MD&MC There are two dominant methods of simulation for complex many particle systems 1)Molecular Dynamics Solve the classical equations of motion from mechanics. Particles interact via a given interaction potential. ● Deterministic behaviour(within numerical precision). Find temporal evolution. 2)Monte Carlo Simulation ● Find mean values (expectation values)of some system components. Random behaviour from given probability distribution laws. The Monte Carlo technique is a very far spread technique, because it is not limited to systems of particles.There are two dominant methods of simulation for complex many particle systems 1) Molecular Dynamics • Solve the classical equations of motion from mechanics. • Particles interact via a given interaction potential. • Deterministic behaviour (within numerical precision). • Find temporal evolution. 2) Monte Carlo Simulation • Find mean values (expectation values) of some system components. • Random behaviour from given probability distribution laws.
