Closely related to Classical Mechanics, Molecular Dynamics |
7 |
|
|
simulations are carried out by integrating the equations of motion |
8 |
|
|
for a given system of particles. There are three fundamental ideas |
9 |
|
|
behind classical mechanics. Firstly, One can determine the state of |
10 |
|
|
a mechanical system at any time of interest; Secondly, all the |
11 |
|
|
mechanical properties of the system at that time can be determined |
12 |
|
|
by combining the knowledge of the properties of the system with the |
13 |
|
|
specification of this state; Finally, the specification of the state |
14 |
|
|
when further combine with the laws of mechanics will also be |
15 |
|
|
sufficient to predict the future behavior of the system. |

\subsection{\label{introSection:newtonian}Newtonian Mechanics} |

2694 |
The discovery of Newton's three laws of mechanics which govern the |
19 |
|
|
motion of particles is the foundation of the classical mechanics. |
20 |
|
|
Newton¡¯s first law defines a class of inertial frames. Inertial |
21 |
|
|
frames are reference frames where a particle not interacting with |
22 |
|
|
other bodies will move with constant speed in the same direction. |
23 |
|
|
With respect to inertial frames Newton¡¯s second law has the form |
24 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
25 |
|
|
F = \frac {dp}{dt} = \frac {mv}{dt} |
26 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:newtonSecondLaw} |
27 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
28 |
|
|
A point mass interacting with other bodies moves with the |
29 |
|
|
acceleration along the direction of the force acting on it. Let |
30 |
tim |
2702 |
$F_{ij}$ be the force that particle $i$ exerts on particle $j$, and |
31 |
|
|
$F_{ji}$ be the force that particle $j$ exerts on particle $i$. |
32 |
tim |
2694 |
Newton¡¯s third law states that |
33 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
34 |
tim |
2702 |
F_{ij} = -F_{ji} |
35 |
tim |
2694 |
\label{introEquation:newtonThirdLaw} |
36 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
37 |
tim |
2692 |
|
38 |
tim |
2694 |
Conservation laws of Newtonian Mechanics play very important roles |
39 |
|
|
in solving mechanics problems. The linear momentum of a particle is |
40 |
|
|
conserved if it is free or it experiences no force. The second |
41 |
|
|
conservation theorem concerns the angular momentum of a particle. |
42 |
|
|
The angular momentum $L$ of a particle with respect to an origin |
43 |
|
|
from which $r$ is measured is defined to be |
44 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
45 |
|
|
L \equiv r \times p \label{introEquation:angularMomentumDefinition} |
46 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
47 |
|
|
The torque $\tau$ with respect to the same origin is defined to be |
48 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
49 |
|
|
N \equiv r \times F \label{introEquation:torqueDefinition} |
50 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
51 |
|
|
Differentiating Eq.~\ref{introEquation:angularMomentumDefinition}, |
52 |
|
|
\[ |
53 |
|
|
\dot L = \frac{d}{{dt}}(r \times p) = (\dot r \times p) + (r \times |
54 |
|
|
\dot p) |
55 |
|
|
\] |
56 |
|
|
since |
57 |
|
|
\[ |
58 |
|
|
\dot r \times p = \dot r \times mv = m\dot r \times \dot r \equiv 0 |
59 |
|
|
\] |
60 |
|
|
thus, |
61 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
62 |
|
|
\dot L = r \times \dot p = N |
63 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
64 |
|
|
If there are no external torques acting on a body, the angular |
65 |
|
|
momentum of it is conserved. The last conservation theorem state |
66 |
tim |
2696 |
that if all forces are conservative, Energy |
67 |
|
|
\begin{equation}E = T + V \label{introEquation:energyConservation} |
68 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
69 |
|
|
is conserved. All of these conserved quantities are |
70 |
|
|
important factors to determine the quality of numerical integration |
71 |
|
|
scheme for rigid body \cite{Dullweber1997}. |

75 |
|
|
Newtonian Mechanics suffers from two important limitations: it |
76 |
|
|
describes their motion in special cartesian coordinate systems. |
77 |
|
|
Another limitation of Newtonian mechanics becomes obvious when we |
78 |
|
|
try to describe systems with large numbers of particles. It becomes |
79 |
|
|
very difficult to predict the properties of the system by carrying |
80 |
|
|
out calculations involving the each individual interaction between |
81 |
|
|
all the particles, even if we know all of the details of the |
82 |
|
|
interaction. In order to overcome some of the practical difficulties |
83 |
|
|
which arise in attempts to apply Newton's equation to complex |
84 |
|
|
system, alternative procedures may be developed. |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:halmiltonPrinciple}Hamilton's |
87 |
tim |
2692 |
Principle} |
88 |
|
|
|
89 |
|
|
Hamilton introduced the dynamical principle upon which it is |
90 |
|
|
possible to base all of mechanics and, indeed, most of classical |
91 |
|
|
physics. Hamilton's Principle may be stated as follow, |
92 |
|
|
|
93 |
|
|
The actual trajectory, along which a dynamical system may move from |
94 |
|
|
one point to another within a specified time, is derived by finding |
95 |
|
|
the path which minimizes the time integral of the difference between |
96 |
tim |
2694 |
the kinetic, $K$, and potential energies, $U$ \cite{tolman79}. |
97 |
tim |
2692 |
\begin{equation} |
98 |
|
|
\delta \int_{t_1 }^{t_2 } {(K - U)dt = 0} , |
99 |
tim |
2693 |
\label{introEquation:halmitonianPrinciple1} |
100 |
tim |
2692 |
\end{equation} |
101 |
|
|
|
102 |
|
|
For simple mechanical systems, where the forces acting on the |
103 |
|
|
different part are derivable from a potential and the velocities are |
104 |
|
|
small compared with that of light, the Lagrangian function $L$ can |
105 |
|
|
be define as the difference between the kinetic energy of the system |
106 |
|
|
and its potential energy, |
107 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
108 |
|
|
L \equiv K - U = L(q_i ,\dot q_i ) , |
109 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:lagrangianDef} |
110 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
111 |
|
|
then Eq.~\ref{introEquation:halmitonianPrinciple1} becomes |
112 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
113 |
tim |
2693 |
\delta \int_{t_1 }^{t_2 } {L dt = 0} , |

Equations of Motion in Lagrangian Mechanics} |
119 |
|
|
|
120 |
tim |
2700 |
For a holonomic system of $f$ degrees of freedom, the equations of |
121 |
tim |
2692 |
motion in the Lagrangian form is |
122 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
123 |
|
|
\frac{d}{{dt}}\frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial \dot q_i }} - |
124 |
|
|
\frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial q_i }} = 0,{\rm{ }}i = 1, \ldots,f |
125 |
tim |
2693 |
\label{introEquation:eqMotionLagrangian} |
126 |
tim |
2692 |
\end{equation} |
127 |
|
|
where $q_{i}$ is generalized coordinate and $\dot{q_{i}}$ is |
128 |
|
|
generalized velocity. |

\subsection{\label{introSection:hamiltonian}Hamiltonian Mechanics} |
131 |
tim |
2692 |
|
132 |
|
|
Arising from Lagrangian Mechanics, Hamiltonian Mechanics was |
133 |
|
|
introduced by William Rowan Hamilton in 1833 as a re-formulation of |
134 |
|
|
classical mechanics. If the potential energy of a system is |
135 |
|
|
independent of generalized velocities, the generalized momenta can |
136 |
|
|
be defined as |
137 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
138 |
|
|
p_i = \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot q_i} |
139 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:generalizedMomenta} |
140 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
141 |
tim |
2693 |
The Lagrange equations of motion are then expressed by |
142 |
tim |
2692 |
\begin{equation} |
143 |
tim |
2693 |
p_i = \frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial q_i }} |
144 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:generalizedMomentaDot} |
145 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
146 |
|
|
|
147 |
|
|
With the help of the generalized momenta, we may now define a new |
148 |
|
|
quantity $H$ by the equation |
149 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
150 |
|
|
H = \sum\limits_k {p_k \dot q_k } - L , |
151 |
tim |
2692 |
\label{introEquation:hamiltonianDefByLagrangian} |
152 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
153 |
|
|
where $ \dot q_1 \ldots \dot q_f $ are generalized velocities and |
154 |
|
|
$L$ is the Lagrangian function for the system. |
155 |
|
|
|
156 |
tim |
2693 |
Differentiating Eq.~\ref{introEquation:hamiltonianDefByLagrangian}, |
157 |
|
|
one can obtain |
158 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
159 |
|
|
dH = \sum\limits_k {\left( {p_k d\dot q_k + \dot q_k dp_k - |
160 |
|
|
\frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial q_k }}dq_k - \frac{{\partial |
161 |
|
|
L}}{{\partial \dot q_k }}d\dot q_k } \right)} - \frac{{\partial |
162 |
|
|
L}}{{\partial t}}dt \label{introEquation:diffHamiltonian1} |
163 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
164 |
|
|
Making use of Eq.~\ref{introEquation:generalizedMomenta}, the |
165 |
|
|
second and fourth terms in the parentheses cancel. Therefore, |
166 |
|
|
Eq.~\ref{introEquation:diffHamiltonian1} can be rewritten as |
167 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
168 |
|
|
dH = \sum\limits_k {\left( {\dot q_k dp_k - \dot p_k dq_k } |
169 |
|
|
\right)} - \frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial t}}dt |
170 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:diffHamiltonian2} |
171 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
172 |
|
|
By identifying the coefficients of $dq_k$, $dp_k$ and dt, we can |
173 |
|
|
find |
174 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
175 |
|
|
\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial p_k }} = q_k |
176 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate} |
177 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
178 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
179 |
|
|
\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial q_k }} = - p_k |
180 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum} |
181 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
182 |
|
|
and |
183 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
184 |
|
|
\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial t}} = - \frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial |
185 |
|
|
t}} |
186 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:motionHamiltonianTime} |
187 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
188 |
|
|
|
189 |
|
|
Eq.~\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate} and |
190 |
|
|
Eq.~\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum} are Hamilton's |
191 |
|
|
equation of motion. Due to their symmetrical formula, they are also |
192 |
tim |
2694 |
known as the canonical equations of motions \cite{Goldstein01}. |
193 |
tim |
2693 |
|
194 |
tim |
2692 |
An important difference between Lagrangian approach and the |
195 |
|
|
Hamiltonian approach is that the Lagrangian is considered to be a |
196 |
|
|
function of the generalized velocities $\dot q_i$ and the |
197 |
|
|
generalized coordinates $q_i$, while the Hamiltonian is considered |
198 |
|
|
to be a function of the generalized momenta $p_i$ and the conjugate |
199 |
|
|
generalized coordinate $q_i$. Hamiltonian Mechanics is more |
200 |
|
|
appropriate for application to statistical mechanics and quantum |
201 |
|
|
mechanics, since it treats the coordinate and its time derivative as |
202 |
|
|
independent variables and it only works with 1st-order differential |
203 |
tim |
2694 |
equations\cite{Marion90}. |

2696 |
In Newtonian Mechanics, a system described by conservative forces |
206 |
|
|
conserves the total energy \ref{introEquation:energyConservation}. |
207 |
|
|
It follows that Hamilton's equations of motion conserve the total |
208 |
|
|
Hamiltonian. |
209 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
210 |
|
|
\frac{{dH}}{{dt}} = \sum\limits_i {\left( {\frac{{\partial |
211 |
|

