Thermodynamics


Available energy is the main object at stake in the struggle for existence and the evolution of the world. — Ludwig Boltzmann


Boltzmann gas & a two-dimensional Ising spin model


Hard sphere gas
A simulation that shows how the average velocity distribution approaches the theoretically obtained curve.
Ising spin model

A two-dimensional Ising spin model showing the magnetization as function of the temperature.

3D Brownian motion & gas of CO molecules


Brownian motion
This random motion was first described by the Scottish botanist Robert Brown, who observed these motions while looking at pollen through his microscope.
Carbon monoxide gas
Carbon monoxide gas — this simulation shows that every degree of freedom of every particle has the same expectation value of energy.
