Elementary Simulation of Tethered Brownian Motion
We describe a simple numerical simulation, suitable for an undergraduate project (or graduate problem set), of the Brownian motion of a particle in a Hooke-law potential well. Understanding this physical situation is a practical necessity in many experimental contexts, for instance in single molecule biophysics; and its simulation helps the student to appreciate the dynamical character of therm...
متن کاملBrownian motion of tethered nanowires.
Brownian motion of slender particles near a boundary is ubiquitous in biological systems and in nanomaterial assembly, but the complex hydrodynamic interaction in those systems is still poorly understood. Here, we report experimental and computational studies of the Brownian motion of silicon nanowires tethered on a substrate. An optical interference method enabled direct observation of microsc...
متن کاملSimulation of fractional Brownian motion
Preface In recent years, there has been great interest in the simulation of long-range dependent processes, in particular fractional Brownian motion. Motivated by applications in communications engineering, I wrote my master's thesis on the subject in 2002. Since many people turned out to be interested in various aspects of fractional Brownian motion, I decided to update my thesis and make it p...
متن کاملOn spectral simulation of fractional Brownian motion
This paper focuses on simulating fractional Brownian motion (fBm). Despite the availability of several exact simulation methods, attention has been paid to approximate simulation (i.e., the output is approximately fBm), particularly because of possible time savings. In this paper, we study the class of approximate methods that are based on the spectral properties of fBm’s stationary incremental...
متن کاملBrownian Brownian Motion – I
A classical model of Brownian motion consists of a heavy molecule submerged into a gas of light atoms in a closed container. In this work we study a 2D version of this model, where the molecule is a heavy disk of mass M ≫ 1 and the gas is represented by just one point particle of mass m = 1, which interacts with the disk and the walls of the container via elastic collisions. Chaotic behavior of...
