximation used.
