Abstract

We present new results for the current as a function of transmission rate in the one dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) with a blockage that lowers the jump rate at one site from one to r < 1. Exact finite volume results serve to bound the allowed values for the current in the infinite system. This proves the existence of a gap in allowed density corresponding to a nonequilibrium ``phase transition'' in the infinite system. A series expansion in r, derived from the finite systems, is proven to be asymptotic for all sufficiently large systems. Pade approximants based on this series, which make specific assumptions about the nature of the singularity at r = 1, match numerical data for the ``infinite'' system to a part in 10^4.

Exact results for deterministic cellular automata traffic models

We present a rigorous derivation of the flow at arbitrary time in a deterministic cellular automaton model of traffic flow. The derivation employs regularities in preimages of blocks of zeros, reducing the problem of preimage enumeration to a well known lattice path counting problem. Assuming infinite lattice size and random initial configuration, the flow can be expressed in terms of generalized hypergeometric function. We show that the steady state limit agrees with previously published results.

A new discrete velocity method for Navier-Stokes equations

The relation between Latttice Boltzmann Method, which has recently become popular, and the Kinetic Schemes, which are routinely used in Computational Fluid Dynamics, is explored. A new discrete velocity model for the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluid flow is presented by combining both the approaches. The new scheme can be interpreted as a pseudo-compressibility method and, for a particular choice of parameters, this interpretation carries over to the Lattice Boltzmann Method.

Construction of Molecular Dynamics Like Cellular Automata Models for Simulation of Compressible Fluid Dynamic Systems

This study aims at finding a method for constructing molecular dynamics like models using the formalism of cellular automata for fast simulation of fluid dynamic systems (including compressible phenomena). In as much as the results indicate, the attempt is successful. A systematic method for constructing cellular automata models of fluid dynamic systems is discovered and proposed following a review of the existing developments. The considerations required for constructing such models for fluid dynamic systems consisting of particles with arbitrary interaction potentials and existing over arbitrary spatial lattices are outlined. The method is illustrated by constructing a model for simulation of systems of particles moving with unit speed along the links of an underlying square spatial lattice. Using this model, two two-dimensional systems are simulated and studied for a number of model and system parameters. For almost all the model and system parameters, the results are found to be in complete agreement with the available theoretical predictions. For some model parameters, results show (expected) departure from theoretical predictions which is explained.
