Diffusion Model through Conservation Momentum and Energy
Faculty Commons material developed by Vashti Sawtelle - Published October 5, 2018
This is a sequence of activities that build up a simulation of diffusion in VPython from basic principles of elastic collisions. The sequence begins with students modeling two particles colliding, moves to confining many particles in a box, and ends with an activity designed to simulate proteins diffusing in water.
