Describtion

This page is an extension of the page Heat transfer in a 1D harmonic crystal. The program below allows two possibilities to set the initial temperature:

• random: the initial particle velocities are set by a random number generator;
• periodic: the initial particle velocities are set as a short-period sinusoidal wave.
