Abstract:
We propose two thermodynamically consistent inertial spin models generalizing the inertial spin model for the ensemble of mechanical particles with spin. For the collective dynamics modeling consistent with an entropy principle, we use two modeling ideas based on Hamiltonian formulation and flocking formalism for the coupling of the inertial spin model and temperatures introduced by Ha and Ruggeri [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 223, 1397 (2017)]. The resulting models admit several constants of motions and are consistent with the entropy principle. We present several sufficient frameworks leading to the asymptotic vanishing of spins and velocity alignment. We also implement several numerical simulations and compare them with analytical results.
