Langevin thermostat for rigid body dynamics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new method for isothermal rigid body simulations using the quaternion representation and Langevin dynamics. It can be combined with the traditional Langevin or gradient (Brownian) dynamics for the translational degrees of freedom to correctly sample the canonical distribution in a simulation of rigid molecules. We propose simple, quasisymplectic second-order numerical integrators and test their performance on the TIP4P model of water. We also investigate the optimal choice of thermostat parameters.

New Langevin and gradient thermostats for rigid body dynamics.
We introduce two new thermostats, one of Langevin type and one of gradient (Brownian) type, for rigid body dynamics. We formulate rotation using the quaternion representation of angular coordinates; both thermostats preserve the unit length of quaternions. The Langevin thermostat also ensures that the conjugate angular momenta stay within the tangent space of the quaternion coordinates, as requ...
متن کاملIn Silico Single-Molecule Manipulation of DNA with Rigid Body Dynamics
We develop a new powerful method to reproduce in silico single-molecule manipulation experiments. We demonstrate that flexible polymers such as DNA can be simulated using rigid body dynamics thanks to an original implementation of Langevin dynamics in an open source library called Open Dynamics Engine. We moreover implement a global thermostat which accelerates the simulation sampling by two or...
متن کاملComparing the efficiencies of stochastic isothermal molecular dynamics methods
When molecular dynamics is used to find time-dependent properties, such as correlation functions, at a prescribed temperature, there is a conflict between the need for the thermostat to perturb the time evolution of the system as little as possible and the need to establish equilibrium as quickly as possible. In this article we define a quantity called the ‘efficiency’ of a thermostat which rel...
متن کاملParticle-Based Mesoscale Hydrodynamic Techniques
– Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and multi-particle collision (MPC) dynamics are powerful tools to study mesoscale hydrodynamic phenomena accompanied by thermal fluctuations. To understand the advantages of these types of mesoscale simulation techniques in more detail, we propose new two methods, which are intermediate between DPD and MPC — DPD with a multibody thermostat (DPD-MT), and MPC...
متن کاملSupporting Information for Adaptive resolution simulation of MARTINI solvents
The Langevin thermostat does not reproduce the correct hydrodynamics, i.e., the hydrodynamic interactions are unphysically screened. To correctly describe hydrodynamic interactions, we have to use the DPD thermostat1,2 instead. The DPD thermostat satisfies Newton’s third law by construction and owing to mass, momentum and temperature conservation, hydrodynamics is also properly reproduced.3 We ...
