Evolution of the mass-transfer processes in nonideal dissipative systems. I. Numerical simulation

The results of numerical study of mass-transfer processes in quasi-two- and three-dimensional nonideal dissipative systems are presented. Simulations were performed for different types of model pair potentials of intergrain interaction that are various combinations of power-law and exponential functions. The calculations were performed in a wide range of parameters typical for laboratory dusty plasma experiments. It was shown that the dynamics of grains in liquidlike systems for short observation times is close to the evolution of thermal oscillations in the crystal lattice.
