It is demonstrated that when these traditional wall boundary conditions are used, the resulting formulations allow either an infinite number of solutions or no solution. Furthermore, these solutions do not enforce energy conservation and they do not properly enforce the no-slip condition at a smooth surface. This is true for all dissipation-based turbulence models, including the k-{epsilon}, k-{omega}, and k-{zeta} models. Physically correct wall boundary conditions must force both k and its gradient to zero at a smooth wall. Enforcing these two boundary conditions on k is sufficient to determine a unique solution to the coupled system of differential transport equations. There is no need to impose any wall boundary condition on {epsilon}, {omega}, or {zeta} at a smooth surface and it is incorrect to do so. The behavior of {epsilon}, {omega}, or {zeta} approaching a smooth surface is that required to satisfy the differential equations and force both k and its gradient to zero at the wall.","PeriodicalId":8424,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Computational Physics","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91108602","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}

The numerical method developed here exploits certain basic properties of the Hilbert transform to achieve the desired reduction of the non-local and non-linear equations characterizing the generalized Peierls-Nabarro model to a local fixed point iteration scheme. The method is validated with simple examples involving the 1D Peierls-Nabarro model corresponding to a sinusoidal stacking fault energy, and with calculations of the core structure of both edge and screw dislocations on the close-packed ${111}$ planes in Aluminium. An approximate technique to incorporate external stresses within the framework of the proposed iterative scheme is also discussed with applications to the equilibration of a dislocation dipole. Finally, the advantages, limitations and avenues for future extension of the proposed method are discussed.","PeriodicalId":8424,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Computational Physics","volume":"187 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76874759","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}

Here, we develop an improved variant of the CGCNN model (iCGCNN) that outperforms the original by incorporating information of the Voronoi tessellated crystal structure, explicit 3-body correlations of neighboring constituent atoms, and an optimized chemical representation of interatomic bonds in the crystal graphs. We demonstrate the accuracy of the improved framework in two distinct illustrations: First, when trained/validated on 180,000/20,000 density functional theory (DFT) calculated thermodynamic stability entries taken from the Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD) and evaluated on a separate test set of 230,000 entries, iCGCNN achieves a predictive accuracy that is significantly improved, i.e., 20% higher than that of the original CGCNN. Second, when used to assist high-throughput search for materials in the ThCr2Si2 structure-type, iCGCNN exhibited a success rate of 31% which is 310 times higher than an undirected high-throughput search and 2.4 times higher than that of the original CGCNN. Using both CGCNN and iCGCNN, we screened 132,600 compounds with elemental decorations of the ThCr2Si2 prototype crystal structure and identified a total of 97 new unique stable compounds by performing 757 DFT calculations, accelerating the computational time of the high-throughput search by a factor of 130. Our results suggest that the iCGCNN can be used to accelerate high-throughput discoveries of new materials by quickly and accurately identifying crystalline compounds with properties of interest.","PeriodicalId":8424,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Computational Physics","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90490760","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}

Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that magnetism in such electron-rich two-dimensional (2D) materials originates from the anionic electrons rather than partially filled d orbitals, which is fundamentally different from ferromagnetism found in other 2D intrinsic magnetic materials. Taking the honeycomb LaBr$_2$ (La$^{3+}$Br$^{-}_{2}cdot e^{-}$) as an example, our calculations reveal that the excess electron is localized at the center of the hexagon, which leads to strong Stoner-instability of the associated states at the Fermi energy, resulting in spontaneous magnetization and formation of a local moment. The overlap of extended tails of the wave functions of these electrons mediates a long-range ferromagnetic interaction, contributing to a Curie temperature ($T_textrm{c}$) of 235 K and a coercive field ($H_textrm{c}$) of 0.53 T, which can be further enhanced by hole doping. The dual nature, localization and extension, of the electronic states suggests a unique mechanism in such magnetic-element-free electrenes as intrinsic 2D ferromagnets.","PeriodicalId":8424,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Computational Physics","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82903669","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}

The model has been shown to be a reasonable representation of what occurs in the fully three-dimensional hydrogen atom. Our results show that while many numerically simple (low order) propagation schemes work, they often require quite small time-steps. Comparing them against more accurate methods, which may require more work per time-step but allow much larger time-steps, can be illuminating. We show that at least in this problem, the compute time for a number of the more accurate methods is actually less than lower order schemes.

As there are many uncertainties inherent in such flows, uncertainty quantification is fundamental to improve the predictive capabilities of the numerical simulations. For large-scale, multi-physics problems exhibiting high-dimensional uncertainty, characterizing the stochastic solution presents a significant computational challenge as many methods require a large number of high-fidelity solves. This requirement results in the need for a possibly infeasible number of simulations when a typical converged high-fidelity simulation requires intensive computational resources. To reduce the cost of quantifying high-dimensional uncertainties, we investigate the application of a non-intrusive, bi-fidelity approximation to estimate statistics of quantities of interest associated with an irradiated particle-laden turbulent flow. This method relies on exploiting the low-rank structure of the solution to accelerate the stochastic sampling and approximation processes by means of cheaper-to-run, lower fidelity representations. The application of this bi-fidelity approximation results in accurate estimates of the QoI statistics while requiring a small number of high-fidelity model evaluations.","PeriodicalId":8424,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Computational Physics","volume":"439 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82869302","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}