H}}{{\partial q_i }}\dot q_i + \frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial p_i |
212 |

\subsection{\label{introSection:ensemble}Phase Space and Ensemble} |
228 |
tim |

Mathematically, phase space is the space which represents all |
230 |
|
|
possible states. Each possible state of the system corresponds to |
231 |
|
|
one unique point in the phase space. For mechanical systems, the |
232 |
|
|
phase space usually consists of all possible values of position and |
233 |
|
|
momentum variables. Consider a dynamic system in a cartesian space, |
234 |
|
|
where each of the $6f$ coordinates and momenta is assigned to one of |
235 |
|
|
$6f$ mutually orthogonal axes, the phase space of this system is a |
236 |
|
|
$6f$ dimensional space. A point, $x = (q_1 , \ldots ,q_f ,p_1 , |
237 |
|
|
\ldots ,p_f )$, with a unique set of values of $6f$ coordinates and |
238 |
|
|
momenta is a phase space vector. |
239 |
|
|
|
240 |
|
|
A microscopic state or microstate of a classical system is |
241 |
|
|
specification of the complete phase space vector of a system at any |
242 |
|
|
instant in time. An ensemble is defined as a collection of systems |
243 |
|
|
sharing one or more macroscopic characteristics but each being in a |
244 |
|
|
unique microstate. The complete ensemble is specified by giving all |
245 |
|
|
systems or microstates consistent with the common macroscopic |
246 |
|
|
characteristics of the ensemble. Although the state of each |
247 |
|
|
individual system in the ensemble could be precisely described at |
248 |
|
|
any instance in time by a suitable phase space vector, when using |
249 |
|
|
ensembles for statistical purposes, there is no need to maintain |
250 |
|
|
distinctions between individual systems, since the numbers of |
251 |
|
|
systems at any time in the different states which correspond to |
252 |
|
|
different regions of the phase space are more interesting. Moreover, |
253 |
|
|
in the point of view of statistical mechanics, one would prefer to |
254 |
|
|
use ensembles containing a large enough population of separate |
255 |
|
|
members so that the numbers of systems in such different states can |
256 |
|
|
be regarded as changing continuously as we traverse different |
257 |
|
|
regions of the phase space. The condition of an ensemble at any time |
258 |
|
|
can be regarded as appropriately specified by the density $\rho$ |
259 |
|
|
with which representative points are distributed over the phase |
260 |
|
|
space. The density of distribution for an ensemble with $f$ degrees |
261 |
|
|
of freedom is defined as, |
262 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
263 |
|
|
\rho = \rho (q_1 , \ldots ,q_f ,p_1 , \ldots ,p_f ,t). |
264 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:densityDistribution} |
265 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
266 |
|
|
Governed by the principles of mechanics, the phase points change |
267 |
|
|
their value which would change the density at any time at phase |
268 |
|
|
space. Hence, the density of distribution is also to be taken as a |
269 |
|
|
function of the time. |
270 |
|
|
|
271 |
|
|
The number of systems $\delta N$ at time $t$ can be determined by, |
272 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
273 |
|
|
\delta N = \rho (q,p,t)dq_1 \ldots dq_f dp_1 \ldots dp_f. |
274 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:deltaN} |
275 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
276 |
|
|
Assuming a large enough population of systems are exploited, we can |
277 |
|
|
sufficiently approximate $\delta N$ without introducing |
278 |
|
|
discontinuity when we go from one region in the phase space to |
279 |
|
|
another. By integrating over the whole phase space, |
280 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
281 |
|
|
N = \int { \ldots \int {\rho (q,p,t)dq_1 } ...dq_f dp_1 } ...dp_f |
282 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:totalNumberSystem} |
283 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
284 |
|
|
gives us an expression for the total number of the systems. Hence, |
285 |
|
|
the probability per unit in the phase space can be obtained by, |
286 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
287 |
|
|
\frac{{\rho (q,p,t)}}{N} = \frac{{\rho (q,p,t)}}{{\int { \ldots \int |
288 |
|
|
{\rho (q,p,t)dq_1 } ...dq_f dp_1 } ...dp_f }}. |
289 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:unitProbability} |
290 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
291 |
|
|
With the help of Equation(\ref{introEquation:unitProbability}) and |
292 |
|
|
the knowledge of the system, it is possible to calculate the average |
293 |
|
|
value of any desired quantity which depends on the coordinates and |
294 |
|
|
momenta of the system. Even when the dynamics of the real system is |
295 |
|
|
complex, or stochastic, or even discontinuous, the average |
296 |
|
|
properties of the ensemble of possibilities as a whole may still |
297 |
|
|
remain well defined. For a classical system in thermal equilibrium |
298 |
|
|
with its environment, the ensemble average of a mechanical quantity, |
299 |
|
|
$\langle A(q , p) \rangle_t$, takes the form of an integral over the |
300 |

There are several different types of ensembles with different |
309 |
|
|
statistical characteristics. As a function of macroscopic |
310 |
|
|
parameters, such as temperature \textit{etc}, partition function can |
311 |
|
|
be used to describe the statistical properties of a system in |
312 |
|
|
thermodynamic equilibrium. |
313 |
|
|
|
314 |
|
|
As an ensemble of systems, each of which is known to be thermally |
315 |
|
|
isolated and conserve energy, Microcanonical ensemble(NVE) has a |
316 |
|
|
partition function like, |
317 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
318 |
tim |
2706 |
\Omega (N,V,E) = e^{\beta TS} \label{introEquation:NVEPartition}. |
319 |

\end{equation} |
320 |
|
|
A canonical ensemble(NVT)is an ensemble of systems, each of which |
321 |
|
|
can share its energy with a large heat reservoir. The distribution |
322 |
|
|
of the total energy amongst the possible dynamical states is given |
323 |
|
|
by the partition function, |
324 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
325 |
|
|
\Omega (N,V,T) = e^{ - \beta A} |
326 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:NVTPartition} |
327 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
328 |
|
|
Here, $A$ is the Helmholtz free energy which is defined as $ A = U - |
329 |
|
|
TS$. Since most experiment are carried out under constant pressure |
330 |
|
|
condition, isothermal-isobaric ensemble(NPT) play a very important |
331 |
|
|
role in molecular simulation. The isothermal-isobaric ensemble allow |
332 |
|
|
the system to exchange energy with a heat bath of temperature $T$ |
333 |
|
|
and to change the volume as well. Its partition function is given as |
334 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
335 |
|
|
\Delta (N,P,T) = - e^{\beta G}. |
336 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:NPTPartition} |
337 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
338 |
|
|
Here, $G = U - TS + PV$, and $G$ is called Gibbs free energy. |

\subsection{\label{introSection:liouville}Liouville's theorem} |
341 |
|
|
|
342 |
|
|
The Liouville's theorem is the foundation on which statistical |
343 |
|
|
mechanics rests. It describes the time evolution of phase space |
344 |
|
|
distribution function. In order to calculate the rate of change of |
345 |
|
|
$\rho$, we begin from Equation(\ref{introEquation:deltaN}). If we |
346 |
|
|
consider the two faces perpendicular to the $q_1$ axis, which are |
347 |
|
|
located at $q_1$ and $q_1 + \delta q_1$, the number of phase points |
348 |
|
|
leaving the opposite face is given by the expression, |
349 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
350 |
|
|
\left( {\rho + \frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial q_1 }}\delta q_1 } |
351 |
|
|
\right)\left( {\dot q_1 + \frac{{\partial \dot q_1 }}{{\partial q_1 |
352 |
|
|
}}\delta q_1 } \right)\delta q_2 \ldots \delta q_f \delta p_1 |
353 |
|
|
\ldots \delta p_f . |
354 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
355 |
|
|
Summing all over the phase space, we obtain |
356 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
357 |
|
|
\frac{{d(\delta N)}}{{dt}} = - \sum\limits_{i = 1}^f {\left[ {\rho |
358 |
|
|
\left( {\frac{{\partial \dot q_i }}{{\partial q_i }} + |
359 |
|
|
\frac{{\partial \dot p_i }}{{\partial p_i }}} \right) + \left( |
360 |
|
|
{\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial q_i }}\dot q_i + \frac{{\partial |
361 |
|
|
\rho }}{{\partial p_i }}\dot p_i } \right)} \right]} \delta q_1 |
362 |
|
|
\ldots \delta q_f \delta p_1 \ldots \delta p_f . |
363 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
364 |
|
|
Differentiating the equations of motion in Hamiltonian formalism |
365 |
|
|
(\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate}, |
366 |
|
|
\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum}), we can show, |
367 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
368 |
|
|
\sum\limits_i {\left( {\frac{{\partial \dot q_i }}{{\partial q_i }} |
369 |
|
|
+ \frac{{\partial \dot p_i }}{{\partial p_i }}} \right)} = 0 , |
370 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
371 |
|
|
which cancels the first terms of the right hand side. Furthermore, |
372 |
|
|
divining $ \delta q_1 \ldots \delta q_f \delta p_1 \ldots \delta |
373 |
|
|
p_f $ in both sides, we can write out Liouville's theorem in a |
374 |
|
|
simple form, |
375 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
376 |
|
|
\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial t}} + \sum\limits_{i = 1}^f |
377 |
|
|
{\left( {\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial q_i }}\dot q_i + |
378 |
|
|
\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial p_i }}\dot p_i } \right)} = 0 . |

380 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
381 |
|
|
|
382 |
|
|
Liouville's theorem states that the distribution function is |
383 |
|
|
constant along any trajectory in phase space. In classical |
384 |
|
|
statistical mechanics, since the number of particles in the system |
385 |
|
|
is huge, we may be able to believe the system is stationary, |
386 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
387 |
|
|
\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial t}} = 0. |
388 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:stationary} |
389 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
390 |
|
|
In such stationary system, the density of distribution $\rho$ can be |
391 |
|
|
connected to the Hamiltonian $H$ through Maxwell-Boltzmann |
392 |
|
|
distribution, |
393 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
394 |
|
|
\rho \propto e^{ - \beta H} |
395 |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:phaseSpaceConservation}Conservation of Phase Space} |

|
|
Lets consider a region in the phase space, |
400 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
401 |
|
|
\delta v = \int { \ldots \int {dq_1 } ...dq_f dp_1 } ..dp_f . |
402 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
403 |
|
|
If this region is small enough, the density $\rho$ can be regarded |
404 |
|
|
as uniform over the whole phase space. Thus, the number of phase |
405 |
|
|
points inside this region is given by, |
406 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
407 |
|
|
\delta N = \rho \delta v = \rho \int { \ldots \int {dq_1 } ...dq_f |
408 |
|
|
dp_1 } ..dp_f. |
409 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
410 |
|
|
|
411 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
412 |
|
|
\frac{{d(\delta N)}}{{dt}} = \frac{{d\rho }}{{dt}}\delta v + \rho |
413 |
|
|
\frac{d}{{dt}}(\delta v) = 0. |
414 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
415 |
|
|
With the help of stationary assumption |
416 |
|
|
(\ref{introEquation:stationary}), we obtain the principle of the |
417 |
|
|
\emph{conservation of extension in phase space}, |
418 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |

