AI Thread Summary

In Monte Carlo simulations using the Wolff algorithm for the 2D/3D Ising and classical 3D Heisenberg models, a common guideline is to set decorrelation steps to 10 times the lattice size (10*L) to ensure independent measurements of observables, especially near critical temperatures. This recommendation aims to minimize autocorrelation in the data collected during simulations. However, the effectiveness of this rule can vary based on specific system parameters and conditions. Researchers are encouraged to validate the decorrelation step by monitoring the convergence of observables. Ultimately, ensuring adequate decorrelation is crucial for obtaining reliable simulation results.

TL;DR Summary: Decorrelation steps in Wolff algorithm

Hello all,

I am doing a monte Carlo simulation using Wolff algorithm for the 2D/3D Ising and classical 3D Heisenberg model, I have been told that the rule of thumb is to make your decorrelation steps = 10*L where L is the size of lattice, and this is would be sufficient enough to make independent measurements for observables even near the critical temperature

So what is recommendation really ?

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
