Collision-Time List and Partner list Initializing CT list - COLTIM(N): From the initial condition, Calculate for each particle its collision time with all the other particles. Find out the minimum of the collision times of particle I and put the minimum collision time into COLTIM(I) (if particle I will not collide with any other particle, put a very large value, e.g., TIMBIG, into COLTIM(I)). Repeat this for all the particles. Partner list - PARTNR(N): PARTNR(I) contains the identity (number of the particle) of the collision partner of particle I

Calculate the velocity change of the colliding pair Dynamics of elastic collision: vi lafter collision) vi(before collision) Energy conservation requires vi(after collision)=vi (before collision) Since the momentum change takes place along j and no momentum change in the direction perpendicular to ri, the collision is specular with respect to r: This leads to vi(after )=vi (before)+ 8v vi(after)=vi (before)+ &v 8v=[-(bi/orilo 1]collision
Calculate the velocity change of the colliding pair Dynamics of elastic collision: i j rij vij(before collision) vij(after collision) Energy conservation requires: |vij(after collision)| = |vij(before collision)| Since the momentum change takes place along rij and no momentum change in the direction perpendicular to rij, the collision is specular with respect to rij. This leads to vi (after) = vi (before) + dv vi (after) = vi (before) + dv dv = [-(bij/s 2 ) rij]collision
