Abstract: Studying systems where many individual bodies in motion interact with one another is a complex and interesting area. Simple mechanisms that may be determined for biological, chemical, or physical reasons can lead to astonishingly complex results that require a further understanding of the moving bodies. With the increasing interaction between computation and various scientific areas, it has become more useful, feasible, and important to create models for these systems. Here, we present two families of models, deterministic and nondeterministic, along with three distinct and realistic interaction mechanisms. These are combined in a unique way to provide the groundwork for particle system models across multiple disciplines. This work has applications that range from biology to chemistry and physics. In addition to describing the motivations and math behind all the models, software is provided that allows researchers to quickly adjust and implement what is described here.
