If in the larger gap strata or the water head gradient higher, the water move subjects to the turbulent motion laws which is as the follow ... 

The goal of this chapter is to describe the fluid motion laws in a very general way based on flow systems rather than vahd for special apparatus in narrow ranges of velocities and flttid properties. At first, fundamental laws of one-phase flows are presented because they are the basis for two- and multiphase flow. 

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF PARTICLE MOTION LAW IN DRILLING FLUID... 

There are many equivalent statements of the second law, some of which involve statements about heat engines and perpetual motion machines of the second kind that appear superficially quite different from equation (A2.T21). They will not be dealt with here, but two variant fonns of equation (A2.T21) may be noted in... 

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. 

In equilibrium statistical mechanics, one is concerned with the thennodynamic and other macroscopic properties of matter. The aim is to derive these properties from the laws of molecular dynamics and thus create a link between microscopic molecular motion and thennodynamic behaviour. A typical macroscopic system is composed of a large number A of molecules occupying a volume V which is large compared to that occupied by a molecule ... 

Consider a gas of N non-interacting diatomic molecules moving in a tln-ee-dimensional system of volume V. Classically, the motion of a diatomic molecule has six degrees of freedom—tln-ee translational degrees corresponding to the centre of mass motion, two more for the rotational motion about the centre of mass and one additional degree for the vibrational motion about the centre of mass. The equipartition law gives (... 

Due to the conservation law, the diffiision field 5 j/ relaxes in a time much shorter than tlie time taken by significant interface motion. If the domain size is R(x), the difhision field relaxes over a time scale R Flowever a typical interface velocity is shown below to be R. Thus in time Tq, interfaces move a distanc of about one, much smaller compared to R. This implies that the difhision field 6vj is essentially always in equilibrium with tlie interfaces and, thus, obeys Laplace s equation... 

Molecular dynamics consists of the brute-force solution of Newton s equations of motion. It is necessary to encode in the program the potential energy and force law of interaction between molecules the equations of motion are solved numerically, by finite difference techniques. The system evolution corresponds closely to what happens in real life and allows us to calculate dynamical properties, as well as thennodynamic and structural fiinctions. For a range of molecular models, packaged routines are available, either connnercially or tlirough the academic conmuinity. 

It is convenient to analyse tliese rate equations from a dynamical systems point of view similar to tliat used in classical mechanics where one follows tire trajectories of particles in phase space. For tire chemical rate law (C3.6.2) tire phase space , conventionally denoted by F, is -dimensional and tire chemical concentrations, CpC2,- are taken as ortliogonal coordinates of F, ratlier tlian tire particle positions and velocities used as tire coordinates in mechanics. In analogy to classical mechanical systems, as tire concentrations evolve in time tliey will trace out a trajectory in F. Since tire velocity functions in tire system of ODEs (C3.6.2) do not depend explicitly on time, a given initial condition in F will always produce tire same trajectory. The vector R of velocity functions in (C3.6.2) defines a phase-space (or trajectory) flow and in it is often convenient to tliink of tliese ODEs as describing tire motion of a fluid in F with velocity field/ (c p). 

As already mentioned, the motion of a chaotic flow is sensitive to initial conditions [H] points which initially he close together on the attractor follow paths that separate exponentially fast. This behaviour is shown in figure C3.6.3 for the WR chaotic attractor at /c 2=0.072. The instantaneous rate of separation depends on the position on the attractor. However, a chaotic orbit visits any region of the attractor in a recurrent way so that an infinite time average of this exponential separation taken along any trajectory in the attractor is an invariant quantity that characterizes the attractor. If y(t) is a trajectory for the rate law fc3.6.2] then we can linearize the motion in the neighbourhood of y to get... 

In photochemistry, we are interested in the system dynamics after the interaction of a molecule with light. The absorption specbum of a molecule is thus of primary interest which, as will be shown here, can be related to the nuclear motion after excitation by tbe capture of a photon. Experimentally, the spectrum is given by the Beer-Lambert law... 

As a simple example of a normal mode calculation consider the linear triatomic system ir Figure 5.16. We shall just consider motion along the long axis of the molecule. The displace ments of the atoms from their equilibrium positions along this axis are denoted by It i assumed that the displacements are small compared with the equilibrium values Iq and th( system obeys Hooke s law with bond force constants k. The potential energy is given by ... 

In molecular dynamics, successive configurations of the system are generated by integrating Newton s laws of motion. The result is a trajectory that specifies how the positions and velocities of the particles in the system vary with time. Newton s laws of motion can be stated as follows ... 

It is helpful to distinguish three different types of problem to which Newton s laws of motion may be applied. In the simplest case, no force acts on each particle between collisions. From one collision to the next, the position of the particle thus changes by v,5f, where v, is the (constant) velocity and 6t is the time between collisions. In the second situation, the particle experiences a constant force between collisions. An example of this type of motion would be that of a charged particle moving in tr uniform electric field. In the third case, the force on the particle depends on its position relative to the other particles. Here the motion is often very difficult, if not impossible, to describe analytically, due to the coupled nature of the particles motions. 

The equation of motion is based on the law of conservation of momentum (Newton s second law of motion). This equation is written as... 

The force on one nucleus due to sPetching or compressing the bond is equal to the force constant of the bond k times the distance between the nuclei x2 — xi). It is equal and opposite to the force acting on the other nucleus, and it is also equal to the mass times the acceleration x by Newton s second law (see section on the hamionic oscillator in Chapter 4). The equations of motion are... 

F(t)=Zk QcVk exp(-itEk/fe). The relative amplitudes Ck are determined by knowledge of the state at the initial time this depends on how the system has been prepared in an earlier experiment. Just as Newton s laws of motion do not fully determine the time evolution of a elassieal system (i.e., the eoordinates and momenta must be known at some initial time), the Sehrodinger equation must be aeeompanied by initial eonditions to fully determine T(qj,t). 

Rather than solve a Schrodinger equation with the Nuclear Hamiltonian (above), a common approximation is to assume that atoms are heavy enough so that classical mechanics is a good enough approximation. Motion of the particles on the potential surface, according to the laws of classical mechanics, is then the subject of classical trajectory analysis or molecular dynamics. These come about by replacing Equation (7) on page 164 with its classical equivalent ... 

The classical-mechanical problem for the vibrational motion may now be solved using Newton s second law. The force on the x component of the i atom is... 

We defined the equation of motion as a general expression of Newton s second law applied to a volume element of fluid subject to forces arising from pressure, viscosity, and external mechanical sources. Although we shall not attempt to use this result in its most general sense, it is informative to consider the equation of motion as it applies to a specific problem the flow of liquid through a capillary. This consideration provides not only a better appreciation of the equation of... 

Just as the electrical behaviour of a real diatomic molecule is not accurately harmonic, neither is its mechanical behaviour. The potential function, vibrational energy levels and wave functions shown in Figure f.i3 were derived by assuming that vibrational motion obeys Hooke s law, as expressed by Equation (1.63), but this assumption is reasonable only... 

Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo Simulations. At the heart of the method of molecular dynamics is a simulation model consisting of potential energy functions, or force fields. Molecular dynamics calculations represent a deterministic method, ie, one based on the assumption that atoms move according to laws of Newtonian mechanics. Molecular dynamics simulations can be performed for short time-periods, eg, 50—100 picoseconds, to examine localized very high frequency motions, such as bond length distortions, or, over much longer periods of time, eg, 500—2000 ps, in order to derive equiUbrium properties. It is worthwhile to summarize what properties researchers can expect to evaluate by performing molecular simulations ...