Liouville's theorem can be expresses in a variety of different forms |
427 |
|
|
which are convenient within different contexts. For any two function |
428 |
|
|
$F$ and $G$ of the coordinates and momenta of a system, the Poisson |
429 |
|
|
bracket ${F, G}$ is defined as |
430 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
431 |
|
|
\left\{ {F,G} \right\} = \sum\limits_i {\left( {\frac{{\partial |
432 |
|
|
F}}{{\partial q_i }}\frac{{\partial G}}{{\partial p_i }} - |
433 |
|
|
\frac{{\partial F}}{{\partial p_i }}\frac{{\partial G}}{{\partial |
434 |
|

q_i }}} \right)}. |
435 |

|
\label{introEquation:poissonBracket} |

Substituting equations of motion in Hamiltonian formalism( |

\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate} , |
439 |
|
|
\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum} ) into |
440 |
|
|
(\ref{introEquation:liouvilleTheorem}), we can rewrite Liouville's |
441 |
|
|
theorem using Poisson bracket notion, |
442 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
443 |
|
|
\left( {\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial t}}} \right) = - \left\{ |

Moreover, the Liouville operator is defined as |
448 |

iL = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^f {\left( {\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial |

expressed as |

Various thermodynamic properties can be calculated from Molecular |
464 |
|
|
Dynamics simulation. By comparing experimental values with the |
465 |
|
|
calculated properties, one can determine the accuracy of the |
466 |
|
|
simulation and the quality of the underlying model. However, both of |
467 |
|
|
experiment and computer simulation are usually performed during a |
468 |
|
|
certain time interval and the measurements are averaged over a |
469 |
|
|
period of them which is different from the average behavior of |
470 |
|
|
many-body system in Statistical Mechanics. Fortunately, Ergodic |
471 |
|
|
Hypothesis is proposed to make a connection between time average and |
472 |
|
|
ensemble average. It states that time average and average over the |
473 |

statistical ensemble are identical \cite{Frenkel1996, leach01:mm}. |

where $\langle A(q , p) \rangle_t$ is an equilibrium value of a |
480 |
|
|
physical quantity and $\rho (p(t), q(t))$ is the equilibrium |
481 |
|
|
distribution function. If an observation is averaged over a |
482 |
|
|
sufficiently long time (longer than relaxation time), all accessible |
483 |
|
|
microstates in phase space are assumed to be equally probed, giving |
484 |
|
|
a properly weighted statistical average. This allows the researcher |
485 |
|
|
freedom of choice when deciding how best to measure a given |
486 |
|
|
observable. In case an ensemble averaged approach sounds most |
487 |
|
|
reasonable, the Monte Carlo techniques\cite{metropolis:1949} can be |
488 |
|
|
utilized. Or if the system lends itself to a time averaging |
489 |
|
|
approach, the Molecular Dynamics techniques in |
490 |

A variety of numerical integrators were proposed to simulate the |

|
motions. They usually begin with an initial conditionals and move |
496 |
|
|
the objects in the direction governed by the differential equations. |
497 |
|
|
However, most of them ignore the hidden physical law contained |
498 |

within the equations. Since 1990, geometric integrators, which |
499 |
|
|
preserve various phase-flow invariants such as symplectic structure, |
500 |
|
|
volume and time reversal symmetry, are developed to address this |
501 |

|
issue. The velocity verlet method, which happens to be a simple |
502 |
|
|
example of symplectic integrator, continues to gain its popularity |
503 |

in molecular dynamics community. This fact can be partly explained |

\subsection{\label{introSection:symplecticManifold}Symplectic Manifold} |
507 |
|
|
A \emph{manifold} is an abstract mathematical space. It locally |
508 |
|
|
looks like Euclidean space, but when viewed globally, it may have |
509 |
|
|
more complicate structure. A good example of manifold is the surface |
510 |
|
|
of Earth. It seems to be flat locally, but it is round if viewed as |
511 |
|
|
a whole. A \emph{differentiable manifold} (also known as |
512 |
|
|
\emph{smooth manifold}) is a manifold with an open cover in which |
513 |
|
|
the covering neighborhoods are all smoothly isomorphic to one |
514 |
|
|
another. In other words,it is possible to apply calculus on |
515 |
|
|
\emph{differentiable manifold}. A \emph{symplectic manifold} is |
516 |
|
|
defined as a pair $(M, \omega)$ which consisting of a |
517 |
|
|
\emph{differentiable manifold} $M$ and a close, non-degenerated, |
518 |
|
|
bilinear symplectic form, $\omega$. A symplectic form on a vector |
519 |
|
|
space $V$ is a function $\omega(x, y)$ which satisfies |
520 |
|
|
$\omega(\lambda_1x_1+\lambda_2x_2, y) = \lambda_1\omega(x_1, y)+ |
521 |
|
|
\lambda_2\omega(x_2, y)$, $\omega(x, y) = - \omega(y, x)$ and |
522 |
|
|
$\omega(x, x) = 0$. Cross product operation in vector field is an |
523 |
|
|
example of symplectic form. |
524 |
|
|
|
525 |
|
|
One of the motivations to study \emph{symplectic manifold} in |
526 |
|
|
Hamiltonian Mechanics is that a symplectic manifold can represent |
527 |
|
|
all possible configurations of the system and the phase space of the |
528 |
|
|
system can be described by it's cotangent bundle. Every symplectic |
529 |
|
|
manifold is even dimensional. For instance, in Hamilton equations, |
530 |
|
|
coordinate and momentum always appear in pairs. |
531 |
|
|
|
532 |
|
|
Let $(M,\omega)$ and $(N, \eta)$ be symplectic manifolds. A map |
533 |
|
|
\[ |
534 |
|
|
f : M \rightarrow N |
535 |
|
|
\] |
536 |
|
|
is a \emph{symplectomorphism} if it is a \emph{diffeomorphims} and |
537 |
|
|
the \emph{pullback} of $\eta$ under f is equal to $\omega$. |

590 |
|
|
In particular, |
591 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
592 |
|
|
\varphi _\tau \circ \varphi _{ - \tau } = I |
593 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
594 |
|
|
Therefore, the exact flow is self-adjoint, |
595 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
596 |
|
|
\varphi _\tau = \varphi _{ - \tau }^{ - 1}. |
597 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
598 |
|
|
The exact flow can also be written in terms of the of an operator, |
599 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
600 |
|
|
\varphi _\tau (x) = e^{\tau \sum\limits_i {f_i (x)\frac{\partial |
601 |
|
|
}{{\partial x_i }}} } (x) \equiv \exp (\tau f)(x). |

603 |

\end{equation} |
604 |
|
|
|
605 |
|
|
In most cases, it is not easy to find the exact flow $\varphi_\tau$. |
606 |
|
|
Instead, we use a approximate map, $\psi_\tau$, which is usually |
607 |
|
|
called integrator. The order of an integrator $\psi_\tau$ is $p$, if |
608 |
|
|
the Taylor series of $\psi_\tau$ agree to order $p$, |
609 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |

\psi_tau(x) = x + \tau f(x) + O(\tau^{p+1}) |

The hidden geometric properties of ODE and its flow play important |
616 |
tim |
2702 |
roles in numerical studies. Many of them can be found in systems |
617 |
|
|
which occur naturally in applications. |
618 |
|
|
|
619 |
|
|
Let $\varphi$ be the flow of Hamiltonian vector field, $\varphi$ is |
620 |
|
|
a \emph{symplectic} flow if it satisfies, |
621 |
tim |
2698 |
\begin{equation} |
622 |
tim |
2703 |
{\varphi '}^T J \varphi ' = J. |
623 |
tim |
2698 |
\end{equation} |
624 |
|
|
According to Liouville's theorem, the symplectic volume is invariant |
625 |
|
|
under a Hamiltonian flow, which is the basis for classical |
626 |
tim |
2699 |
statistical mechanics. Furthermore, the flow of a Hamiltonian vector |
627 |
|
|
field on a symplectic manifold can be shown to be a |
628 |
|
|
symplectomorphism. As to the Poisson system, |
629 |
tim |
2698 |
\begin{equation} |
630 |
tim |
2703 |
{\varphi '}^T J \varphi ' = J \circ \varphi |
631 |
tim |
2698 |
\end{equation} |
632 |
tim |
2702 |
is the property must be preserved by the integrator. |
633 |
|
|
|
634 |
|
|
It is possible to construct a \emph{volume-preserving} flow for a |
635 |
|
|
source free($ \nabla \cdot f = 0 $) ODE, if the flow satisfies $ |
636 |
|
|
\det d\varphi = 1$. One can show easily that a symplectic flow will |
637 |
|
|
be volume-preserving. |
638 |
|
|
|
639 |
|
|
Changing the variables $y = h(x)$ in a ODE\ref{introEquation:ODE} |
640 |
|
|
will result in a new system, |
641 |
tim |
2698 |
\[ |
642 |
|
|
\dot y = \tilde f(y) = ((dh \cdot f)h^{ - 1} )(y). |
643 |
|
|
\] |
644 |
|
|
The vector filed $f$ has reversing symmetry $h$ if $f = - \tilde f$. |
645 |
|
|
In other words, the flow of this vector field is reversible if and |
646 |
tim |
2702 |
only if $ h \circ \varphi ^{ - 1} = \varphi \circ h $. |
647 |

A \emph{first integral}, or conserved quantity of a general |
649 |
|
|
differential function is a function $ G:R^{2d} \to R^d $ which is |
650 |
|
|
constant for all solutions of the ODE $\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = f(x)$ , |
651 |
|
|
\[ |
652 |
|
|
\frac{{dG(x(t))}}{{dt}} = 0. |
653 |
|
|
\] |
654 |
|
|
Using chain rule, one may obtain, |
655 |
|
|
\[ |
656 |
|
|
\sum\limits_i {\frac{{dG}}{{dx_i }}} f_i (x) = f \bullet \nabla G, |
657 |
|
|
\] |
658 |
|
|
which is the condition for conserving \emph{first integral}. For a |
659 |
|
|
canonical Hamiltonian system, the time evolution of an arbitrary |
660 |
|
|
smooth function $G$ is given by, |
661 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
662 |
|
|
\begin{array}{c} |
663 |
|
|
\frac{{dG(x(t))}}{{dt}} = [\nabla _x G(x(t))]^T \dot x(t) \\ |
664 |
|
|
= [\nabla _x G(x(t))]^T J\nabla _x H(x(t)). \\ |
665 |
|
|
\end{array} |
666 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:firstIntegral1} |
667 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
668 |
|
|
Using poisson bracket notion, Equation |
669 |
|
|
\ref{introEquation:firstIntegral1} can be rewritten as |
670 |
|
|
\[ |
671 |
|
|
\frac{d}{{dt}}G(x(t)) = \left\{ {G,H} \right\}(x(t)). |
672 |
|
|
\] |
673 |
|
|
Therefore, the sufficient condition for $G$ to be the \emph{first |
674 |
|
|
integral} of a Hamiltonian system is |
675 |
|
|
\[ |
676 |
|
|
\left\{ {G,H} \right\} = 0. |
677 |
|
|
\] |
678 |
|
|
As well known, the Hamiltonian (or energy) H of a Hamiltonian system |
679 |
|
|
is a \emph{first integral}, which is due to the fact $\{ H,H\} = |
680 |
|
|
0$. |
681 |
|
|
|
682 |
|
|
|
683 |
|
|
When designing any numerical methods, one should always try to |
684 |
tim |
2702 |
preserve the structural properties of the original ODE and its flow. |

