Unlike molecular gases like air, the particles of granular gases (like a cloud of dust) lose at collisions part of their kinetic energy. This is the origin of many exciting physical properties. While the theory of molecular gases belongs to any undergraduate physics course, Kinetic Theory of Granular Gases provides a self-contained introduction to the subject of granular gases at the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate level. It is mainly addressed to students and researchers of physics, astronomy (planetary sciences and cosmic dust) as well as mechanical and chemical engineering.
