Wet granular matter is a useful system for studing the dynamics which emerge in systems far from thermal equilibrium. It is easily accessible by experiments as well as simulations. With the help of time- as well as event-driven molecular dynamics simulations, wet granular matter was studied in this thesis. The energy injection which is necessary to drive the system out of thermal equilibrium was done by two highly different sinusoidal driving mechanisms. The first one was sinusoidal shaking whilst the second one was sinusoidal shearing. The interaction with the liquid in the system was modeled by the minimal capillary model and the thin-thread model, respectively. They account for the dissipation of energy such that the system can reach a steady state ...