\subsection{\label{introSection:constructionSymplectic}Construction of Symplectic Methods} |
687 |
|
|
A lot of well established and very effective numerical methods have |
688 |
|
|
been successful precisely because of their symplecticities even |
689 |
|
|
though this fact was not recognized when they were first |
690 |
|
|
constructed. The most famous example is leapfrog methods in |
691 |
|
|
molecular dynamics. In general, symplectic integrators can be |
692 |
|
|
constructed using one of four different methods. |
693 |
|
|
\begin{enumerate} |
694 |
|
|
\item Generating functions |
695 |
|
|
\item Variational methods |
696 |
|
|
\item Runge-Kutta methods |
697 |
|
|
\item Splitting methods |
698 |
|
|
\end{enumerate} |
699 |
tim |
2698 |
|
700 |
tim |
2699 |
Generating function tends to lead to methods which are cumbersome |
701 |
tim |
2702 |
and difficult to use. In dissipative systems, variational methods |
702 |
|
|
can capture the decay of energy accurately. Since their |
703 |
|
|
geometrically unstable nature against non-Hamiltonian perturbations, |
704 |
|
|
ordinary implicit Runge-Kutta methods are not suitable for |
705 |
|
|
Hamiltonian system. Recently, various high-order explicit |
706 |
|
|
Runge--Kutta methods have been developed to overcome this |
707 |
tim |
2703 |
instability. However, due to computational penalty involved in |
708 |
|
|
implementing the Runge-Kutta methods, they do not attract too much |
709 |
|
|
attention from Molecular Dynamics community. Instead, splitting have |
710 |
|
|
been widely accepted since they exploit natural decompositions of |
711 |
|
|
the system\cite{Tuckerman92}. |
712 |

713 |
|
|
\subsubsection{\label{introSection:splittingMethod}Splitting Method} |
714 |
|
|
|
715 |
|
|
The main idea behind splitting methods is to decompose the discrete |
716 |
|
|
$\varphi_h$ as a composition of simpler flows, |
717 |
tim |
2699 |
\begin{equation} |
718 |
|
|
\varphi _h = \varphi _{h_1 } \circ \varphi _{h_2 } \ldots \circ |
719 |
|
|
\varphi _{h_n } |
720 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:FlowDecomposition} |
721 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
722 |
|
|
where each of the sub-flow is chosen such that each represent a |
723 |
tim |
2702 |
simpler integration of the system. |
724 |
|
|
|
725 |
|
|
Suppose that a Hamiltonian system takes the form, |
726 |
|
|
\[ |
727 |
|
|
H = H_1 + H_2. |
728 |
|
|
\] |
729 |
|
|
Here, $H_1$ and $H_2$ may represent different physical processes of |
730 |
|
|
the system. For instance, they may relate to kinetic and potential |
731 |
|
|
energy respectively, which is a natural decomposition of the |
732 |
|
|
problem. If $H_1$ and $H_2$ can be integrated using exact flows |
733 |
|
|
$\varphi_1(t)$ and $\varphi_2(t)$, respectively, a simple first |
734 |
|
|
order is then given by the Lie-Trotter formula |
735 |
tim |
2699 |
\begin{equation} |
736 |
tim |
2702 |
\varphi _h = \varphi _{1,h} \circ \varphi _{2,h}, |
737 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:firstOrderSplitting} |
738 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
739 |
|
|
where $\varphi _h$ is the result of applying the corresponding |
740 |
|
|
continuous $\varphi _i$ over a time $h$. By definition, as |
741 |
|
|
$\varphi_i(t)$ is the exact solution of a Hamiltonian system, it |
742 |
|
|
must follow that each operator $\varphi_i(t)$ is a symplectic map. |
743 |
|
|
It is easy to show that any composition of symplectic flows yields a |
744 |
|
|
symplectic map, |
745 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
746 |
tim |
2699 |
(\varphi '\phi ')^T J\varphi '\phi ' = \phi '^T \varphi '^T J\varphi |
747 |
tim |
2702 |
'\phi ' = \phi '^T J\phi ' = J, |

2699 |
\label{introEquation:SymplecticFlowComposition} |
749 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
750 |
tim |
2702 |
where $\phi$ and $\psi$ both are symplectic maps. Thus operator |
751 |
|
|
splitting in this context automatically generates a symplectic map. |
752 |
tim |
2699 |
|
753 |
tim |

The Lie-Trotter splitting(\ref{introEquation:firstOrderSplitting}) |
754 |
|
|
introduces local errors proportional to $h^2$, while Strang |
755 |
|
|
splitting gives a second-order decomposition, |
756 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
757 |
|
|
\varphi _h = \varphi _{1,h/2} \circ \varphi _{2,h} \circ \varphi |

759 |
tim |
2702 |
\end{equation} |
760 |
|
|
which has a local error proportional to $h^3$. Sprang splitting's |
761 |
|
|
popularity in molecular simulation community attribute to its |
762 |
|
|
symmetric property, |
763 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |

\varphi _h^{ - 1} = \varphi _{ - h}. |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:exampleSplittingMethod}Example of Splitting Method} |

The classical equation for a system consisting of interacting |
770 |
|
|
particles can be written in Hamiltonian form, |
771 |
|
|
\[ |
772 |
|
|
H = T + V |
773 |
|
|
\] |
774 |
|
|
where $T$ is the kinetic energy and $V$ is the potential energy. |
775 |
|
|
Setting $H_1 = T, H_2 = V$ and applying Strang splitting, one |
776 |
|
|
obtains the following: |
777 |
|
|
\begin{align} |
778 |
|
|
q(\Delta t) &= q(0) + \dot{q}(0)\Delta t + |
779 |
|
|
\frac{F[q(0)]}{m}\frac{\Delta t^2}{2}, % |
780 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:Lp10a} \\% |
781 |
|
|
% |
782 |
|
|
\dot{q}(\Delta t) &= \dot{q}(0) + \frac{\Delta t}{2m} |
783 |
|
|
\biggl [F[q(0)] + F[q(\Delta t)] \biggr]. % |
784 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:Lp10b} |
785 |
|
|
\end{align} |
786 |
|
|
where $F(t)$ is the force at time $t$. This integration scheme is |
787 |
|
|
known as \emph{velocity verlet} which is |
788 |
|
|
symplectic(\ref{introEquation:SymplecticFlowComposition}), |
789 |
|
|
time-reversible(\ref{introEquation:timeReversible}) and |
790 |
|
|
volume-preserving (\ref{introEquation:volumePreserving}). These |
791 |
|
|
geometric properties attribute to its long-time stability and its |
792 |
|
|
popularity in the community. However, the most commonly used |
793 |
|
|
velocity verlet integration scheme is written as below, |
794 |
|
|
\begin{align} |
795 |
|
|
\dot{q}\biggl (\frac{\Delta t}{2}\biggr ) &= |
796 |
|
|
\dot{q}(0) + \frac{\Delta t}{2m}\, F[q(0)], \label{introEquation:Lp9a}\\% |
797 |
|
|
% |
798 |
|
|
q(\Delta t) &= q(0) + \Delta t\, \dot{q}\biggl (\frac{\Delta t}{2}\biggr ),% |
799 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:Lp9b}\\% |
800 |
|
|
% |
801 |
|
|
\dot{q}(\Delta t) &= \dot{q}\biggl (\frac{\Delta t}{2}\biggr ) + |
802 |
|
|
\frac{\Delta t}{2m}\, F[q(0)]. \label{introEquation:Lp9c} |
803 |
|
|
\end{align} |
804 |
|
|
From the preceding splitting, one can see that the integration of |
805 |
|
|
the equations of motion would follow: |
806 |
|
|
\begin{enumerate} |
807 |
|
|
\item calculate the velocities at the half step, $\frac{\Delta t}{2}$, from the forces calculated at the initial position. |
808 |
|
|
|
809 |
|
|
\item Use the half step velocities to move positions one whole step, $\Delta t$. |
810 |
|
|
|
811 |
|
|
\item Evaluate the forces at the new positions, $\mathbf{r}(\Delta t)$, and use the new forces to complete the velocity move. |
812 |
|
|
|
813 |
|
|
\item Repeat from step 1 with the new position, velocities, and forces assuming the roles of the initial values. |
814 |

|
\end{enumerate} |
815 |
|
|
|
816 |
|
|
Simply switching the order of splitting and composing, a new |
817 |
|
|
integrator, the \emph{position verlet} integrator, can be generated, |
818 |
|
|
\begin{align} |

Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula can be used to determine the local |
831 |
|
|
error of splitting method in terms of commutator of the |
832 |
|
|
operators(\ref{introEquation:exponentialOperator}) associated with |
833 |
|
|
the sub-flow. For operators $hX$ and $hY$ which are associate to |
834 |
|
|
$\varphi_1(t)$ and $\varphi_2(t$ respectively , we have |
835 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
836 |
|
|
\exp (hX + hY) = \exp (hZ) |
837 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
838 |

where |
839 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
840 |
|
|
hZ = hX + hY + \frac{{h^2 }}{2}[X,Y] + \frac{{h^3 }}{2}\left( |

{[X,[X,Y]] + [Y,[Y,X]]} \right) + \ldots . |
842 |

Here, $[X,Y]$ is the commutators of operator $X$ and $Y$ given by |
844 |
|

\[ |
845 |
|
|
[X,Y] = XY - YX . |
846 |
|

\] |
847 |
|
|
Applying Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula to Sprang splitting, we |
848 |
|

can obtain |
849 |
tim |
2703 |
\begin{eqnarray*} |
850 |

\end{eqnarray*} |
855 |
tim |
2702 |
Since \[ [X,Y] + [Y,X] = 0\] and \[ [X,X] = 0\], the dominant local |
856 |
|
|
error of Spring splitting is proportional to $h^3$. The same |
857 |
|
|
procedure can be applied to general splitting, of the form |
858 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
859 |
|
|
\varphi _{b_m h}^2 \circ \varphi _{a_m h}^1 \circ \varphi _{b_{m - |

|
\end{equation} |
862 |
|
|
Careful choice of coefficient $a_1 ,\ldot , b_m$ will lead to higher |
863 |
|
|
order method. Yoshida proposed an elegant way to compose higher |
864 |
|
|
order methods based on symmetric splitting. Given a symmetric second |
865 |
|
|
order base method $ \varphi _h^{(2)} $, a fourth-order symmetric |
866 |
|
|
method can be constructed by composing, |
867 |
|
|
\[ |
868 |
|
|
\varphi _h^{(4)} = \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2)} \circ \varphi _{\beta |
869 |
|
|
h}^{(2)} \circ \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2)} |
870 |
|
|
\] |
871 |
|
|
where $ \alpha = - \frac{{2^{1/3} }}{{2 - 2^{1/3} }}$ and $ \beta |
872 |
|
|
= \frac{{2^{1/3} }}{{2 - 2^{1/3} }}$. Moreover, a symmetric |
873 |
|
|
integrator $ \varphi _h^{(2n + 2)}$ can be composed by |
874 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
875 |
|
|
\varphi _h^{(2n + 2)} = \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2n)} \circ \varphi |
876 |
|
|
_{\beta h}^{(2n)} \circ \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2n)} |
877 |

