DESCRIPTION
A four-minute computer animation of two 256-atom argon droplets colliding.
There are three sequences in the animation: droplets colliding at low speed
(droplets coalesce); droplets colliding at high speed (droplets disperse);
and, droplets evaporating.
VISUALIZATION CREDITS
Programming and Animation: Ray Masters
Software: IBM Data Explorer, Custom Fortran Data Translator
Hardware: IBM RS6000 Model 560
The animation was initially shown at the
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
1995 Conference,
January, 1995, Reno, Nevada, in conjunction with
Paper number AIAA-95-0412.<,/p>
