Integration Strategy
Choose a time interval, Dt; do the following to advance the system across this interval, bringing the system to time tn+1= tn +Dt
- Loop over all pairs ij, computing collision time tij
- Identify minimum tijmin as next colliding pair
- If tijmin < tn+1, advance all spheres to positions at tijmin
- Perform collision dynamics on colliding pair
- Identify next colliding pair, repeat until tijmin < tn+1, then advance to tn+1.
- Accumulate averages, repeat for next time interval
