Ensemble averaging, dynamics

Thus, unlike molecular dynamics or Langevin dynamics, which calculate ensemble averages by calculating averages over time, Monte Carlo calculations evaluate ensemble averages directly by sampling configurations from the statistical ensemble. [Pg.96]

This section provides an alternative measurement for a material parameter the one in the ensemble averaged sense to pave the way for usage of continuum theory from a hope that useful engineering predictions can be made. More details can be found in Ref. [15]. In fact, macroscopic flow equations developed from molecular dynamics simulations agree well with the continuum mechanics prediction (for instance. Ref. [16]). [Pg.64]

The Boltzmann constant is represented by kB. It is more difficult to use Monte Carlo methods to investigate dynamic events as there is no intrinsic concept of time but an ensemble average over the generated states of the system should give the same equilibrium thermodynamic properties as the MD methods. A good review of both MD and the Monte Carlo methods can be found in the book by Frenkel and Smit [40]. [Pg.693]

There are two important consequences of this equality for computer simulations of many-body systems. First, it means that statistically averaged properties of these systems are accessible from simulations that are aimed at generating trajectories -e.g., molecular dynamics, or ensemble averages such as Monte Carlo. Furthermore, for sufficiently long trajectories, the time-averaged properties become independent of the initial conditions. Stated differently, it means that for almost all values of qo, Po, the system will pass arbitrarily close to any point x, p, in phase space at some later time. [Pg.23]

Inner slip, between the solid wall and an adsorbed film, will also influence the surface-liquid boundary conditions and have important effects on stress propagation from the liquid to the solid substrate. Linked to this concept, especially on a biomolecular level, is the concept of stochastic coupling. At the molecular level, small fluctuations about the ensemble average could affect the interfacial dynamics and lead to large shifts in the detectable boundary condition. One of our main interests in this area is to study the relaxation time of interfacial bonds using slip models. Stochastic boundary conditions could also prove to be all but necessary in modeling the behavior and interactions of biomolecules at surfaces, especially with the proliferation of microfluidic chemical devices and the importance of studying small scales. [Pg.82]

To summarize, the results presented for five representative examples of nonadiabatic dynamics demonstrate the ability of the MFT method to account for a qualitative description of the dynamics in case of processes involving two electronic states. The origin of the problems to describe the correct long-time relaxation dynamics as well as multi-state processes will be discussed in more detail in Section VI. Despite these problems, it is surprising how this simplest MQC method can describe complex nonadiabatic dynamics. Other related approximate methods such as the quantum-mechanical TDSCF approximation have been found to completely fail to account for the long-time behavior of the electronic dynamics (see Fig. 10). This is because the standard Hartree ansatz in the TDSCF approach neglects all correlations between the dynamical DoF, whereas the ensemble average performed in the MFT treatment accounts for the static correlation of the problem. [Pg.276]

The theory of statistical mechanics provides the formalism to obtain observables as ensemble averages from the microscopic configurations generated by such a simulation. From both the MC and MD trajectories, ensemble averages can be formed as simple averages of the properties over the set of configurations. From the time-ordered properties of the MD trajectory, additional dynamic information can be calculated via the time correlation function formalism. An autocorrelation function Caa( = (a(r) a(t + r)) is the ensemble average of the product of some function a at time r and at a later time t + r. [Pg.404]
