  2. PhET Interactive Simulations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhET_Interactive_Simulations

    PhET Interactive Simulations is part of the University of Colorado Boulder which is a member of the Association of American Universities. [10] The team changes over time and has about 16 members consisting of professors, post-doctoral students, researchers, education specialists, software engineers (sometimes contractors), educators, and administrative assistants. [11]

  3. Collision response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_response

    The degree of relative kinetic energy retained after a collision, termed the restitution, is dependent on the elasticity of the bodies‟ materials.The coefficient of restitution between two given materials is modeled as the ratio [] of the relative post-collision speed of a point of contact along the contact normal, with respect to the relative pre-collision speed of the same point along the ...

  4. Collision detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_detection

    Collision detection utilizes time coherence to allow even finer time steps without much increasing CPU demand, such as in air traffic control. After an inelastic collision, special states of sliding and resting can occur and, for example, the Open Dynamics Engine uses constraints to simulate them. Constraints avoid inertia and thus instability.

  5. Lattice Boltzmann methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_Boltzmann_methods

    Schematic of D2Q9 lattice vectors for 2D Lattice Boltzmann. Unlike CFD methods that solve the conservation equations of macroscopic properties (i.e., mass, momentum, and energy) numerically, LBM models the fluid consisting of fictive particles, and such particles perform consecutive propagation and collision processes over a discrete lattice.

  6. Collision theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_theory

    Collision theory was proposed independently by Max Trautz in 1916 [1] and William Lewis in 1918. [2] [3] When a catalyst is involved in the collision between the reactant molecules, less energy is required for the chemical change to take place, and hence more collisions have sufficient energy for the reaction to occur.

  7. Available energy (particle collision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Available_energy_(particle...

    In particle physics, the available energy is the energy in a particle collision available to produce new particles from the energy of the colliding particles. [1] [2]In early accelerators both colliding particles usually survived after the collision, so the available energy was the total kinetic energy of the colliding particles in the center-of-momentum frame before the collision.

  8. Collider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collider

    A collider is a type of particle accelerator that brings two opposing particle beams together such that the particles collide. [1] Compared to other particle accelerators in which the moving particles collide with a stationary matter target, colliders can achieve higher collision energies.

  9. Collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision

    This is the line along which internal force of collision acts during impact, and Newton's coefficient of restitution is defined only along this line. Collisions in ideal gases approach perfectly elastic collisions, as do scattering interactions of sub-atomic particles which are deflected by the electromagnetic force. Some large-scale ...
