Corner transfer matrix renormalization group approach in the zoo of Archimedean lattices

Wed, 04/17/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): I. V. Lukin and A. G. Sotnikov

We develop a new methodology to contract tensor networks within the corner transfer matrix renormalization group approach for a wide range of two-dimensional lattice geometries. We discuss contraction algorithms on the example of triangular, kagome, honeycomb, square-octagon, star, ruby, square-hexa…

Author(s): Vyacheslav Mozolenko and Lev Shchur

We present a modification of the Rose-Machta algorithm [N. Rose and J. Machta, Phys. Rev. E 100, 063304 (2019)] and estimate the density of states for a two-dimensional Blume-Capel model, simulating 105 replicas in parallel for each set of parameters. We perform a finite-size analysis of the specifi…

Metastable and unstable hydrodynamics in multiphase lattice Boltzmann

Mon, 04/15/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): Matteo Lulli, Luca Biferale, Giacomo Falcucci, Mauro Sbragaglia, Dong Yang, and Xiaowen Shan

Metastability in liquids is at the foundation of complex phase transformation dynamics such as nucleation and cavitation. Intermolecular interaction details, beyond the equation of state, and thermal hydrodynamic fluctuations play a crucial role. However, most numerical approaches suffer from a slow…

Klein-Gordon equation on a Lagrange mesh

Wed, 04/10/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): Daniel Baye

The Lagrange-mesh method is an approximate variational method which provides accurate solutions of the Schrödinger equation for bound-state and scattering few-body problems. The stationary Klein-Gordon equation depends quadratically on the energy. For a central potential, it is solved on a Lagrange-…

Auto-ejection of liquid from a nozzle

Mon, 04/08/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): Fang Shan, Zhenhua Chai, and Baochang Shi

Auto-ejection of liquid is an important process in engineering applications, and is also very complicated since it involves interface moving, deforming, and jet breaking up. In this work, a theoretical velocity of meniscus at nozzle exit is first derived, which can be used to analyze the critical co…

Hybrid lattice-Boltzmann–finite-difference approach for the simulation of micro-phase-change-material slurry in convective flow

Fri, 04/05/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): Anas Ghannam, Eiyad Abu-Nada, and Anas Alazzam

In this paper, we present a hybrid numerical scheme that couples the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) with the finite difference method (FDM) to model micro-phase-change-material (MPCM) suspensions in a minichannel. Within this framework, the LBM was employed to solve the continuity, momentum, and ene…

Nonisospectral water wave field: Fast and adaptive modal identification and prediction via reduced-order nonlinear solutions

Thu, 03/28/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): Long-Yuan Zhang, Jia-Zhi Li, Yu-Kun Chen, and Wen-Yang Duan

Real-world water wave fields exhibit significant nonlinear and nonisospectral characteristics, making it challenging to predict their evolution by relying solely on numerical simulation or exact solutions using integrable system theory. Hence, this paper introduces a fast and adaptive method of moda…

Author(s): A. Tentori, C. Larmier, J. Durand, B. Cochet, and A. Zoia

In this work we propose a modified Chord Length Sampling (CLS) algorithm, endowed with two layers of “memory effects,” aimed at solving particle transport problems in one-dimensional spatially nonhomogeneous Markov media. CLS algorithms are a family of Monte Carlo methods which account for the stoch…

Color-gradient-based phase-field equation for multiphase flow

Fri, 03/08/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): Reza Haghani, Hamidreza Erfani, James E. McClure, Eirik Grude Flekkøy, and Carl Fredrik Berg

In this paper, the underlying problem with the color-gradient (CG) method in handling density-contrast fluids is explored. It is shown that the CG method is not fluid invariant. Based on nondimensionalizing the CG method, a phase-field interface-capturing model is proposed which tackles the difficul…

Wave amplitude gain within wedge waveguides through scattering by simple obstacles

Author(s): A. L. Azevedo, A. C. Maioli, F. Teston, M. R. Sales, F. M. Zanetti, and M. G. E. da Luz

Wave confinement, e.g., in waveguides, gives rise to a huge number of distinct phenomena. Among them, amplitude gain is a recurrent and relevant effect in undulatory processes. Using a general purpose protocol to solve wave equations, the boundary wall method, we demonstrate that for relatively simp…

Interpretable conservation laws as sparse invariants

Tue, 02/27/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): Ziming Liu, Patrick Obin Sturm, Saketh Bharadwaj, Sam J. Silva, and Max Tegmark

Discovering conservation laws for a given dynamical system is important but challenging. In a theorist setup (differential equations and basis functions are both known), we propose the sparse invariant detector (SID), an algorithm that autodiscovers conservation laws from differential equations. Its…

Phase-field lattice Boltzmann model with singular mobility for quasi-incompressible two-phase flows

Thu, 02/15/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): Jin Bao and Zhaoli Guo

In this paper, a lattice Boltzmann for quasi-incompressible two-phase flows is proposed based on the Cahn-Hilliard phase-field theory, which can be viewed as an improved model of a previous one [Yang and Guo, Phys. Rev. E 93, 043303 (2016)]. The model is composed of two LBE's, one for the Cahn-Hilli…

In this paper, we develop a macroscopic finite-difference scheme from the mesoscopic regularized lattice Boltzmann (RLB) method to solve the Navier-Stokes equations (NSEs) and convection-diffusion equation (CDE). Unlike the commonly used RLB method based on the evolution of a set of distribution fun…

Author(s): Clement Charles, Erik J. Gustafson, Elizabeth Hardt, Florian Herren, Norman Hogan, Henry Lamm, Sara Starecheski, Ruth S. Van de Water, and Michael L. Wagman

The utility of quantum computers for simulating lattice gauge theories is currently limited by the noisiness of the physical hardware. Various quantum error mitigation strategies exist to reduce the statistical and systematic uncertainties in quantum simulations via improved algorithms and analysis …

Energy, temperature, and heat capacity in discrete classical dynamics

Wed, 01/24/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): Søren Toxvaerd

Simulations of objects with classical dynamics are in fact a particular version of discrete dynamics, since almost all the classical dynamics simulations in natural science are performed with the use of the simple “leapfrog” or “Verlet” algorithm. It was, however, Newton who in Principia, Propositio…
