Visualizations:

The animation below shows the time evolution of model C2R90, projected on the equatorial plane. The three sections of the animation represent the time evolution of (1)  the spatial distribution of particles, (2) the spatial distribution of particles with individual trails, and (3) the smoothed surface density, respectively.
