Description

Remembering conversations with colleagues a topic that came up is the conservation of energy in the model.

@schuhmaj @FG-TUM IIRC we conserve mass but not energy right?

So, ideally, in the future it would be nice to scale / cap the velocities of created fragments to conserve energy?

A related question is if there should be a limit to the velocity of created fragments? Currently, I think, sometimes very fast particles are created that can skip out of the simulation domain within one or few time steps.
