Evolution of energy in a shearing box simulation where particles have a mean-free-path of λ = 0.1H and coefficient of restitution ϵ = 0.3. Drag forces are ignored. The Jacobi constant falls due to dissipative collisions. By monitoring the energy released as particles pass the boundaries and the energy dissipation by inelastic collisions we can account for all the energy in the system.