As one of the principal tools of molecular modeling, Molecular |
887 |
|
|
dynamics has proven to be a powerful tool for studying the functions |
888 |
|
|
of biological systems, providing structural, thermodynamic and |
889 |
|
|
dynamical information. The basic idea of molecular dynamics is that |
890 |
|
|
macroscopic properties are related to microscopic behavior and |
891 |
|
|
microscopic behavior can be calculated from the trajectories in |
892 |
|
|
simulations. For instance, instantaneous temperature of an |
893 |
|
|
Hamiltonian system of $N$ particle can be measured by |
894 |
|
|
\[ |
895 |
tim |
2725 |
T = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^N {\frac{{m_i v_i^2 }}{{fk_B }}} |
896 |
tim |
2720 |
\] |
897 |
|
|
where $m_i$ and $v_i$ are the mass and velocity of $i$th particle |
898 |
|
|
respectively, $f$ is the number of degrees of freedom, and $k_B$ is |
899 |
|
|
the boltzman constant. |

A typical molecular dynamics run consists of three essential steps: |
902 |
|
|
\begin{enumerate} |
903 |
|
|
\item Initialization |
904 |
|
|
\begin{enumerate} |
905 |
|
|
\item Preliminary preparation |
906 |
|
|
\item Minimization |
907 |
|
|
\item Heating |
908 |
|
|
\item Equilibration |
909 |
|
|
\end{enumerate} |
910 |
|
|
\item Production |
911 |
|
|
\item Analysis |
912 |
|
|
\end{enumerate} |
913 |
|
|
These three individual steps will be covered in the following |
914 |
|
|
sections. Sec.~\ref{introSec:initialSystemSettings} deals with the |
915 |
|
|
initialization of a simulation. Sec.~\ref{introSec:production} will |
916 |
tim |
2725 |
discusses issues in production run. Sec.~\ref{introSection:Analysis} |
917 |
|
|
provides the theoretical tools for trajectory analysis. |

\subsubsection{Preliminary preparation} |
922 |
tim |
2719 |
|
923 |
tim |
2720 |
When selecting the starting structure of a molecule for molecular |
924 |
|
|
simulation, one may retrieve its Cartesian coordinates from public |
925 |
|
|
databases, such as RCSB Protein Data Bank \textit{etc}. Although |
926 |
|
|
thousands of crystal structures of molecules are discovered every |
927 |
|
|
year, many more remain unknown due to the difficulties of |
928 |
|
|
purification and crystallization. Even for the molecule with known |
929 |
|
|
structure, some important information is missing. For example, the |
930 |
|
|
missing hydrogen atom which acts as donor in hydrogen bonding must |
931 |
|
|
be added. Moreover, in order to include electrostatic interaction, |
932 |
|
|
one may need to specify the partial charges for individual atoms. |
933 |
|
|
Under some circumstances, we may even need to prepare the system in |
934 |
|
|
a special setup. For instance, when studying transport phenomenon in |
935 |
|
|
membrane system, we may prepare the lipids in bilayer structure |
936 |
|
|
instead of placing lipids randomly in solvent, since we are not |
937 |
|
|
interested in self-aggregation and it takes a long time to happen. |
938 |
tim |
2694 |
|
939 |
tim |
2720 |
\subsubsection{Minimization} |
940 |
tim |
2705 |
|
941 |
tim |
2720 |
It is quite possible that some of molecules in the system from |
942 |
|
|
preliminary preparation may be overlapped with each other. This |
943 |
|
|
close proximity leads to high potential energy which consequently |
944 |
|
|
jeopardizes any molecular dynamics simulations. To remove these |
945 |
|
|
steric overlaps, one typically performs energy minimization to find |
946 |
|
|
a more reasonable conformation. Several energy minimization methods |
947 |
|
|
have been developed to exploit the energy surface and to locate the |
948 |
|
|
local minimum. While converging slowly near the minimum, steepest |
949 |
|
|
descent method is extremely robust when systems are far from |
950 |
|
|
harmonic. Thus, it is often used to refine structure from |
951 |
|
|
crystallographic data. Relied on the gradient or hessian, advanced |
952 |
|
|
methods like conjugate gradient and Newton-Raphson converge rapidly |
953 |
|
|
to a local minimum, while become unstable if the energy surface is |
954 |
|
|
far from quadratic. Another factor must be taken into account, when |
955 |
|
|
choosing energy minimization method, is the size of the system. |
956 |
|
|
Steepest descent and conjugate gradient can deal with models of any |
957 |
|
|
size. Because of the limit of computation power to calculate hessian |
958 |
|
|
matrix and insufficient storage capacity to store them, most |
959 |
|
|
Newton-Raphson methods can not be used with very large models. |
960 |
tim |
2694 |
|
961 |
tim |
2720 |
\subsubsection{Heating} |
962 |
|
|
|
963 |
|
|
Typically, Heating is performed by assigning random velocities |
964 |
|
|
according to a Gaussian distribution for a temperature. Beginning at |
965 |
|
|
a lower temperature and gradually increasing the temperature by |
966 |
|
|
assigning greater random velocities, we end up with setting the |
967 |
|
|
temperature of the system to a final temperature at which the |
968 |
|
|
simulation will be conducted. In heating phase, we should also keep |
969 |
|
|
the system from drifting or rotating as a whole. Equivalently, the |
970 |
|
|
net linear momentum and angular momentum of the system should be |
971 |
|
|
shifted to zero. |
972 |
|
|
|
973 |
|
|
\subsubsection{Equilibration} |
974 |
|
|
|
975 |
|
|
The purpose of equilibration is to allow the system to evolve |
976 |
|
|
spontaneously for a period of time and reach equilibrium. The |
977 |
|
|
procedure is continued until various statistical properties, such as |
978 |
|
|
temperature, pressure, energy, volume and other structural |
979 |
|
|
properties \textit{etc}, become independent of time. Strictly |
980 |
|
|
speaking, minimization and heating are not necessary, provided the |
981 |
|
|
equilibration process is long enough. However, these steps can serve |
982 |
|
|
as a means to arrive at an equilibrated structure in an effective |
983 |
|
|
way. |
984 |
|
|
|
985 |
|
|
\subsection{\label{introSection:production}Production} |
986 |
|
|
|
987 |
tim |
2725 |
Production run is the most important steps of the simulation, in |
988 |
|
|
which the equilibrated structure is used as a starting point and the |
989 |
|
|
motions of the molecules are collected for later analysis. In order |
990 |
|
|
to capture the macroscopic properties of the system, the molecular |
991 |
|
|
dynamics simulation must be performed in correct and efficient way. |
992 |
tim |
2720 |
|
993 |
tim |
2725 |
The most expensive part of a molecular dynamics simulation is the |
994 |
|
|
calculation of non-bonded forces, such as van der Waals force and |
995 |
|
|
Coulombic forces \textit{etc}. For a system of $N$ particles, the |
996 |
|
|
complexity of the algorithm for pair-wise interactions is $O(N^2 )$, |
997 |
|
|
which making large simulations prohibitive in the absence of any |
998 |
|
|
computation saving techniques. |
999 |
tim |
2720 |
|
1000 |
tim |
2725 |
A natural approach to avoid system size issue is to represent the |
1001 |
|
|
bulk behavior by a finite number of the particles. However, this |
1002 |
|
|
approach will suffer from the surface effect. To offset this, |
1003 |
|
|
\textit{Periodic boundary condition} is developed to simulate bulk |
1004 |
|
|
properties with a relatively small number of particles. In this |
1005 |
|
|
method, the simulation box is replicated throughout space to form an |
1006 |
|
|
infinite lattice. During the simulation, when a particle moves in |
1007 |
|
|
the primary cell, its image in other cells move in exactly the same |
1008 |
|
|
direction with exactly the same orientation. Thus, as a particle |
1009 |
|
|
leaves the primary cell, one of its images will enter through the |
1010 |
|
|
opposite face. |

%cutoff and minimum image convention |
1021 |
|
|
Another important technique to improve the efficiency of force |
1022 |
|
|
evaluation is to apply cutoff where particles farther than a |
1023 |
|
|
predetermined distance, are not included in the calculation |
1024 |
|
|
\cite{Frenkel1996}. The use of a cutoff radius will cause a |
1025 |
|
|
discontinuity in the potential energy curve |
1026 |
|
|
(Fig.~\ref{introFig:shiftPot}). Fortunately, one can shift the |
1027 |
|
|
potential to ensure the potential curve go smoothly to zero at the |
1028 |
|
|
cutoff radius. Cutoff strategy works pretty well for Lennard-Jones |
1029 |
|
|
interaction because of its short range nature. However, simply |
1030 |
|
|
truncating the electrostatic interaction with the use of cutoff has |
1031 |
|
|
been shown to lead to severe artifacts in simulations. Ewald |
1032 |
|
|
summation, in which the slowly conditionally convergent Coulomb |
1033 |
|
|
potential is transformed into direct and reciprocal sums with rapid |
1034 |
|
|
and absolute convergence, has proved to minimize the periodicity |
1035 |
|
|
artifacts in liquid simulations. Taking the advantages of the fast |
1036 |
|
|
Fourier transform (FFT) for calculating discrete Fourier transforms, |
1037 |
|
|
the particle mesh-based methods are accelerated from $O(N^{3/2})$ to |
1038 |
|
|
$O(N logN)$. An alternative approach is \emph{fast multipole |
1039 |
|
|
method}, which treats Coulombic interaction exactly at short range, |
1040 |
|
|
and approximate the potential at long range through multipolar |
1041 |
|
|
expansion. In spite of their wide acceptances at the molecular |
1042 |
|
|
simulation community, these two methods are hard to be implemented |
1043 |
|
|
correctly and efficiently. Instead, we use a damped and |
1044 |
|
|
charge-neutralized Coulomb potential method developed by Wolf and |
1045 |
|
|
his coworkers. The shifted Coulomb potential for particle $i$ and |
1046 |
|
|
particle $j$ at distance $r_{rj}$ is given by: |
1047 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1048 |
|
|
V(r_{ij})= \frac{q_i q_j \textrm{erfc}(\alpha |
1049 |
|
|
r_{ij})}{r_{ij}}-\lim_{r_{ij}\rightarrow |
1050 |
|
|
R_\textrm{c}}\left\{\frac{q_iq_j \textrm{erfc}(\alpha |
1051 |
|
|
r_{ij})}{r_{ij}}\right\}. \label{introEquation:shiftedCoulomb} |
1052 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
1053 |
|
|
where $\alpha$ is the convergence parameter. Due to the lack of |
1054 |
|
|
inherent periodicity and rapid convergence,this method is extremely |
1055 |
|
|
efficient and easy to implement. |

Recently, advanced visualization technique are widely applied to |
1068 |

|
monitor the motions of molecules. Although the dynamics of the |
1069 |
|
|
system can be described qualitatively from animation, quantitative |
1070 |
|
|
trajectory analysis are more appreciable. According to the |
1071 |
|
|
principles of Statistical Mechanics, |
1072 |
|
|
Sec.~\ref{introSection:statisticalMechanics}, one can compute |
1073 |
|
|
thermodynamics properties, analyze fluctuations of structural |
1074 |
|
|
parameters, and investigate time-dependent processes of the molecule |
1075 |
|

from the trajectories. |

Thermodynamics properties, which can be expressed in terms of some |
1080 |
|
|
function of the coordinates and momenta of all particles in the |
1081 |
|
|
system, can be directly computed from molecular dynamics. The usual |
1082 |
|
|
way to measure the pressure is based on virial theorem of Clausius |
1083 |
|
|
which states that the virial is equal to $-3Nk_BT$. For a system |
1084 |
|
|
with forces between particles, the total virial, $W$, contains the |
1085 |
|
|
contribution from external pressure and interaction between the |
1086 |
|
|
particles: |
1087 |
|
|
\[ |
1088 |
|
|
W = - 3PV + \left\langle {\sum\limits_{i < j} {r{}_{ij} \cdot |
1089 |
|
|
f_{ij} } } \right\rangle |
1090 |
|
|
\] |
1091 |
|
|
where $f_{ij}$ is the force between particle $i$ and $j$ at a |
1092 |
|
|
distance $r_{ij}$. Thus, the expression for the pressure is given |
1093 |
|
|
by: |
1094 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1095 |
|
|
P = \frac{{Nk_B T}}{V} - \frac{1}{{3V}}\left\langle {\sum\limits_{i |

