The experiments conducted by various scientific groups indicate that, in dense two-dimensional systems of elongated particles subjected to vibration, the pattern formation is possible. Computer simulations have evidenced that the random walk of rectangular particles in a discrete two-dimensional space can lead to their self-organisation. We propose a technique for calculating the entropy characteristics of a two-dimensional system in a discrete two-dimensional space consisting of rectangular particles of two mutually perpendicular orientations, and a change in these characteristics for a random walk of particles is investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
