Molecular Dynamics Performance JS Model
written by Wolfgang Christian and Francisco Esquembre
The Molecular Dynamics Performance JavaScript Model computes the trajectory of particles acted on by a Lennard-Jones force.  This simulation was designed to test the speed of JavaScript for a computationally intensive model.  The user can vary the number of particles, the number of frames per second displayed on the computer monitor, and the requested number of Verlet steps between frames.  The actual number of Verlet steps per frame is shown.  This number will be less than the requested number of steps on slow processors.

The Molecular Dynamics Performance  JS Model was developed using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) version 5.  It is distributed as a ready-to-run html page and requires only a browser with JavaScript support.

Molecular Dynamics Performance JS Model:

Is the Basis For EJSS three state of matter model

Changes Made:


added color to represent BLUE and RED as low to high temperature.
added temperature reading
added scaffold to the state of the system of particles model  
this model assumes T < 200 K as solid,  200373 K as gas.
