Accurate Computational Models

5 How many determinants with Ms = 0 can be generated for the active space with 4 active orbitals and 4 electrons as shown in Fig. 4.10. 

It is rather complicated to give generally applicable formulas for the number of determinants in each class, but rough estimates are rather easily calculated. Consider a system with k inactive orbitals, / virtual orbitals and n determinants in the reference wave function, the number of electrons is even and we restrict ourselves to the = 0 

6 Compute the number of Ih-lp determinants in the case of k inactive orbitals, I virtual orbitals and a (2,2) CAS space for Ms = 0.

If such an approach becomes widespread it will be even more necessary to calibrate and understand its merits and drawbacks by using detailed and accurate computational modelling techniques that have been thoroughly validated, such as Large Eddy Simulation methods (Rodi, 1997 [541]), stochastic simulation methods (Hort et al., 2002 [276] Turfus, 1988 [622]), and time-dependent Reynolds-averaged models. 

In order to describe theoretically the cis and trans ortho-XC Yi OW in a solvent mimicking CCI4, we invoke a rather simple but accurate computational model. Its results are summarized in Table 14, which displays the following three key effects of the solvent. First, the solvent reduces the gas-phase cis-trans n nd 35 cm for F, Cl and... 

As shown in Figure 26.1, the wide gap opens up between the particle and continuum paradigms. This gap cannot be spanned using statistical mechanical methods only. The existing theoretical models to be applied in the mesoscale are based on heuristics obtained via downscaling of macroscopic models and upscaling particle approach. Simphfied theoretical models of complex fluid flows, e.g., flows in porous media, non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, thin film behavior, flows in presence of chemical reactions, and hydrodynamic instabilities formation, involve not only vah-dation but should be supported by more accurate computational models as well. However, until now, there has not been any precisely defined computational model, which operates in the mesoscale, in the range from 10 A to tens of microns.

The modeling of a solvent—a liquid phase—is especially challenging. In the gas phase, the molecules can be treated as isolated species that are easily modeled using quantum mechanics (Chapter 14) or molecular mechanics (Chapter 2). Modeling a solid is certainly challenging, but at least in the crystalline state there is periodic order, which in principle, simplifies the problem. Still, accurate computer modeling of solids is a major challenge.

Theoretical calculations using modern quantum chemical methods provided an outstanding opportunity to make a valuable insight into the problem and allowed reliable description of reaction mechanisms in catalysis from the first principles. Application of informative and flexible computational procedures on numerous examples has demonstrated accurate computational modeling - often within the accuracy achieved in experimental measurements.
