Computer Modelling of Processes of Synergetics. «Living» Structures
Abstract
A model demonstrating the properties of self-organizing systems and based on two-dimensional motion of interacting particles is proposed. The pairwise interaction between particles is described by the Lenard-Jones potential. The dissipativity property which is necessary for self-organization is provided by the introduction of velocitydependent forces arising in the collision of particles. The influence of the external environment is described by the gradual weakening ("aging") of the bonds between the particles, when they are combined into structures. The results of numerical calculations illustrate all the features of systems capable of self-organization: the formation of structures from the initial chaotic state and subsequent evolution with the constant decay of existing structures and the formation of new structures. Such properties are typical, for example, for the structures of living matter.
