Abstract

Introduced is a lattice-gas with long-range 2-body interactions. An effective inter-particle force is mediated by momentum exchanges. There exists the possibility of having both attractive and repulsive interactions using finite impact parameter collisions. There also exists an interesting possibility of coupling these long-range interactions to a heat bath. A fixed temperature heat bath induces a permanent net attractive interparticle potential, but at the expense of reversibility. Thus the long-range dynamics is a kind of a Monte Carlo Kawasaki updating scheme. The model has a $PρT$ equation of state. Presented are analytical and numerical results for the a lattice-gas fluid governed by a nonideal equation of state. The model's complexity is not much beyond that of the FHP lattice-gas. It is suitable for massively parallel processing and may be used to study critical phenomena in large systems.

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.
