Abstract: The construction of kinetic models for a practical description of hard sphere dynamics in fluid, amorphous solid, and crystal phases is outlined. The models are constructed to apply for both elastic and dissipative collisions. As an illustration, the Navier-Stokes hydrodynamics and transport coefficients are calculated for rapid flow granular media.
