Computational Simulator for Demonstrating the Properties of a 2D Ideal Gas

This paper presents a computational simulator to demonstrate properties of a two-dimensional ideal gas from the equation of state for 2D case, allowing to view the obtaining of macroscopic quantities from the microscopic perspective of collisions according to Newton’s law. An equivalence between 2D and 3D approaches are available, as well as the Maxwell-Boltzmann velocities distribution modified for 2D. The paper describes some operational aspects in Javascript/HTML, the measure units for 2D case and a further analysis of collisions behavior with the recipient 2D borders, showing that the number of collisions with the borders isn’t a constant along the simulation.
