The common way of modeling granular gases is to consider them as a collection of hard spheres whose collisions are characterized by a fixed coefficient of restitution.However,even for virtually perfect spheres like ball bearing,significant scatter is observed in experimental measurements of the coefficient of restitution,that can be associated with microscopic surface asperities.A natural way of taking this scatter into account theoretically is to consider a randomly fluctuating coefficient of restitution.