Structural Properties of a simple fluid can be described by a set of |
1102 |
|
|
distribution functions. Among these functions,\emph{pair |
1103 |
|
|
distribution function}, also known as \emph{radial distribution |
1104 |
tim |
2725 |
function}, is of most fundamental importance to liquid-state theory. |
1105 |
|
|
Pair distribution function can be gathered by Fourier transforming |
1106 |
|
|
raw data from a series of neutron diffraction experiments and |
1107 |
|
|
integrating over the surface factor \cite{Powles73}. The experiment |
1108 |
|
|
result can serve as a criterion to justify the correctness of the |
1109 |
|
|
theory. Moreover, various equilibrium thermodynamic and structural |
1110 |
|
|
properties can also be expressed in terms of radial distribution |
1111 |
|
|
function \cite{allen87:csl}. |
1112 |
tim |
2721 |
|
1113 |
|
|
A pair distribution functions $g(r)$ gives the probability that a |
1114 |
|
|
particle $i$ will be located at a distance $r$ from a another |
1115 |
|
|
particle $j$ in the system |
1116 |
|
|
\[ |
1117 |
|
|
g(r) = \frac{V}{{N^2 }}\left\langle {\sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_{j |
1118 |
|
|
\ne i} {\delta (r - r_{ij} )} } } \right\rangle. |
1119 |
|
|
\] |
1120 |
|
|
Note that the delta function can be replaced by a histogram in |
1121 |
|
|
computer simulation. Figure |
1122 |
|
|
\ref{introFigure:pairDistributionFunction} shows a typical pair |
1123 |
|
|
distribution function for the liquid argon system. The occurrence of |
1124 |
|
|
several peaks in the plot of $g(r)$ suggests that it is more likely |
1125 |
|
|
to find particles at certain radial values than at others. This is a |
1126 |
|
|
result of the attractive interaction at such distances. Because of |
1127 |
|
|
the strong repulsive forces at short distance, the probability of |
1128 |
|
|
locating particles at distances less than about 2.5{\AA} from each |
1129 |
|
|
other is essentially zero. |

Properties} |
1141 |
|
|
|
1142 |
|
|
Time-dependent properties are usually calculated using \emph{time |
1143 |
|
|
correlation function}, which correlates random variables $A$ and $B$ |
1144 |
|
|
at two different time |
1145 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1146 |
|
|
C_{AB} (t) = \left\langle {A(t)B(0)} \right\rangle. |
1147 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:timeCorrelationFunction} |
1148 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
1149 |
|
|
If $A$ and $B$ refer to same variable, this kind of correlation |
1150 |
|
|
function is called \emph{auto correlation function}. One example of |
1151 |
|
|
auto correlation function is velocity auto-correlation function |
1152 |
|
|
which is directly related to transport properties of molecular |
1153 |
tim |
2725 |
liquids: |
1154 |
|
|
\[ |
1155 |
|
|
D = \frac{1}{3}\int\limits_0^\infty {\left\langle {v(t) \cdot v(0)} |
1156 |
|
|
\right\rangle } dt |
1157 |
|
|
\] |
1158 |
|
|
where $D$ is diffusion constant. Unlike velocity autocorrelation |
1159 |
|
|
function which is averaging over time origins and over all the |
1160 |
|
|
atoms, dipole autocorrelation are calculated for the entire system. |
1161 |
|
|
The dipole autocorrelation function is given by: |
1162 |
|
|
\[ |
1163 |
|
|
c_{dipole} = \left\langle {u_{tot} (t) \cdot u_{tot} (t)} |
1164 |
|
|
\right\rangle |
1165 |
|
|
\] |
1166 |
|
|
Here $u_{tot}$ is the net dipole of the entire system and is given |
1167 |
|
|
by |
1168 |
|
|
\[ |
1169 |
|
|
u_{tot} (t) = \sum\limits_i {u_i (t)} |
1170 |
|
|
\] |
1171 |
|
|
In principle, many time correlation functions can be related with |
1172 |
|
|
Fourier transforms of the infrared, Raman, and inelastic neutron |
1173 |
|
|
scattering spectra of molecular liquids. In practice, one can |
1174 |
|
|
extract the IR spectrum from the intensity of dipole fluctuation at |
1175 |
|
|
each frequency using the following relationship: |
1176 |
|
|
\[ |
1177 |
|
|
\hat c_{dipole} (v) = \int_{ - \infty }^\infty {c_{dipole} (t)e^{ - |
1178 |
|
|
i2\pi vt} dt} |

Rigid bodies are frequently involved in the modeling of different |
1184 |
|
|
areas, from engineering, physics, to chemistry. For example, |
1185 |
|
|
missiles and vehicle are usually modeled by rigid bodies. The |
1186 |
|
|
movement of the objects in 3D gaming engine or other physics |
1187 |
|
|
simulator is governed by the rigid body dynamics. In molecular |
1188 |
|
|
simulation, rigid body is used to simplify the model in |
1189 |
|
|
protein-protein docking study{\cite{Gray03}}. |

It is very important to develop stable and efficient methods to |
1192 |
|
|
integrate the equations of motion of orientational degrees of |
1193 |
|
|
freedom. Euler angles are the nature choice to describe the |
1194 |
|
|
rotational degrees of freedom. However, due to its singularity, the |
1195 |
|
|
numerical integration of corresponding equations of motion is very |
1196 |
|
|
inefficient and inaccurate. Although an alternative integrator using |
1197 |
|
|
different sets of Euler angles can overcome this difficulty\cite{}, |
1198 |
|
|
the computational penalty and the lost of angular momentum |
1199 |
|
|
conservation still remain. A singularity free representation |
1200 |
|
|
utilizing quaternions was developed by Evans in 1977. Unfortunately, |
1201 |
|
|
this approach suffer from the nonseparable Hamiltonian resulted from |
1202 |
|
|
quaternion representation, which prevents the symplectic algorithm |
1203 |
|
|
to be utilized. Another different approach is to apply holonomic |
1204 |
|
|
constraints to the atoms belonging to the rigid body. Each atom |
1205 |
|
|
moves independently under the normal forces deriving from potential |
1206 |
|
|
energy and constraint forces which are used to guarantee the |
1207 |
|
|
rigidness. However, due to their iterative nature, SHAKE and Rattle |
1208 |
|
|
algorithm converge very slowly when the number of constraint |
1209 |
|
|
increases. |

The break through in geometric literature suggests that, in order to |
1212 |
|
|
develop a long-term integration scheme, one should preserve the |
1213 |
|
|
symplectic structure of the flow. Introducing conjugate momentum to |
1214 |
tim |
2719 |
rotation matrix $Q$ and re-formulating Hamiltonian's equation, a |
1215 |
tim |
2705 |
symplectic integrator, RSHAKE, was proposed to evolve the |
1216 |
|
|
Hamiltonian system in a constraint manifold by iteratively |
1217 |
tim |
2719 |
satisfying the orthogonality constraint $Q_T Q = 1$. An alternative |
1218 |
tim |
2705 |
method using quaternion representation was developed by Omelyan. |
1219 |
|
|
However, both of these methods are iterative and inefficient. In |
1220 |
|
|
this section, we will present a symplectic Lie-Poisson integrator |
1221 |
tim |
2707 |
for rigid body developed by Dullweber and his |
1222 |
tim |
2713 |
coworkers\cite{Dullweber1997} in depth. |

\subsection{\label{introSection:constrainedHamiltonianRB}Constrained Hamiltonian for Rigid Body} |
1225 |

2713 |
The motion of the rigid body is Hamiltonian with the Hamiltonian |
1226 |
|
|
function |
1227 |
tim |
2706 |
\begin{equation} |
1228 |
|
|
H = \frac{1}{2}(p^T m^{ - 1} p) + \frac{1}{2}tr(PJ^{ - 1} P) + |
1229 |
|
|
V(q,Q) + \frac{1}{2}tr[(QQ^T - 1)\Lambda ]. |
1230 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:RBHamiltonian} |
1231 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
1232 |
|
|
Here, $q$ and $Q$ are the position and rotation matrix for the |
1233 |
|
|
rigid-body, $p$ and $P$ are conjugate momenta to $q$ and $Q$ , and |
1234 |
|
|
$J$, a diagonal matrix, is defined by |
1235 |
|
|
\[ |
1236 |
|
|
I_{ii}^{ - 1} = \frac{1}{2}\sum\limits_{i \ne j} {J_{jj}^{ - 1} } |
1237 |
|
|
\] |
1238 |
|
|
where $I_{ii}$ is the diagonal element of the inertia tensor. This |
1239 |
|
|
constrained Hamiltonian equation subjects to a holonomic constraint, |
1240 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1241 |
|
|
Q^T Q = 1$, \label{introEquation:orthogonalConstraint} |
1242 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
1243 |
|
|
which is used to ensure rotation matrix's orthogonality. |
1244 |
|
|
Differentiating \ref{introEquation:orthogonalConstraint} and using |
1245 |
|
|
Equation \ref{introEquation:RBMotionMomentum}, one may obtain, |
1246 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1247 |
tim |
2707 |
Q^T PJ^{ - 1} + J^{ - 1} P^T Q = 0 . \\ |

|
|
1251 |
|
|
Using Equation (\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate}, |
1252 |
|
|
\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum}), one can write down |
1253 |
|
|
the equations of motion, |
1254 |
|
|
\[ |
1255 |
|
|
\begin{array}{c} |
1256 |
|
|
\frac{{dq}}{{dt}} = \frac{p}{m} \label{introEquation:RBMotionPosition}\\ |
1257 |
|
|
\frac{{dp}}{{dt}} = - \nabla _q V(q,Q) \label{introEquation:RBMotionMomentum}\\ |
1258 |
|
|
\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}} = PJ^{ - 1} \label{introEquation:RBMotionRotation}\\ |
1259 |
tim |
2707 |
\frac{{dP}}{{dt}} = - \nabla _Q V(q,Q) - 2Q\Lambda . \label{introEquation:RBMotionP}\\ |

In general, there are two ways to satisfy the holonomic constraints. |
1264 |
|
|
We can use constraint force provided by lagrange multiplier on the |
1265 |
|
|
normal manifold to keep the motion on constraint space. Or we can |
1266 |
|
|
simply evolve the system in constraint manifold. The two method are |
1267 |
|
|
proved to be equivalent. The holonomic constraint and equations of |
1268 |
|
|
motions define a constraint manifold for rigid body |
1269 |
|
|
\[ |
1270 |
|
|
M = \left\{ {(Q,P):Q^T Q = 1,Q^T PJ^{ - 1} + J^{ - 1} P^T Q = 0} |
1271 |
|
|
\right\}. |

