Collisions of particles of different species lead to the formation of congestion fronts. One of the models implements a reversible process whereas in the other model the congestion front forms irreversibly. For both models we find that the congestion fronts are self-affine but with different roughness exponents. For low densities the system does not congest and we find a phase transition between a phase of freely moving particles and a congestion phase.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-07T12:29:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "diffusing particles", "congestion front forms irreversibly", "congestion phase", "models implements", "opposite sides" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
