Collision operators

Consider site east neighbor. The corresponding collision operator Ci... 

Two and Three Particle Collision Operator for the FHP LG Let us look more closely at the form of the LG collision operator for a hexagonal lattice. Conceptually, it is constructed in almost the same manner as its continuous counterpart. In particular, we must examine, at each site, the gain and loss of particles along a given direction. 

This projection is constant on a free path and changes only at collision moments (tk) when rotation of the GF z axis takes place Jo(tk + 0) = 12q Tq0Jq (tk — 0). The collision operator t is expressed in terms of the operator D, which rotates the coordinate frame [23] ... 

In a similar spirit, Inoue et al. [120] and Hashimoto et al. [121] generalized MPC dynamics so that the collision operator reflects the species compositions in the neighborhood of a chosen cell. More specifically, consider a binary mixture of particles with different colors. The color of particle i is denoted by c,-. The color flux of particles with color c in cell E, is defined as...

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. 

The time-dependent operator G00(r) describes the most general collision process between the particles in the system it generalizes to an arbitrary system the well-known Boltzmann collision operator for dilute gases. 

Together with Eq. (66), this equation describes exactly the linear response of the system to an external field, with arbitrary initial conditions. Its physical meaning is very simple and may be explained precisely as for Eq. (66) 32 the evolution of the velocity distribution results in two effects (1) the dissipative collisions between the particles which are described by the same non-Markoffian collision operator G0o(T) 35 1 the field-free case and (2) the acceleration of the particles due to the external field. As we are interested in a linear theory, this acceleration only affects the zeroth-order distribution function It is... 

The logarithmic dependence in Eq. (309) is, of course, characteristic of dissipation due to screened long-range forces. Provided we are only interested in the C1/2 correction (limiting law), we may neglect this term also and we are thus left with the collision operator (304). ... 

This equation is readily transformed to an integral equation for different from i and in <— k,- Y(z] — k )) never appear in two successive collision operators because otherwise we would get a negligible contribution in the limit of an infinite system moreover as these dummy particles have zero wave vectors in the initial state, they have a Maxwellian distribution of velocities (see Eq. (418)). This allows us to write Eq. (A.74) in the compact form ... 

This formula is valid as soon as (Aco)-1, where Aco is the interval over which f(a>) varies appreciably. This interval is here the line width and (Aco)-1 plays the role of a collision time. We now analyse successively the various terms of the collision operator. 

Having obtained two simultaneous equations for the singlet and doublet correlation functions, X and, these have to be solved. Furthermore, Kapral has pointed out that these correlations do not contain any spatial dependence at equilibrium because the direct and indirect correlations of position in an equilibrium fluid (static structures) have not been included into the psuedo-Liouville collision operators, T, [285]. Ignoring this point, Kapral then transformed the equation for the singlet density, by means of a Laplace transformation, which removes the time derivative from the equation. Using z as the Laplace transform parameter to avoid confusion with S as the solvent index, gives... 

Most of the techniques necessary have already been introduced in the previous analysis. However, it is necessary to follow the concentration and therefore the singlet and doublet densities of A, AB and also C and CB. These are ff, /f and The collision operator of eqn. (306) is no longer adequate because it describes the collision of A and B to form C and B. An equivalent term for the collision of C and B to give A and B must also be introduced into eqn. (194) for the singlet density of A. These two terms then describe the rate of loss of A by reaction of A with B and the back reaction forming A and B from C and B... 

The second term on the right-hand side is the recombination probability, — q(z). Now, X2B a0b is the doublet density f2n and hence the recombination probability is the negative of the integral (or average) over all wave vectors, q, and velocities of A and B (vj and v2) of the reactive collision operator, TAB, and the doublet distribution of A and B, fAB. 

In this equation, G(t) is a generalized collision operator defined formally in terms of all irreducible transitions from vacuum of correlations to vacuum of correlations. A fundamental role is played by the Laplace transform /(z) of G(t). 

We would like to emphasize a third aspect. Each term in the collision operator now contains the correct 8-function expressing conservation of energy. It is, therefore, in terms of these equations that we may describe in a simple way the production and destruction processes involving unstable particles or excited states. It is interesting to note that while in the usual dynamical picture excited states are broad ( uncertainty principle ... 

Now a density expansion of the collision operator in Eq. (331) can be performed and the first few terms in this expansion are [57]... 

In the above expression, C (pi z) is the finite frequency generalization of the Boltzmann-Lorentz collision operator. Cq1 (pi z) can be described by the finite frequency generalization of the Choh-Uhlenbeck collision operator. [57]. This operator describes the dynamical correlations created by the collisions between three particles. Using the above-mentioned description the expression of (pi z) can be shown to be written as [57]...
