Thomson's problem

Hi everybody,

I have been trying to solve the Thomson's problem into a sphere using the Charged Particle Tracing. The problem that i have been facing is the wall condition. Neither the freeze nor the the bounce condition is that i want to. I want a proper wall condition in order the particles move on the sphere, after they impact on it, until the equilibrium state.
More details about the Thomson's problem can be found in the following link:

I will be extremely grateful to any help!!!
