Abstract:
A two-dimensional Lennard-Jones system in a circular and rotating container has been studied by means of molecular dynamics technique. A nonequilibrium transition to the rotating stage has been detected in a delayed time since an instant switching of the frame rotation. This transition is attributed to the increase of the density at the wall because of the centrifugal force. At the same time the phase transition occurs, the inner system changes its configuration of the solid-state type into the liquid type. Impact of angular frequency and molecular roughness on the transport properties of the nonrotating and rotating systems is analyzed.

Moment of Inertia and Rotational Kinetic Energy
This relationship between the rotational kinetic energy of a body and its angular speed implies that for the same angular speed, the rotational kinetic energy is greater if its moment of inertia is greater. Thus, more work needs to be done on the body to change its rotational kinetic energy and rotate it at a specific angular speed. Hence, the moment of inertia quantifies the...
