MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATOR

This project presents a Molecular Dynamics Simulator built from scratch in Python to model the motion and interaction of particles within a confined box. It leverages NumPy for efficient numerical computations and Matplotlib, PyGame for visualization. The simulator incorporates spring-based pairwise forces, wall reflections, and both basic and energy-conserving integration schemes to update particle positions and velocities over time. Through comparisons of different integration methods and simulation scales, it demonstrates key physical principles such as Newton’s laws, energy conservation, and emergent collective behavior in dynamic systems. Additionally, the simulator includes special functions to handle cases such as inelastic collisions, periodic boundaries, and more, exploring a variety of physical scenarios and system behaviors.
