How do I simulate a two-cart collision?

Open this page and use the live Random Walk tool below — set your inputs and the simulation runs instantly in your browser using real numerics. No install, no account needed.

Yes. The simulation runs free in your browser. A one-time unlock or a Pro plan adds advanced parameters, saved presets, data import, and clean exports.

Can I use my own numbers?

Absolutely — every input is adjustable, and with data import you can drive a two-cart collision from your own measurements.

Hundreds of walkers start at the center and step randomly. The cloud spreads as √(time) — the signature of diffusion.

Governing equation

⟨ x ⟩ = 0, ⟨ x^{2} ⟩ = d N = 20 \approx 0.0

Reading this result: With 400 walkers the RMS distance grows as √(steps) — the defining signature of diffusion.

About this simulation

The full Random Walk tool models a two-cart collision with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
