Hard Sphere Gas Model
written by Wolfgang Christian
The Ejs Hard Sphere Gas model displays a three-dimensional (ideal) gas made out of hard disks.  Particles are initialized with a random speed and in a random direction and move with constant velocity until a collision occurs.  You can modify this simulation if you have Ejs installed by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.  

Ejs Hard Sphere Gas model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (Ejs) modeling tool.  It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive.  Double clicking the ejs_newton_HardShpereGas.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.  Ejs is a part of the Open Source Physics Project and is designed to make it easier to access, modify, and generate computer models.  Additional Ejs models for statistical mechanics are available.  They can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or Ejs.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java (JRE).
