Animation 1
3D view of a chain of 512 rotors, forming the Angular-Momentum-Conserving XY Model. Animation of the numerically-calculated dynamics (using the DPD algorithm) for a uniform steady state at T=0.1, mu=0.5, shear-rate=0.001953125.
Animation 2
A chain of 512 rotors (as for Animation 1), showing a slip-plane steady state at a lower temperature, T=0.001, mu=0.5, shear-rate=0.001953125.