Unfortunately, this constraint manifold is not the cotangent bundle |
1275 |
|
|
$T_{\star}SO(3)$. However, it turns out that under symplectic |
1276 |
|
|
transformation, the cotangent space and the phase space are |
1277 |
|
|
diffeomorphic. Introducing |
1278 |
tim |
2706 |
\[ |
1279 |
tim |
2707 |
\tilde Q = Q,\tilde P = \frac{1}{2}\left( {P - QP^T Q} \right), |
1280 |
tim |
2706 |
\] |
1281 |
tim |
2707 |
the mechanical system subject to a holonomic constraint manifold $M$ |
1282 |
|
|
can be re-formulated as a Hamiltonian system on the cotangent space |
1283 |
|
|
\[ |
1284 |
|
|
T^* SO(3) = \left\{ {(\tilde Q,\tilde P):\tilde Q^T \tilde Q = |
1285 |
|
|
1,\tilde Q^T \tilde PJ^{ - 1} + J^{ - 1} P^T \tilde Q = 0} \right\} |
1286 |

2707 |
For a body fixed vector $X_i$ with respect to the center of mass of |
1289 |
|
|
the rigid body, its corresponding lab fixed vector $X_0^{lab}$ is |
1290 |
|
|
given as |
1291 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1292 |
|
|
X_i^{lab} = Q X_i + q. |
1293 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
1294 |
|
|
Therefore, potential energy $V(q,Q)$ is defined by |
1295 |
|
|
\[ |
1296 |
|
|
V(q,Q) = V(Q X_0 + q). |
1297 |
|
|
\] |
1298 |

2713 |
Hence, the force and torque are given by |
1299 |
tim |
2707 |
\[ |
1300 |
tim |
2713 |
\nabla _q V(q,Q) = F(q,Q) = \sum\limits_i {F_i (q,Q)}, |
1301 |

2713 |
and |
1303 |
tim |
2707 |
\[ |
1304 |

\nabla _Q V(q,Q) = F(q,Q)X_i^t |

respectively. |

As a common choice to describe the rotation dynamics of the rigid |
1309 |
|
|
body, angular momentum on body frame $\Pi = Q^t P$ is introduced to |
1310 |
|
|
rewrite the equations of motion, |
1311 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1312 |

\mathop \Pi \limits^ \bullet = J^{ - 1} \Pi ^T \Pi + Q^T \sum\limits_i {F_i (q,Q)X_i^T } - \Lambda \\ |

\label{introEqaution:RBMotionPI} |

\[ |

For a vector $v(v_1 ,v_2 ,v_3 ) \in R^3$ and a matrix $\hat v \in |

Using \ref{introEqaution:RBMotionPI}, one can construct a skew |
1344 |

|
matrix, |
1345 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1346 |
|
|
(\mathop \Pi \limits^ \bullet - \mathop \Pi \limits^ \bullet ^T |
1347 |

|
(\Lambda - \Lambda ^T ) . \label{introEquation:skewMatrixPI} |
1350 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
1351 |
|
|
Since $\Lambda$ is symmetric, the last term of Equation |
1352 |
tim |
2713 |
\ref{introEquation:skewMatrixPI} is zero, which implies the Lagrange |
1353 |
|
|
multiplier $\Lambda$ is absent from the equations of motion. This |
1354 |
|
|
unique property eliminate the requirement of iterations which can |
1355 |
|
|
not be avoided in other methods\cite{}. |

Applying hat-map isomorphism, we obtain the equation of motion for |

given by |

Lie-Poisson Integrator for Free Rigid Body} |

If there is not external forces exerted on the rigid body, the only |
1374 |
|
|
contribution to the rotational is from the kinetic potential (the |
1375 |
|
|
first term of \ref{ introEquation:bodyAngularMotion}). The free |
1376 |
|
|
rigid body is an example of Lie-Poisson system with Hamiltonian |
1377 |
|
|
function |
1378 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1379 |
|
|
T^r (\pi ) = T_1 ^r (\pi _1 ) + T_2^r (\pi _2 ) + T_3^r (\pi _3 ) |
1380 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB} |
1381 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
1382 |
|
|
where $T_i^r (\pi _i ) = \frac{{\pi _i ^2 }}{{2I_i }}$ and |
1383 |
|
|
Lie-Poisson structure matrix, |
1384 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1385 |
|
|
J(\pi ) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
1386 |
|
|
0 & {\pi _3 } & { - \pi _2 } \\ |
1387 |
|
|
{ - \pi _3 } & 0 & {\pi _1 } \\ |
1388 |

{\pi _2 } & { - \pi _1 } & 0 \\ |
1389 |
|
|
\end{array}} \right) |
1390 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
1391 |

|
Thus, the dynamics of free rigid body is governed by |
1392 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1393 |
|

\frac{d}{{dt}}\pi = J(\pi )\nabla _\pi T^r (\pi ) |

One may notice that each $T_i^r$ in Equation |

\ref{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB} can be solved exactly. For |

instance, the equations of motion due to $T_1^r$ are given by |

To reduce the cost of computing expensive functions in $e^{\Delta |

1425 |
tim |
2713 |
\[ |
1426 |

e^{\Delta tR_1 } \approx (1 - \Delta tR_1 )^{ - 1} (1 + \Delta tR_1 |

The flow maps for $T_2^r$ and $T_3^r$ can be found in the same |

manner. |

|
In order to construct a second-order symplectic method, we split the |
1433 |
|
|
angular kinetic Hamiltonian function can into five terms |
1434 |
tim |
2707 |
\[ |
1435 |
tim |
2713 |
T^r (\pi ) = \frac{1}{2}T_1 ^r (\pi _1 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_2^r (\pi _2 |
1436 |
|
|
) + T_3^r (\pi _3 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_2^r (\pi _2 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_1 ^r |
1437 |
|
|
(\pi _1 ) |
1438 |
|

\]. |
1439 |

Concatenating flows corresponding to these five terms, we can obtain |
1440 |
|
|
an symplectic integrator, |
1441 |

If the Poisson bracket of a function $F$ with an arbitrary smooth |
1455 |
|
|
function $G$ is zero, $F$ is a \emph{Casimir}, which is the |
1456 |
|
|
conserved quantity in Poisson system. We can easily verify that the |
1457 |
|
|
norm of the angular momentum, $\parallel \pi |
1458 |
|
|
\parallel$, is a \emph{Casimir}. Let$ F(\pi ) = S(\frac{{\parallel |
1459 |
|
|
\pi \parallel ^2 }}{2})$ for an arbitrary function $ S:R \to R$ , |
1460 |
|
|
then by the chain rule |
1461 |
|
|
\[ |
1462 |
|
|
\nabla _\pi F(\pi ) = S'(\frac{{\parallel \pi \parallel ^2 |
1463 |
|
|
}}{2})\pi |
1464 |
|
|
\] |
1465 |
|
|
Thus $ [\nabla _\pi F(\pi )]^T J(\pi ) = - S'(\frac{{\parallel \pi |
1466 |
|
|
\parallel ^2 }}{2})\pi \times \pi = 0 $. This explicit |
1467 |
|
|
Lie-Poisson integrator is found to be extremely efficient and stable |
1468 |
|
|
which can be explained by the fact the small angle approximation is |
1469 |
|
|
used and the norm of the angular momentum is conserved. |

A second-order symplectic method is now obtained by the composition |

of the flow maps, |

\] |
1499 |
tim |

Moreover, $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}$ can be divided into two |

sub-flows which corresponding to force and torque respectively, |
1501 |
tim |
2713 |
\[ |

_{\Delta t/2,\tau }. |
1504 |
tim |
2707 |
\] |
1505 |
tim |
2713 |
Since the associated operators of $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,F} $ and |
1506 |
|
|
$\circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\tau }$ are commuted, the composition |
1507 |
tim |

order inside $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}$ does not matter. |

Furthermore, kinetic potential can be separated to translational |
1510 |
|
|
kinetic term, $T^t (p)$, and rotational kinetic term, $T^r (\pi )$, |
1511 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1512 |

|
T(p,\pi ) =T^t (p) + T^r (\pi ). |
1513 |

\end{equation} |
1514 |

where $ T^t (p) = \frac{1}{2}p^T m^{ - 1} p $ and $T^r (\pi )$ is |
1515 |
|
|
defined by \ref{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB}. Therefore, the |
1516 |
|
|
corresponding flow maps are given by |
1517 |
|
|
\[ |

\varphi _{\Delta t,T} = \varphi _{\Delta t,T^t } \circ \varphi |

As an alternative to newtonian dynamics, Langevin dynamics, which |

mimics a simple heat bath with stochastic and dissipative forces, |
1535 |

has been applied in a variety of studies. This section will review |

the theory of Langevin dynamics simulation. A brief derivation of |

generalized Langevin equation will be given first. Follow that, we |

Harmonic bath model, in which an effective set of harmonic |
1545 |
|
|
oscillators are used to mimic the effect of a linearly responding |
1546 |
|
|
environment, has been widely used in quantum chemistry and |
1547 |
|
|
statistical mechanics. One of the successful applications of |
1548 |
|
|
Harmonic bath model is the derivation of Deriving Generalized |
1549 |
|
|
Langevin Dynamics. Lets consider a system, in which the degree of |
1550 |
|
|
freedom $x$ is assumed to couple to the bath linearly, giving a |
1551 |
|
|
Hamiltonian of the form |
1552 |
tim |
2696 |
\begin{equation} |
1553 |
|
|
H = \frac{{p^2 }}{{2m}} + U(x) + H_B + \Delta U(x,x_1 , \ldots x_N) |
1554 |

\label{introEquation:bathGLE}. |
1555 |
tim |
2696 |
\end{equation} |
1556 |
tim |
2719 |
Here $p$ is a momentum conjugate to $q$, $m$ is the mass associated |
1557 |
|
|
with this degree of freedom, $H_B$ is harmonic bath Hamiltonian, |
1558 |
tim |
2696 |
\[ |
1559 |
tim |
2719 |
H_B = \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {\left\{ {\frac{{p_\alpha ^2 |
1560 |

1561 |

\right\}} |
1562 |
tim |
2696 |
\] |
1563 |
tim |
2719 |
where the index $\alpha$ runs over all the bath degrees of freedom, |
1564 |
|
|
$\omega _\alpha$ are the harmonic bath frequencies, $m_\alpha$ are |
1565 |
|
|
the harmonic bath masses, and $\Delta U$ is bilinear system-bath |
1566 |
|
|
coupling, |
1567 |
tim |
2696 |
\[ |
1568 |

\Delta U = - \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {g_\alpha x_\alpha x} |
1569 |
|
|
\] |
1570 |
tim |
2719 |
where $g_\alpha$ are the coupling constants between the bath and the |
1571 |
|
|
coordinate $x$. Introducing |
1572 |
tim |
2696 |
\[ |
1573 |

W(x) = U(x) - \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {\frac{{g_\alpha ^2 |
1574 |
|
|
}}{{2m_\alpha w_\alpha ^2 }}} x^2 |
1575 |
|
|
\] and combining the last two terms in Equation |
1576 |
|
|
\ref{introEquation:bathGLE}, we may rewrite the Harmonic bath |
1577 |
|
|
Hamiltonian as |
1578 |
tim |
2696 |
\[ |
1579 |
|
|
H = \frac{{p^2 }}{{2m}} + W(x) + \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N |
1580 |
|
|
{\left\{ {\frac{{p_\alpha ^2 }}{{2m_\alpha }} + \frac{1}{2}m_\alpha |
1581 |
|
|
w_\alpha ^2 \left( {x_\alpha - \frac{{g_\alpha }}{{m_\alpha |
1582 |

|
w_\alpha ^2 }}x} \right)^2 } \right\}} |
1583 |
|
|
\] |
1584 |

|
Since the first two terms of the new Hamiltonian depend only on the |
1585 |
|
|
system coordinates, we can get the equations of motion for |
1586 |

