Visualizing the beauty in physics and mathematics
You are looking at a simulation of the adiabatic expansion of a gas. Note that the initial normal distribution of the components of the particle velocities does eventually yield a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of velocities in 3D, see for example this form post.
🔧 adiabatic_expansion.js is made with Three.js
⭐ Based on this code on Trinket
👉 Also available as adiabatic_expansion.py
