    Classical Domain
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the classical Ising model on a 2-D square lattice with no external field, focusing on the average internal energy per site at criticality, which is calculated to be u = -√2 when the coupling constant J is set to 1. The query involves determining the average number of domain walls per site, given that each domain wall contributes an energy of 2. The ground state energy is established as -2N, and the goal is to find the number of domain walls needed to raise the energy to -√2N. The derived equation, n_walls/N = (2 - √2)/2, is proposed as a solution to this energy transition. The logic and calculations presented appear to be sound and consistent with the principles of the Ising model.

Hi all,
I'm trying to see if my question/logic makes sense. Suppose I have a classical Ising model on a 2-D Square lattice with ##N## sites and 0 external field. There is an exact formula for the average internal energy per site, and at criticality it turns out to be ##u = -\sqrt{2}## where I have set the coupling constant ##J=1##. From here, I'd like to know if it is possible to find the average number of domain walls per site. I know each domain wall contributes energy ##2##. Now suppose the system is in its ground state (say all spin-up). Then the ground state energy is ##-2N##. I want to put in domain walls until the system energy increases to ##-\sqrt{2}N##, so we just need to solve ##-2N + 2n_{\text{walls}} = -\sqrt{2}N## and I get ##\frac{n_{\text{walls}}}{N} = \frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{2}##. Does this make sense?
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
Hello! I am generating electrons from a 3D gaussian source. The electrons all have the same energy, but the direction is isotropic. The electron source is in between 2 plates that act as a capacitor, and one of them acts as a time of flight (tof) detector. I know the voltage on the plates very well, and I want to extract the center of the gaussian distribution (in one direction only), by measuring the tof of many electrons. So the uncertainty on the position is given by the tof uncertainty...
