Riod - Gravitational Simulation Output - 2008
This "movie" is my attempt at animating the output of my gravitational simulation. Please note that my simulation is an extremely simplistic implementation of Newtonian physics. This particular simulation starts with many hundred objects in a "Dole pineapple" shape, with given rotational velocities based on the total mass and assumptions of elliptical orbit around an equivalent central mass.
This particular simulation begins with a high mass density, and low relative kinetic energy and angular momentum. As a result, the gravitational attraction tends to pull all the mass together. As the system collapses, much material is ejected from the system. Objects that get too close are allowed to have an inelastic collision and thus small objects can become larger ones. The differing colors of objects are related to their total mass.
Note that the video is nearly impossible to view unless one makes it full screen by clicking the icon in the lower right hand corner.
