Abstract: | A single classical isoergic particle was placed in a cube and allowed to propagate for 100 ns to 10 ms. The interaction of
the particle with the inner wall of the cube was modeled as a linear combination of specular and random reflection, the extent
of the combination being governed by a user-defined “roughness” parameter α. As a function of α, the particle’s relative pressure
and density spontaneously took on an inhomogenous distribution. |
