Dive into the world of molecular dynamics with "Just for Kicks." This simulation visualizes the behavior of particles in a jet engine using the Lennard-Jones potential. Starting from defined initial positions, particles adjust to minimize potential energy through numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) utilizing the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The model incorporates parameters like initial temperature, velocity, and lattice spacing, offering insights into action/reaction interactions and the dynamics of energy propagation in a constrained system.
