- Two Peaked Velocity Distribution
- ____________________________________
-
-
- 150 green particles start from the upper left corner of the
- container, and 90 red ones start from the opposite corner. The mass
- of the red ones is 36 times greater than that of the green ones. The
- on-line diagram shows the time averaged velocity distribution
- function. The system evolves toward thermal equilibrium i.e. the
- average energy for both types of particles will approach a common
- equilibrium value. Since the the mass of the red ones is greater
- than that of the greens, one arrives at a two peaked velocity
- distribution function.

- Control keys:
-
- <F2> : switch ON/OFF tracing of a randomly selected GREEN particle
- <F3> : switch ON/OFF tracing of a randomly selected RED particle
- <F4> : switch ON/OFF shot noise
- <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
