SpaceLab, an N-Body Particle-Particle Ballistic Collision Simulation Tool with Applications in Celestial Body Dynamics

Creator:

Guidos, Job

Abstract:

This thesis conveys the key technical features and scientific applications of a particle-particle ballistic simulation tool (SpaceLab) as well as a high level overview of experiments it was designed for and executed on. SpaceLab simulates spherical particle interactions under any combination of self-gravity, sliding friction, rolling friction, Van-Der-Waals (VDW) cohesion...
