Elliptic Particles
Simulations (Nr. 1
and Nr. 2)of
elliptic particles without gravity without damping (energy loss in
normal contact direction) and without Coulomb friction (energy loss and
constraint of motion in tangential contact direction). The blue marker
particle on the right shows the individual motion of a single particle
more clearly.
Simulation of elliptic particles without gravity, damping and
without Columb friction with periodic
boundary conditions.
Simulation of elliptic particles under
gravity with damping but without Coulomb Friction. In the absence
of Coulomb friction, the particle aggregate shows clear oscillations of
the center of mass. With Coulomb friction, the oscillations are suppressed,
the system reaches the final state at once.
Simulation of a binary
mixture of round and elliptic particles without gravity and damping.
The
same system,but this time the neighborhood-relations are emphasized
using connecting lines between the particles.
