Numerous papers have been pubhshed on particularly the topic of this chapter the role of the fluid—particle interaction force in RANS-based simulations of either the Euler—Lagrange or the Euler—Euler type. The reason for this massive effort is in the common perception that the current understanding about the fluid-particle interaction is insufficient and responsible for the generally modest predictive performance of the current RANS-based two-phase flow simulations. This in itself may already be indicative of a serious flaw in the way the fundamental knowledge on fluid—particle interaction in the fluid mechanics hterature has been condensed in the conventional CFD software. An exhaustive review of all RANS-based two-phase simulations reported in the hterature is virtually impossible and also not needed, as various reviews are available, sometimes restricted to a particular canonical interaction force and/or a particular class of two-phase flows (Balachandar and Eaton, 2010 Hibiki and Ishii, 2007 Kuipers and Van Swaaij, 1998 Li et al, 2015 Ochieng and Onyango, 2010 Pourtousi et al, 2014 Sokohchin et al, 2004 Tabib et al, 2008 Visuri et al, 2011 Shah et al, 2015). 

In addition, there could be a mechanical or electromagnetic interaction of a system with an external entity which may do work on an otherwise isolated system. Such a contact with a work source can be represented by the Hamiltonian U p, q, x) where x is the coordinate (for example, the position of a piston in a box containing a gas, or the magnetic moment if an external magnetic field is present, or the electric dipole moment in the presence of an external electric field) describing the interaction between the system and the external work source. Then the force, canonically conjugate to x, which the system exerts on the outside world is... 

The correlation functions provide an alternate route to the equilibrium properties of classical fluids. In particular, the two-particle correlation fimction of a system with a pairwise additive potential detemrines all of its themiodynamic properties. It also detemrines the compressibility of systems witir even more complex tliree-body and higher-order interactions. The pair correlation fiinctions are easier to approximate than the PFs to which they are related they can also be obtained, in principle, from x-ray or neutron diffraction experiments. This provides a useful perspective of fluid stmcture, and enables Hamiltonian models and approximations for the equilibrium stmcture of fluids and solutions to be tested by direct comparison with the experimentally detennined correlation fiinctions. We discuss the basic relations for the correlation fiinctions in the canonical and grand canonical ensembles before considering applications to model systems.

In an ideal gas there are no interactions between the particles and so the potential ener function, 1 ), equals zero. exp(- f (r )/fcBT) is therefore equal to 1 for every gas partic in the system. The integral of 1 over the coordinates of each atom is equal to the volume, ai so for N ideal gas particles the configurational integral is given by (V = volume). T1 leads to the following result for the canonical partition function of an ideal gas ... 

Molecular orbitals are not unique. The same exact wave function could be expressed an infinite number of ways with different, but equivalent orbitals. Two commonly used sets of orbitals are localized orbitals and symmetry-adapted orbitals (also called canonical orbitals). Localized orbitals are sometimes used because they look very much like a chemist s qualitative models of molecular bonds, lone-pair electrons, core electrons, and the like. Symmetry-adapted orbitals are more commonly used because they allow the calculation to be executed much more quickly for high-symmetry molecules. Localized orbitals can give the fastest calculations for very large molecules without symmetry due to many long-distance interactions becoming negligible. 

It is clear that Eq. (85) is numerically reliable provided is sufficiently small. However, a detailed investigation in Ref. 69 reveals that can be as large as some ten percent of the diameter of a fluid molecule. Likewise, rj should not be smaller than, say, the distance at which the radial pair correlation function has its first minimum (corresponding to the nearest-neighbor shell). Under these conditions, and if combined with a neighbor list technique, savings in computer time of up to 40% over conventional implementations are measured for the first (canonical) step of the algorithm detailed in Sec. IIIB. These are achieved because, for pairwise interactions, only 1+ 2 contributions need to be computed here before i is moved U and F2), and only contributions need to be evaluated after i is displaced... 

To conclude, the introduction of species-selective membranes into the simulation box results in the osmotic equilibrium between a part of the system containing the products of association and a part in which only a one-component Lennard-Jones fluid is present. The density of the fluid in the nonreactive part of the system is lower than in the reactive part, at osmotic equilibrium. This makes the calculations of the chemical potential efficient. The quahty of the results is similar to those from the grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation. The method is neither restricted to dimerization nor to spherically symmetric associative interactions. Even in the presence of higher-order complexes in large amounts, the proposed approach remains successful. 

Let us consider a simple model of a quenched-annealed system which consists of particles belonging to two species species 0 is quenched (matrix) and species 1 is annealed, i.e., the particles are allowed to equlibrate between themselves in the presence of 0 particles. We assume that the subsystem composed of 0 particles has been a usual fluid before quenching. One can characterize it either by the density or by the value of the chemical potential The interparticle interaction Woo(r) does not need to be specified for the moment. It is just assumed that the fluid with interaction woo(r) has reached an equlibrium at certain temperature Tq, and then the fluid has been quenched at this temperature without structural relaxation. Thus, the distribution of species 0 is any one from a set of equihbrium configurations corresponding to canonical or grand canonical ensemble. We denote the interactions between annealed particles by Un r), and the cross fluid-matrix interactions by Wio(r). 

To introduce the transfer matrix method we repeat some well-known facts for a 1-D lattice gas of sites with nearest neighbor interactions [31]. Its grand canonical partition function is given by... 

Eq. (1) would correspond to a constant energy, constant volume, or micro-canonical simulation scheme. There are various approaches to extend this to a canonical (constant temperature), or other thermodynamic ensembles. (A discussion of these approaches is beyond the scope of the present review.) However, in order to perform such a simulation there are several difficulties to overcome. First, the interactions have to be determined properly, which means that one needs a potential function which describes the system correctly. Second, one needs good initial conditions for the velocities and the positions of the individual particles since, as shown in Sec. II, simulations on this detailed level can only cover a fairly short period of time. Moreover, the overall conformation of the system should be in equilibrium. 

A MC study of adsorption of living polymers [28] at hard walls has been carried out in a grand canonical ensemble for semiflexible o- 0 polymer chains and adsorbing interaction e < 0 at the walls of a box of size C.

The resonance interaction of chlorine with the benzene ring can be represented as shown in 13 or 14, and both of these representations have been used in the literature to save space. However, we shall not use the curved-arrow method of 13 since arrows will be used in this book to express the actual movement of electrons in reactions. We will use representations like 14 or else write out the canonical forms. The convention used in dashed-line formulas like 14 is that bonds that are present in all canonical forms are drawn as solid lines, while bonds that are not present in all forms are drawn as dashed lines. In most resonance, a bonds are not involved, and only the n or unshared electrons are put in, in different ways. This means that if we write one canonical form for a molecule, we can then write the others by merely moving n and unshared electrons. 

Berardi et al. [66] have also investigated the influence of central dipoles in discotic molecules. This system was studied using canonical Monte Carlo simulations at constant density over a range of temperatures for a system of 1000 molecules. Just as in discotic systems with no dipolar interaction, isotropic, nematic and columnar phases are observed, although at the low density studied the columnar phase has cavities within the structure. This effect was discovered in an earlier constant density investigation of the phase behaviour of discotic Gay-Berne molecules and is due to the signiflcant difference between the natural densities of the columnar and nematic phases...
