ABSTRACT

To achieve cluster formation in a nonsaturated dense gas, N particles with Lennard-Jones interaction were placed in a cubic cell, with edges L and periodic boundary conditions. The equationsof-motion were solved by a Verlet algorithm in a microcanonical ensemble. The total relative energy of the chosen atom interacting within the Verlet’s sphere about the atom was tested to verify that a gas atom belonged to a cluster. It was determined that the pressure in a nonsaturated dense gas decreases with the formation of clusters.
