Abstract

In a Maxwell’s demon experiment on a dilute granular gas made up of two species of particles placed in two closely connected containers, a cyclic oscillation similar to the chemical oscillations is recognized that the two species of particles cluster alternately in the two containers. Then the nonlinear behavior is qualitatively explained based on a flux model.
