Boundary effects in a quasi-two-dimensional driven granular fluid

The effect of a confining boundary on the spatial variations in granular temperature of a driven quasi-2d layer of particles is investigated experimentally. The radial drop in the relative granular temperature ΔT/T, exhibits a maximum at intermediate particle numbers which coincides with a crossover...