In order to derive an equation for $x$, the dynamics of the bath |
1603 |
|
|
variables $x_\alpha$ must be solved exactly first. As an integral |
1604 |
|
|
transform which is particularly useful in solving linear ordinary |
1605 |
|
|
differential equations, Laplace transform is the appropriate tool to |
1606 |
|
|
solve this problem. The basic idea is to transform the difficult |
1607 |
|
|
differential equations into simple algebra problems which can be |
1608 |
|
|
solved easily. Then applying inverse Laplace transform, also known |
1609 |
|
|
as the Bromwich integral, we can retrieve the solutions of the |
1610 |
|

original problems. |

Let $f(t)$ be a function defined on $ [0,\infty ) $. The Laplace |

L(\dot x) = pL(x) - px(0) \\ |

L(\ddot x) = p^2 L(x) - px(0) - \dot x(0) \\ |

L\left( {\int_0^t {g(t - \tau )h(\tau )d\tau } } \right) = G(p)H(p) \\ |

Applying Laplace transform to the bath coordinates, we obtain |

\begin{array}{c} |

L(x_\alpha ) = \frac{{\frac{{g_\alpha }}{{\omega _\alpha }}L(x) + px_\alpha (0) + \dot x_\alpha (0)}}{{p^2 + \omega _\alpha ^2 }} \\ |

\] |
1717 |
tim |
2719 |
depends on the entire history of the evolution of $x$, which implies |
1718 |
|
|
that the bath retains memory of previous motions. In other words, |
1719 |
|
|
the bath requires a finite time to respond to change in the motion |
1720 |
|
|
of the system. For a sluggish bath which responds slowly to changes |
1721 |
|
|
in the system coordinate, we may regard $\xi(t)$ as a constant |
1722 |
|
|
$\xi(t) = \Xi_0$. Hence, the convolution integral becomes |
1723 |
|
|
\[ |
1724 |
|
|
\int_0^t {\xi (t)\dot x(t - \tau )d\tau } = \xi _0 (x(t) - x(0)) |
1725 |
|
|
\] |
1726 |
|
|
and Equation \ref{introEuqation:GeneralizedLangevinDynamics} becomes |
1727 |
|
|
\[ |
1728 |
|
|
m\ddot x = - \frac{\partial }{{\partial x}}\left( {W(x) + |
1729 |
|
|
\frac{1}{2}\xi _0 (x - x_0 )^2 } \right) + R(t), |
1730 |
|
|
\] |
1731 |
|
|
which can be used to describe dynamic caging effect. The other |
1732 |
|
|
extreme is the bath that responds infinitely quickly to motions in |
1733 |
|
|
the system. Thus, $\xi (t)$ can be taken as a $delta$ function in |
1734 |
|
|
time: |
1735 |
|
|
\[ |
1736 |
|
|
\xi (t) = 2\xi _0 \delta (t) |
1737 |
|
|
\] |
1738 |
|
|
Hence, the convolution integral becomes |
1739 |
|
|
\[ |
1740 |
|
|
\int_0^t {\xi (t)\dot x(t - \tau )d\tau } = 2\xi _0 \int_0^t |
1741 |
|
|
{\delta (t)\dot x(t - \tau )d\tau } = \xi _0 \dot x(t), |
1742 |
|
|
\] |
1743 |

|
and Equation \ref{introEuqation:GeneralizedLangevinDynamics} becomes |
1744 |

\begin{equation} |
1745 |

m\ddot x = - \frac{{\partial W(x)}}{{\partial x}} - \xi _0 \dot |

\end{equation} |
1748 |

which is known as the Langevin equation. The static friction |
1749 |
|
|
coefficient $\xi _0$ can either be calculated from spectral density |
1750 |
|
|
or be determined by Stokes' law for regular shaped particles.A |

Defining a new set of coordinates, |
1757 |
tim |
2696 |
\[ |
1758 |
|

q_\alpha (t) = x_\alpha (t) - \frac{1}{{m_\alpha \omega _\alpha |
1759 |

|
^2 }}x(0) |
1760 |
tim |
2719 |
\], |
1761 |
|
|
we can rewrite $R(T)$ as |
1762 |
tim |
2696 |
\[ |
1763 |
tim |
2719 |
R(t) = \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {g_\alpha q_\alpha (t)}. |
1764 |
tim |
2696 |
\] |
1765 |
|
|
And since the $q$ coordinates are harmonic oscillators, |
1766 |
|
|
\[ |
1767 |
tim |
2719 |
\begin{array}{c} |
1768 |

Thus, we recover the \emph{second fluctuation dissipation theorem} |
1777 |
tim |

\begin{equation} |

In effect, it acts as a constraint on the possible ways in which one |

Theoretically, the friction kernel can be determined using velocity |
1786 |
|
|
autocorrelation function. However, this approach become impractical |
1787 |
|
|
when the system become more and more complicate. Instead, various |
1788 |
|
|
approaches based on hydrodynamics have been developed to calculate |
1789 |
|
|
the friction coefficients. The friction effect is isotropic in |
1790 |
|
|
Equation, \zeta can be taken as a scalar. In general, friction |
1791 |
|
|
tensor \Xi is a $6\times 6$ matrix given by |
1792 |
|
|
\[ |
1793 |
|
|
\Xi = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
1794 |
|
|
{\Xi _{}^{tt} } & {\Xi _{}^{rt} } \\ |
1795 |
|
|
{\Xi _{}^{tr} } & {\Xi _{}^{rr} } \\ |
1796 |
|
|
\end{array}} \right). |
1797 |

\] |
1798 |

Here, $ {\Xi^{tt} }$ and $ {\Xi^{rr} }$ are translational friction |
1799 |

tensor and rotational resistance (friction) tensor respectively, |
1800 |
|
|
while ${\Xi^{tr} }$ is translation-rotation coupling tensor and $ |
1801 |
|
|
{\Xi^{rt} }$ is rotation-translation coupling tensor. When a |
1802 |

particle moves in a fluid, it may experience friction force or |
1803 |

torque along the opposite direction of the velocity or angular |

For a spherical particle, the translational and rotational friction |

constant can be calculated from Stoke's law, |

hydrodynamics radius. |

Other non-spherical shape, such as cylinder and ellipsoid |
1843 |

|
\textit{etc}, are widely used as reference for developing new |
1844 |
|
|
hydrodynamics theory, because their properties can be calculated |
1845 |
|
|
exactly. In 1936, Perrin extended Stokes's law to general ellipsoid, |
1846 |

also called a triaxial ellipsoid, which is given in Cartesian |
1847 |
|
|
coordinates by |
1848 |

2716 |
\[ |
1849 |

where the semi-axes are of lengths $a$, $b$, and $c$. Unfortunately, |
1853 |

due to the complexity of the elliptic integral, only the ellipsoid |

1855 |

prolate($ a \ge b = c$) and oblate ($ a < b = c $), can be solved |
1856 |

exactly. Introducing an elliptic integral parameter $S$ for prolate, |

Unlike spherical and other regular shaped molecules, there is not |
1885 |
|
|
analytical solution for friction tensor of any arbitrary shaped |
1886 |
|
|
rigid molecules. The ellipsoid of revolution model and general |
1887 |
|
|
triaxial ellipsoid model have been used to approximate the |
1888 |
|
|
hydrodynamic properties of rigid bodies. However, since the mapping |
1889 |
|
|
from all possible ellipsoidal space, $r$-space, to all possible |
1890 |
|
|
combination of rotational diffusion coefficients, $D$-space is not |
1891 |
|
|
unique\cite{Wegener79} as well as the intrinsic coupling between |
1892 |
|
|
translational and rotational motion of rigid body\cite{}, general |
1893 |
|
|
ellipsoid is not always suitable for modeling arbitrarily shaped |
1894 |
|
|
rigid molecule. A number of studies have been devoted to determine |
1895 |
|
|
the friction tensor for irregularly shaped rigid bodies using more |
1896 |
|
|
advanced method\cite{} where the molecule of interest was modeled by |
1897 |
|
|
combinations of spheres(beads)\cite{} and the hydrodynamics |
1898 |
|
|
properties of the molecule can be calculated using the hydrodynamic |
1899 |
|
|
interaction tensor. Let us consider a rigid assembly of $N$ beads |
1900 |
|
|
immersed in a continuous medium. Due to hydrodynamics interaction, |
1901 |
|
|
the ``net'' velocity of $i$th bead, $v'_i$ is different than its |
1902 |
|
|
unperturbed velocity $v_i$, |
1903 |
|
|
\[ |
1904 |
|
|
v'_i = v_i - \sum\limits_{j \ne i} {T_{ij} F_j } |
1905 |
|
|
\] |
1906 |
|
|
where $F_i$ is the frictional force, and $T_{ij}$ is the |
1907 |
|
|
hydrodynamic interaction tensor. The friction force of $i$th bead is |
1908 |
|
|
proportional to its ``net'' velocity |
1909 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1910 |

|
F_i = \zeta _i v_i - \zeta _i \sum\limits_{j \ne i} {T_{ij} F_j }. |
1911 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:tensorExpression} |
1912 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
1913 |

This equation is the basis for deriving the hydrodynamic tensor. In |

Here $R_{ij}$ is the distance vector between bead $i$ and bead $j$. |

A second order expression for element of different size was |

introduced by Rotne and Prager\cite{} and improved by Garc\'{i}a de |

The resistance tensor depends on the origin to which they refer. The |
1990 |
|
|
proper location for applying friction force is the center of |
1991 |
|
|
resistance (reaction), at which the trace of rotational resistance |
1992 |
|
|
tensor, $ \Xi ^{rr}$ reaches minimum. Mathematically, the center of |
1993 |
|
|
resistance is defined as an unique point of the rigid body at which |
1994 |
|
|
the translation-rotation coupling tensor are symmetric, |
1995 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
1996 |
|

\Xi^{tr} = \left( {\Xi^{tr} } \right)^T |

|
\end{equation} |
1999 |
|
|
Form Equation \ref{introEquation:ResistanceTensorArbitraryOrigin}, |
2000 |
|
|
we can easily find out that the translational resistance tensor is |
2001 |
|
|
origin independent, while the rotational resistance tensor and |
2002 |
tim |
2719 |
translation-rotation coupling resistance tensor depend on the |
2003 |
tim |
2718 |
origin. Given resistance tensor at an arbitrary origin $O$, and a |
2004 |
|
|
vector ,$r_{OP}(x_{OP}, y_{OP}, z_{OP})$, from $O$ to $P$, we can |
2005 |
|
|
obtain the resistance tensor at $P$ by |

|
|
\begin{equation} |
2007 |

\begin{array}{l} |

\Xi _P^{tt} = \Xi _O^{tt} \\ |
2009 |
|
|
\Xi _P^{tr} = \Xi _P^{rt} = \Xi _O^{tr} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tt} \\ |
2010 |
|
|
\Xi _P^{rr} = \Xi _O^{rr} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tt} U_{OP} + \Xi _O^{tr} U_{OP} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tr} ^{^T } \\ |
