چکیده

We report comprehensive simulations of the critical dynamics of a symmetric binary Lennard-Jones mixture near its consolute point. The self-diffusion coefficient exhibits no detectable anomaly. The data for the shear viscosity and the mutual-diffusion coefficient are fully consistent with the asymptotic power laws and amplitudes predicted by renormalization-group and mode-coupling theories provided finite-size effects and the background contribution to the relevant Onsager coefficient are suitably accounted for. This resolves a controversy raised by recent molecular simulations.

Finite-size scaling study of shear viscosity anomaly at liquid-liquid criticality.

We study the equilibrium dynamics of a symmetrical binary Lennard-Jones fluid mixture near its consolute criticality. Molecular dynamics simulation results for the shear viscosity, η, from a microcanonical ensemble are compared with those from a canonical ensemble with various thermostats. It is observed that the Nosé-Hoover thermostat is a good candidate for this purpose, and is therefore adop...

Tricritical phenomena in a two-dimensional fluid

We consider the application of finite-size scaling methods to simulations of tricritical phenomena in a two-dimensional symmetrical binary fluid. A simulation strategy is described which together with the scaling framework enables the accurate determination of both the universal and non-universal tricritical point properties of the model. The results also provide insight into the character of t...

A finite-size scaling study of a model of globular proteins.

Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations are used to explore the metastable fluid-fluid coexistence curve of the modified Lennard-Jones model of globular proteins of ten Wolde and Frenkel [Science, 277, 1975 (1997)]. Using both mixed-field finite-size scaling and histogram-reweighting methods, the joint distribution of density and energy fluctuations is analyzed at coexistence to accurately dete...

Finite Size Scaling in Neural Networks

We demonstrate that the fraction of pattern sets that can be stored in singleand hidden-layer perceptrons exhibits finite size scaling. This feature allows one to estimate the critical storage capacity ac from simulations of relatively small systems. We illustrate this approach by determining ac , together with the finite size scaling exponent n, for storing Gaussian patterns in committee and p...

Multiphase flow and tromp curve simulation of dense medium cyclones using Computational Fluid Dynamics

Dense Medium Cyclone is a high capacity device that is widely used in coal preparation. It is simple in design but the swirling turbulent flow, the presence of medium and coal with different density and size fraction and the presence of the air-core make the flow pattern in DMCs complex. In this article the flow pattern simulation of DMC is performed with computational fluid dynamics and Fluent...
