Particle simulation of compression waves

Our primary aim in this paper is to develop a new method for modeling waves on a digital computer. The approach will be a quasi-molecular, particle approach which lends itself readily to computer experiments. Explosive type disturbances will be simulated first which will generate compression waves. These waves then propagate by each particle's interaction locally with its immediate neighbors. Computer examples which illustrate physically correct physical phenomena related to compression wave motions will be illustrated and discussed.
