For systems with less than 1000 disks we find that the heat flux vector varies with the square root of the number of disks whereas for systems with more than 1000 disks the heat flux vector varies with the 2/3 power of the number of disks.","PeriodicalId":10561,"journal":{"name":"computational methods in science and technology","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76017969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is based on a generalised velocity of the same generic form as the NH thermostat of Allen and Schmid, [Mol. Sim. 33, 21 (2007)]. An unthermostatted confined region is sandwiched between two walls which are thermostatted. No external shearing is imposed. Non-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (NEMD) simulations were carried out of the time evolution of the wall and confined region temperature after a jump in temperature of the walls. Relaxation of the confined region temperature to the target value was found to be typically slower than that of the wall. An analysis of the system parameter dependence of the lag time, τ , and departures from what would be expected from Fourier’s law suggest that a boundary transmission heat flux bottleneck is a significant factor in the time delay. This delayed thermal equilibration would therefore become an important factor when a time-dependent (e.g., oscillatory) temperature or shearing of the walls is implemented using NEMD. Adjustments between the response time of the wall thermostat should be made compatible with that of the rest of the system, to minimise its effects on the observed behaviour.","PeriodicalId":10561,"journal":{"name":"computational methods in science and technology","volume":"84 1","pages":"211-218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83869319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work we consider database classifiers formed of interacting droplets in which a photosensitive variant of Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction proceeds. We introduce an evolutionary algorithm that searches for optimal construction of a droplets-based classifier for a given problem. The algorithm is based on maximizing the mutual information between the database and the observed evolution of medium. As an example application of chemical database classifiers we apply the idea to the dataset of points belonging to a unit cube. The dataset contains two output classes: 1 for points belonging to a sphere with radius 0.5 located in the cube center, and 0 for points outside of the sphere. The reliability of optimized chemical classifiers of such database for different numbers of droplets involved in data processing is presented.","PeriodicalId":10561,"journal":{"name":"computational methods in science and technology","volume":"22 1","pages":"167-177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83727508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to excite the system, we use two external coherent fields. Two oscillators have different frequencies. It follows from numerical simulation that evolution of the system is similar to that of a combination of n-photon states. Therefore, the considered system behaves as so-called nonlinear quantum scissor. Nevertheless, evolution of the system generates Bell-like states in several times with very high probability. Because of the nonlinear properties of oscillators and their interaction, the system creates a truncation of optical states, which leads to obtain two-qubit states. It will also be shown that these states appear several times in the qutrit-qutrit system.","PeriodicalId":10561,"journal":{"name":"computational methods in science and technology","volume":"21 1","pages":"245-252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74023277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Monte Carlo simulations of these models were carried out using Metropolis-like algorithms appropriate for each model: the one-bead displacement and the backrub algorithm.

Normal load has been applied on the boundary of the existing media that is supposed to be permeated by a primary uniform magnetic field. We employ both the parabolic type (dual phase-lag magneto-thermoelasticity of type I (MTDPL-I)) and hyperbolic type (dual phase-lag magneto-thermoelasticity of type II (MTDPL-II)) dual phase-lag heat conduction models to account for the interactions among the magnetic, elastic and thermal fields. The integral transform technique is applied to solve the present problem and the analytical results of both cases have been obtained separately. A detailed analysis of results has been made in order to understand the nature of waves propagating inside the medium and the effects of the phase-lag parameters. The effect of the presence of magnetic field has been highlighted. Numerical results have also been obtained to analyze the effect of magnetic field on the behavior of the solution more clearly and a detailed analysis of the results predicted by two models has been presented. It has been noted that in some cases there are significant differences in the solution obtained in the contexts of MTDPL-I and MTDPL-II theory of magneto-thermoelasticity.","PeriodicalId":10561,"journal":{"name":"computational methods in science and technology","volume":"33 1","pages":"201-215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73697507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
