Characterisation of diffusion-driven self-organisation of rodlike particles by means of entropy of generalised two-dimensional words

Abstract

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.
