We use molecular dynamics simulations in 2D to study multi-component systems in the limiting case where all the particles are different (APD). The particles are assumed to interact via Lennard-Jones potentials, with identical size parameters but their pair interaction parameters are generated at random from a uniform or from a peaked distribution. We analyze both the global and the local properties of these systems at temperatures above the freezing transition and find that APD fluids relax into a non-random state characterized by clustering of particles according to the values of their pair interaction parameters (particle-identity ordering).
