A Test Particle Monte Carlo Method

-A Monte Carlo technique was developed suitable for investigating rarefied gas dynamics problems. The procedure is based on the 'test particle' method. The discontinuous function frequently employed for describing the target molecules' velocity distribution is replaced here by a continuous analytic function, the form of which is prescribed prior to the calculations. This modification simplifies...

The Monte-Carlo Method

The Monte Carlo Method

The Monte Carlo method is often referred to as a ‘computer experiment’. One might think of this as a way of conveying the fact that the output of simulations is not an equation, as in conventional theory. Instead, numbers appear on the computer screen in somewhat the same way that numbers appear on a measuring device in the laboratory. Thus there is the implication that somehow simulations are ...

Monte Carlo Simulation Method

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods such as Variational Monte Carlo, Diffusion Monte Carlo or Path Integral Monte Carlo are the most accurate and general methods for computing total electronic energies. We will review methods we have developed to perform QMC for the electrons coupled to another MC simulation for the ions. In this method, one estimates the Born-Oppenheimer energy E(Z) where Z repr...
