Sumario:A recently proposed statistical treatment of finite unbound systems in the presence of collective motions is applied to a classical Lennard-Jones system, numerically simulated through molecular dynamics. In the ideal gas limit, the flow dynamics can be exactly recast into effective time-dependent Lagrange parameters acting on a standard Gibbs ensemble with an extra total energy conservation constraint. Using this same ansatz for the low-density freeze-out configurations of an interacting expanding system, we show that the presence of flow can have a sizable effect on the microstate distribution. © 2007 The American Physical Society.
