Description

In this next video, we discusses one of the earlier methods to simulate at constant temperature, the Anderson Thermostat. It is show that this thermostat acts as a demon that once in a while gives the particles the proper velocity drawn from the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution corresponding to the desired temperature.
