There is an increasing interest in studying granular matter, including dust, under gravity conditions different from Earth. Besides the traditional fields of astrophysical research such as cosmic dust, planetary rings, formation of planetesimals and others, low-gravity conditions provide suitable test beds to study the physics of granular matter in comparison with theoretical results, given that most of the theory of granular gases was obtained for the force-free case. Beyond these fundamental questions, on the applied side, space missions to Moon, Mars and asteroids require insight in the behavior of granular matter in low-gravity environments.
It is the aim of the meeting to provide an exciting forum to discuss the subject from different perspectives of granular-matter research such that applications benefit from fundamental insights, and applications may stimulate fundamental research.
We hope for an interdisciplinary group of participants and encourage abstract submissions from physics, engineering, space- and planetary science, and other disciplines.
