Description
Interactive simulation of an ideal gas in a cubic container. Adjust temperature, volume, number of particles, and atomic mass; track the pressure and the velocity distribution.
Physical model
The model follows the kinetic theory of gases: pressure results from elastic collisions of the particles with the container walls, and the observed velocity distribution approaches the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution as the number of particles increases.
