Implicit Finite-Size Effects in Computer Simulations
The influence of periodic boundary conditions (implicit finite-size effects) on the anisotropy of pair correlations in computer simulations is studied for a dense classical fluid of pair-wise interacting krypton atoms near the triple point. Molecular dynamics simulation data for the pair distribution function gN (~r) ≡ gN (r, θ, φ) of N -particle systems, as a function of radial distance r, pol...
متن کاملFinite-size effects in simulations of nucleation.
We investigate the importance of finite-size effects in simulations of nucleation processes. Most molecular dynamics simulations of first order phase transitions, such as vapor-liquid nucleation, are performed in the canonical NVT ensemble where, owing to the fixed total number of molecules N, the growth of the new phase causes the depletion of the metastable phase. This effect may lead to sign...
متن کاملFinite Size Effects in Simulations of Protein Aggregation
It is becoming increasingly clear that the soluble protofibrillar species that proceed amyloid fibril formation are associated with a range of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson diseases. Computer simulations of the processes that lead to the formation of these oligomeric species are starting to make significant contributions to our understanding of the determinants o...
متن کاملFluctuations, Finite-Size Effects and the Thermodynamic Limit in Computer Simulations: Revisiting the Spatial Block Analysis Method
The spatial block analysis (SBA) method has been introduced to efficiently extrapolate thermodynamic quantities from finite-size computer simulations of a large variety of physical systems. In the particular case of simple liquids and liquid mixtures, by subdividing the simulation box into blocks of increasing size and calculating volume-dependent fluctuations of the number of particles, it is ...
متن کاملImplicit Finite-Difference Simulations of Three-Dimensional Compressible Flow
An implicit finite-difference procedure for unsteady three-dimensional flow capable of handling arbitrary geometry through the use of general coordinate transformations is described. Viscous effects are optionally incorporated with a "thin-layer" approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations. An implicit approximate factorization technique is employed so that the small grid sizes required for sp...
