Simulations Definition and 116 Threads

I have just embarked upon a PhD in Lattice QCD. I'm wondering, what is research like in other areas of theoretical particle physics? Lattice is highly computational and fairly light on theory so it seems a lot of people in the field spend quite a bit of time making/updating and running large...

Hi: I am working on a quantum dynamics simulator that can perhaps be used to learn quantum mechanics without resorting to the formalism. This approach may have a great potential. Here are some links to some results: 1. http://mw.concord.org/modeler1.3/mirror/quantum/coulomb.html...

Hi guys, I hope you can give me any idea about: After a long molecular dynamic simulation of a polymer under periodic boundary conditions, dihedral and total energies are lower than zero, (negative). do you know the physical meaning of that result? thanks for reading and for your help...

I am writing a program to do some orbital simulations. For ease of conversation, let's start with the sun and the earth. If the Earth were standing still, the sun would pull it in quite rapidly. As the Earth is moving at about 1.47 kilometers per second, that movement creates a force opposing...

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to statistics, so I'm hoping that there's an easy answer to my question (this is the good part of ignorance): If I have run a set of Monte Carlo simulations of some process, where I have some set of input parameters that I've drawn from known distributions...

I've heard stories about how computer simulations can be used to deal with some quantum mechanical systems, that cannot be solved exactly (for example systems with 10, 20, or 100 interacting particles) even though the number of particles is small enough that some explicit solutions do exist in...

Does anyone know of any good online physics games or simulations?

where can i find a page to get laser simulations or laser models?. thanx

I'm not a chem guy so I thought I'd ask here. To what extent can the labs be replaced with simulations? Computers have come a long way & nothing's changed so I figure I must be missing something.

Hallo everybody! Is there anybody dealing with CMS stuff? Let's share infos here, and let's discuss the stuff related to Compact Muon Solenoid experiment simulations. I am a student, and have to work on H-->2mu ee- (Higgs to muon+ muon- electron positron) Plz, leave here any related...

A growing collection of (now 40+) Windows-executables (work fine under Wine) focusing on math, physics, computer sciences and chemistry can be found here: http://www.vias.org/simulations/index.html" Some of these little programs (no installation needed, Creative Commons License) I found...

Hey, I want to write a Computer Simulation in C++, which simulates the development of a DNA sequence with a probability to mutate x in one "generation". I do have a variable number (=n) of copies of this DNA. Now one might think, to simulate the mutation by simply: sum(n*Poisson distributed...

I will be applying to graduate school this coming winter, and I'm having difficulty deciding what field I should be directing my effort towards. My background: I have a bachelor's a physics, and my senior project was to write an N-body program that simulated galaxy collisions with the inclusion...

Scope The MMSNF Workshops aim at stimulating research and discussions on modelling and simulations of nuclear fuels and coupling the results with fuel performance codes. The aspect of fission-product modelling (not only important for fuel performance but also with respect to safety) is...

I have always read about simulations being done by computer softwares concerning cosmology and astrophysics, do you know if any of the simulations softwares are offered (hopefully, free :approve: ) on the web? thanks in advance. p.s do these softwares work on assembly environment...

Do you know any tutorials for percolation simulations? Thanks a ton! Carter Note: sorry, just don't know the correct place to post in.
