Mass conservation collision

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... 

The collision of particles with masses m, and m2 leads to the formation of a new particle with mass m3 = mt + m2. If the new particle is assumed to be spherical, its radius is r3 = (r3 + r3)l/3. To ensure mass conservation, the mathematical description of the coagulation process requires an appropriate weighting of the coagulation function, and the delta function is suitable for this purpose. We define... 

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. 

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]. 

The amount of work performed fixed W. Measurements of mass and velocity of the rubber band tell us, experimentally, the magnitude of (KE),. How do we know (PE)%1 How are we sure that (PE)2 is equal to W and to (KE),1 The evidence we have is that we put an amount of energy into the system and can recover all of it later at will. It is natural to say the energy is stored in the meantime. Then we can say that the rubber band is just like the billiard ball collision energy is conserved at all times. 

Since mass, momentum, and energy are conserved in a collision, successive multiplication of the Boltzmann equation by m, mVj, and mv, and integration over vl9 may be expected to give rise to equations of importance in the macroscopic domain. Multiplying Eq. (1-39) by m and integrating, we have ... 

Bather than carrying out the calculation for the general case, which yields rather unwieldy expressions, only equations sufficient to obtain certain approximations will be developed. If we multiply the Boltzmann equation, Eq. (1-39), by 1 = i%( 2)3r )) (0.9>)> the resulting equation is simply the equation of conservation of mass, since integrating unity over the collision integral gives zero ... 

Multiparticle collision dynamics can be generalized to treat systems with different species. While there are many different ways to introduce multiparticle collisions that distinguish between the different species [16, 17], all such rules should conserve mass, momentum, and energy. We suppose that the A-particle system contains particles of different species a=A,B,... with masses ma. Different multiparticle collisions can be used to distinguish the interactions among the species. For this purpose we let V 1 denote the center of mass velocity of particles of species a in the cell i ,3... 

Here va and va are the stoichiometric coefficients for the reaction. The formulation is easily extended to treat a set of coupled chemical reactions. Reactive MPC dynamics again consists of free streaming and collisions, which take place at discrete times x. We partition the system into cells in order to carry out the reactive multiparticle collisions. The partition of the multicomponent system into collision cells is shown schematically in Fig. 7. In each cell, independently of the other cells, reactive and nonreactive collisions occur at times x. The nonreactive collisions can be carried out as described earlier for multi-component systems. The reactive collisions occur by birth-death stochastic rules. Such rules can be constructed to conserve mass, momentum, and energy. This is especially useful for coupling reactions to fluid flow. The reactive collision model can also be applied to far-from-equilibrium situations, where certain species are held fixed by constraints. In this case conservation laws... 

Multiparticle collision dynamics describes the interactions in a many-body system in terms of effective collisions that occur at discrete time intervals. Although the dynamics is a simplified representation of real dynamics, it conserves mass, momentum, and energy and preserves phase space volumes. Consequently, it retains many of the basic characteristics of classical Newtonian dynamics. The statistical mechanical basis of multiparticle collision dynamics is well established. Starting with the specification of the dynamics and the collision model, one may verify its dynamical properties, derive macroscopic laws, and, perhaps most importantly, obtain expressions for the transport coefficients. These features distinguish MPC dynamics from a number of other mesoscopic schemes. In order to describe solute motion in solution, MPC dynamics may be combined with molecular dynamics to construct hybrid schemes that can be used to explore a variety of phenomena. The fact that hydrodynamic interactions are properly accounted for in hybrid MPC-MD dynamics makes it a useful tool for the investigation of polymer and colloid dynamics. Since it is a particle-based scheme it incorporates fluctuations so that the reactive and nonreactive dynamics in small systems where such effects are important can be studied. 

In Eqs. (5.1) and (5.2), m is the reduced mass of the colliding system, V is the interaction potential at ion-molecule separation r, 6 is the angle between the direction of r and the center-of-mass velocity, and the dot indicates differentiation with respect to time. Integration of (5.1) just gives the angular momentum L, which is conserved in the collision. Substitution in (5.2) gives... 

In the LB technique, the fluid to be simulated consists of a large set of fictitious particles. Essentially, the LB technique boils down to tracking a collection of these fictitious particles residing on a regular lattice. A typical lattice that is commonly used for the effective simulation of the NS equations (Somers, 1993) is a 3-D projection of a 4-D face-centred hypercube. This projected lattice has 18 velocity directions. Every time step, the particles move synchronously along these directions to neighboring lattice sites where they collide. The collisions at the lattice sites have to conserve mass and momentum and obey the so-called collision operator comprising a set of collision rules. The characteristic features of the LB technique are the distribution of particle densities over the various directions, the lattice velocities, and the collision rules. 

This model consists of a one-dimensional chain of elastically colliding particles with alternate masses m and M. In order to prevent total momentum conservation we confine the motion of particles of mass M (bars) inside separate cells. Schematically the model is shown in Fig.4 particles with mass m move horizontally and collide with bars of mass M which, besides suffering collisions with the particles, are elastically reflected back at the edges of their cells. In between collisions, particles and bars move freely. 

A spray is a turbulent, two-phase, particle-laden jet with droplet collision, coalescence, evaporation (solidification), and dispersion, as well as heat, mass and momentum exchanges between droplets and gas. In spray modeling, the flow of gas phase is simulated typically by solving a series of conservation equations coupled with the equations for spray process. The governing equations for the gas phase include the equations of mass, momentum and energy... 

The conservation of energy and momentum is the fundamental requirement which determines the behavior of the SE s in metals, semiconductors, and ionic compounds irradiated by particles. Although we shall not deal with the basic physics of elementary collision processes in our context of chemical kinetics, let us briefly summarize some important results of collision dynamics which we need for the further discussion. If a particle of mass mP and (kinetic) energy EP collides with a SE of mass ms in a crystal, the fraction of EP which is transferred in this collision process to the SE is given by...
