It is easy to verify that multiparticle collisions conserve mass, momentum, and energy in every cell. Mass conservation is obvious. Momentum and energy conservation are also easily established. For momentum conservation in cell E, we have... 

Since elastic collisions conserve the relative speed throughout the history of each atom A, its speed, ta, remains constant. For the computation of the correlation function, we consider the time average,...

Reactions in the gas phase, ignored in reactive evaporation, are here also generally negligible the heat of reaction liberated cannot be dissipated in a two-body collision. Conservation of momentum and energy lead to heterogeneous reactions on the substrate surface but are unfortunately also possible on the target surface [398]. 

Nonconservative dipole. The mechanical system made up of two bodies, one immobile and the other mobile, works without conservation of momenta, because the dipole has no way of exchanging momenta to distribute its energy among the poles. Case study Cl Colliding Bodies has shown the same mechanical system, but with two mobile bodies exchanging momenta in a collision. Conservation of momentum could apply in this case. This means that conservation of momentum is neither a fundamental law nor an intrinsic feature of the inductive (kinetic) energy subvariety. 

The beauty of LGA is their simplicity. A lattice gas is an attempt to define the simplest system of interacting paitides on a lattice, whose collisions conserve mass and momentum, and thus whose behavior can be expected to obey the Navie-Stokes equations. The intent here is not to start with the continuum equations and discretize them, but rather to start with a fundamentally discrete system of partides, and make them interact in such a way that the Navier-Stokes equations are emergent, just as they are for natural fluids. That is, LGA, like continuous EDMD, are a particulate simulation of the physical system under study, rather than the numerical solution of hydrodynamic PDEs. These modds range from purdy discrete lattice molecular dynamics to the highly dabo-... 

Conservation laws at a microscopic level of molecular interactions play an important role. In particular, energy as a conserved variable plays a central role in statistical mechanics. Another important concept for equilibrium systems is the law of detailed balance. Molecular motion can be viewed as a sequence of collisions, each of which is akin to a reaction. Most often it is the momentum, energy and angrilar momentum of each of the constituents that is changed during a collision if the molecular structure is altered, one has a chemical reaction. The law of detailed balance implies that, in equilibrium, the number of each reaction in the forward direction is the same as that in the reverse direction i.e. each microscopic reaction is in equilibrium. This is a consequence of the time reversal syimnetry of mechanics. 

Reactive scattering or a chemical reaction is characterized by a rearrangement of the component particles within the collision system, thereby resulting in a change of the physical and chemical identity of the original collision reactants A + B into different collision products C + D. Total mass is conserved. The reaction is exothemiic when rel(CD) > (AB) and is endothermic when rel(CD) < (AB). A threshold energy is required for the endothemiic reaction.

Wlien the atom-atom or atom-molecule interaction is spherically symmetric in the chaimel vector R, i.e. V(r, R) = V(/-,R), then the orbital / and rotational j angular momenta are each conserved tln-oughout the collision so that an i-partial wave decomposition of the translational wavefiinctions for each value of j is possible. The translational wave is decomposed according to... 

The probability for a particular electron collision process to occur is expressed in tenns of the corresponding electron-impact cross section n which is a function of the energy of the colliding electron. All inelastic electron collision processes have a minimum energy (tlireshold) below which the process cannot occur for reasons of energy conservation. In plasmas, the electrons are not mono-energetic, but have an energy or velocity distribution,/(v). In those cases, it is often convenient to define a rate coefficient /cfor each two-body collision process ... 

Now encounters between molecules, or between a molecule and the wall are accompanied by momentuin transfer. Thus if the wall acts as a diffuse reflector, molecules colliding wlch it lose all their axial momentum on average, so such encounters directly change the axial momentum of each species. In an intermolecuLar collision there is a lateral transfer of momentum to a different location in the cross-section, but there is also a net change in total momentum for species r if the molecule encountered belongs to a different species. Furthermore, chough the total momentum of a particular species is conserved in collisions between pairs of molecules of this same species, the successive lateral transfers of momentum associated with a sequence of collisions may terminate in momentum transfer to the wall. Thus there are three mechanisms by which a given species may lose momentum in the axial direction ... 

Typical events that are considered are fire, explosion, ship collision, and the failure of pressurized storage vessels for which historical data established the failure frequencies. Assessment of consequences was based partly on conservative treatment of past experience. For example ilic assessment of the number of casualties from the release of a toxic material was based on past histoiy conditioned by knowledge of the toxicology and the prevailing weather conditions. An altemati. e used fault trees to estimate probabilities and identify the consequences. Credit is taken in this process for preventative measures in design, operation, and maintenance procedures. Historical data provide reliability expected from plant components and humans. 

Particles of different sizes fall at different velocities. When a set of different-sized particles falls in a group, the particles collide with each other and the faster ones tend to accelerate the slower ones. In all collisions the linear momentum is conserved, so that if all particles collide with each other sufficiently many times, the set of particles will achieve one mean free-falling velocity. Thus the mean free-falling velocity of the set of particles can be defined by... 

In collisions between two bodies the contact force and the duration of contact are usually unknown. However, the duration of contact is the same for both bodies, and the force on the first body is the negative of the force on the second body. Thus the net change in momentum is zero. This is called the principle of conservation of momentum. 

In collisions, angular momentum, like linear momentum, is conserved. 

In general, the distribution function changes in time because of the underlying motion of the hard-spheres. Consider first the nonphysical case where there are no collisions. Phase-space conservation, or Louiville s Theorem [bal75], assures us that... 

Boltzman s H-Theorem Let us consider a binary elastic collision of two hard-spheres in more detail. Using the same notation as above, so that v, V2 represent the velocities of the incoming spheres and v, V2 represent the velocities of the outgoing spheres, we have from momentum and energy conservation that... 

In this section we show how the fundamental equations of hydrodynamics — namely, the continuity equation (equation 9.3), Euler s equation (equation 9.7) and the Navier-Stokes equation (equation 9.16) - can all be recovered from the Boltzman equation by exploiting the fact that in any microscopic collision there are dynamical quantities that are always conserved namely (for spinless particles), mass, momentum and energy. The derivations in this section follow mostly [huangk63].

Consider a head-on collision between particles incoming along directions cp and Cfc+3. There are two possible outcomes such that both particle number and momentum are conserved the output must consist of two particles emerging either along directions c +i and 3 +4 (figure 9.10-b) or along Cfc i and (figure 9.10-c). We can either have the system always choose the same output channel, which... 

Whatever scheme we choose for treating head-on collisions, however, unless we also have triple collisions, spurious conservations laws are inevitable. In addition to the total particle numbei and momentum, it is easy to see that head-on collisions also conserve the difference in particle number in opposite directions-, that is, the difference in particle numbers in directions c and c +s- A simple way to fix this problem is to introduce a triple-collision of the form (cp, Ck+2, k+4) ( k+i, Ck+s, Ck+5)...
