2. Details of<strong>ms2</strong><br />
This section provides a closer insight into<strong>ms2</strong> and the implemented equations.<br />
2.1. Reduced quantities<br />
The simulation program<strong>ms2</strong> internally uses reduced quantities <strong>for</strong> its calculations. All quantities are reduced by<br />
a reference lengthσR, a reference energyǫR and a reference massmR, respectively.<br />
