Not quite a computation, but there is a striking example (due to Xia) where 5 particles interact and "kicks" off one particle to infinity in finite time. Further details can be found in

Of course, that is physically impossible.

Interesting paper: I could just about follow it and the 'm3' particle accelerator is somewhat terrifying!
