Abstract

The molecular dynamics of inelastic disks without external forcing is investigated. By introducing a special observation frame with rescaled time, we observe the virtual steady states converted from asymptotic energy dissipation processes. The system behavior in the thermodynamic limit is carefully investigated. It is found that a phase transition with symmetry breaking occurs when the magnitude of dissipation is greater than a critical value.
