This page contains links to some Java applets that show aspects of the kinetic description of a two-dimensional ideal gas.
A Java applet for a two-dimensional hard-sphere "ideal gas." Only allows change of density. Shows speed distribution.
A Java applet for a two-dimensional ideal gas. Allows you to change particle number, average volume, pressure, and particle velocity.
A Java applet for a two-dimensional ideal gas. Allows you to change particle number, volume, and temperature.
A Java applet for a two-dimensional ideal gas. Allows you to study isothermal and adiabatic expansion and compression, heating and cooling at constant pressure, etc. From looking at the motion of the particles in the simulations, this does not seem to be a true ideal gas. The existence of particle collisions and occasional bound states makes me think it is a Lennard-Jones gas. I am not sure what units are used for P, V, and T. Try to find out!
