about this visualization

  • tool to visualize dynamical heterogeneity
  • observe clustering of slow (blue) and fast (red) regions
  • adjust "temperature" to influence cluster formation

important limitations

  • visualization, not simulation: uses simplified grid model, not molecular dynamics
  • abstract state: uses "mobility", not particle positions/velocities
  • simplified dynamics: update rule chosen to show heterogeneity, not derived from physics
  • "temperature": controls model parameters, not thermodynamic temperature
