The Confined Lennard-Jones System is an idealized statistical mechanics model that simulates a two-dimensional system of particles confined to a box with a constant temperature thermal reservoir at one end and a movable piston at the other. Particles in this model have unit mass and interact through pairwise Lennard-Jones forces and hard-wall contact forces. Slow-moving particles are color-coded as blue and fast particles are color-coded as yellow. The model computes and plots the evolution of the total energy E, the kinetic energy per particle K, the pressure P, and the volume V.  The model also displays histograms and mean values of these quantities.  

The Confined Lennard-Jones System 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_stp_md_ConfinedLennardJonesSystem.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.
