butane

This repository comprises code that simulates the dynamics of a butane molecule as described in ¹ first for the original system and second for the homogenised system. To combine the two animations into one, as presented below, use this.

Note: The initial conditions are the same in both systems, but the respective dynamics diverge considerably over time.
