Multibody Interactions In Coarse-Graining Schemes For Extended Systems, S Are, Ma Katsoulakis, P Plechac, L Rey-Bellet

In this paper we address the role of multibody interactions for the coarse-grained approximation of stochastic lattice systems. Such interaction potentials are often not included in coarse-graining schemes, as they can be computationally expensive. The multibody interactions are obtained from the error expansion of the reference measure which is, in many cases, chosen as a Gibbs measure corresponding to a local mean-field approximation. We identify the parameter $\epsilon$ that characterizes the level of approximation and its relation to the underlying interaction potential. The error analysis suggests strategies to overcome the computational costs due to evaluations of multibody interactions by additional …


Stochastic Hard-Sphere Dynamics For Hydrodynamics Of Non-Ideal Fluids, Alejandro Garcia, Aleksandar Donev, Berni J. Alder Jan 2008

Stochastic Hard-Sphere Dynamics For Hydrodynamics Of Non-Ideal Fluids, Alejandro Garcia, Aleksandar Donev, Berni J. Alder

Alejandro Garcia

A novel stochastic fluid model is proposed with a nonideal structure factor consistent with compressibility, and adjustable transport coefficients. This stochastic hard sphere dynamics (SHSD) algorithm is a modification of the direct simulation Monte Carlo algorithm and has several computational advantages over event-driven hard-sphere molecular dynamics. Surprisingly, SHSD results in an equation of state and a pair correlation function identical to that of a deterministic Hamiltonian system of penetrable spheres interacting with linear core pair potentials. The fluctuating hydrodynamic behavior of the SHSD fluid is verified for the Brownian motion of a nanoparticle suspended in a compressible solvent.
