A modified Lowe-Andersen thermostat for a hard sphere fluid

Abstract:
In order to model the thermal interaction between two hard sphere particles, we propose a small modification of the Lowe-Andersen thermostat, a well-known numerical thermostat that acts on selected pairs of particles. The simulation procedure presented here is local, easy to implement and computationally inexpensive while perturbing the natural dynamics of the system in a minimal fashion.

Consider a non-uniformly charged sphere, for which the density of charge depends only on the distance from a point in space and not on the direction. Such a sphere has a spherically symmetrical charge distribution. Here, the electric...

Fluid Pressure
According to Pascal's law, a fluid at rest will generate equal pressure in all directions. This pressure is measured as a force per unit area, and its magnitude depends on the fluid's specific...
