Transcript kick - Militzer

Just for Kicks: a Molecular Dynamics Simulation by Dino B.
Use the force from the
Lennard-Jones potential
Begin from some
initial positions
Particle positions adjust to
minimize potential energy
ODE solved numerically with fourth order Runge-Kutta method
Radioactive decay
Action/Reaction
Interaction
Propagation
Jet engine
Flow pushed backwards
Engine pushed forwards
Parameters:

Lattice spacing = 0.9
Epsilon = 1
Sigma = 2-1/6
Initial temperature = 1
Initial velocity = ~5
Kick velocity = +75
Time step = 0.001
