I'm looking to do a little flash animation illustrating evaporation at a surface however I've been having a lot of trouble implementing this.
My initial Lennard-Jones approach was a disaster. I then tried hard-spheres and this wasn't really any better. I've considered something like a hard spheres model with some sort of attractive potential drawing particles to the surface, something like 1/(y_surface-y_particle)^n which would sort of simulate the coulomb or dipole force from all the atoms within the liquid. However, it all just ends up being chaos. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what a simple model might be that will illustrate the largest velocity particles in a liquid leaving the surface? Thanks in advance
