Prototype2009: Energy Distribution
From The EvoGrid: The Evolution Technology Grid
This is the maths used to derive the velocity of generated particles in generator/molecule . The base maths are taken from evogrid-analysis/temperature, which is taken from gmxdump.
ekin = ((vel.x * vel.x * mass ) / 2) + ((vel.y * vel.y * mass ) / 2) + ((vel.z * vel.z * mass ) / 2)
temp = (2 * ekin) / ( 3 * BOLTZ ) // 3 * due to 3 axis
2 * ekin = temp * 3 * BOLTZ
ekin = ( temp * 3 * BOLTZ ) / 2
((vel.x * vel.x * mass ) / 2) + ((vel.y * vel.y * mass ) / 2) + ((vel.z * vel.z * mass ) / 2) = ( temp * 3 * BOLTZ ) / 2
(vel.x * vel.x * mass ) + (vel.y * vel.y * mass ) + (vel.z * vel.z * mass ) = ( temp * 3 * BOLTZ )
mass * ( (vel.x * vel.x ) + (vel.y * vel.y ) + (vel.z + vel.z) ) = temp * 3 * BOLTZ
(vel.x * vel.x ) + (vel.y * vel.y ) + (vel.z + vel.z) = (temp * 3 * BOLTZ / mass)
To get a single component, we'll consider as if we've divided both sides by three. We'll use a Maxwell-Boltzman distribution to make this randomly distributed over all three axis
vel.x * vel.x = (DIST * temp * BOLTZ ) / mass
vel.x = sqrt( ( DIST * temp * BOLTZ ) / mass )
