The 2D Inclined Plane Model

We have performed [15] Direct Simulation Monte Carlo for the 2D Inclined Plane Model (IPM). Here we report the measurements of the density, temperature and velocity profiles for different choices of the boundary conditions (different forms of the vibration of the bottom and inclination of the plane). In particular we have analysed the density correlations (clustering) and the distribution of velocities, observing interesting scaling features.
