The influence of rotational friction between particles

Slots: 1-4
Hours per week: 3-9
Completion within: 3-12 months

For students inrolled in:
Applied Physics B.Sc., Informatics B.Ed., Informatics B.Sc., Mathematics B.Ed., Mathematics B.Sc., Meteorology B.Sc., Physics B.Ed., Physics B.Sc.,

Discription
Friction between rotating particles plays a key role in various physical or biological contexts. Such particles like bacteria, for example, can be used as motors for bacteria-based batteries. This project will explore the influence of rotational friction between particles in typical molecular dynamic simulations.

Role of the students
The students will use ready-made Python code to analyze potential physical effects and applications of such friction between rotating particles in computer simulations. If they are interested, students can also adjust the source code.

Qualifications
Basic Python skills are necessary. You will have to use Linux in this project. However, you won't need basic Linux skills since you will learn it through the project.
