- Velocity Distribution Without Mutual Collisions
- _____________________________________________________
-
- The particles start from the center of the container in
- different directions with the same speed. However, they
- are allowed to collide only against the walls, the mutual
- collisions are switched off. The walls are adiabatic in this
- experiment which means that the collisions are elastic. The
- container is quickly filled up by the particles. The
- on-line diagram shows the time averaged velocity distribution
- function. This time the velocity distribution is kept in its
- initial, non equilibrium form.

- Control keys:
-
- <F2> : switch ON/OFF tracing of a randomly sel}cted particle
- This shows you the path of that particle.
- <F4> : switch ON/OFF shot noise
- The shot noise is a clack in every wall-particle collision.
- <F5> : switch ON/OFF mutual collisions of the particles
- <Del>: reset the time averaged velocity distribution
- <P> : temporarily suspend the simulation, resume it by pressing
- any key
- <Esc>: stop the simulation
