Arising from Lagrangian Mechanics, Hamiltonian Mechanics was |
129 |
|
introduced by William Rowan Hamilton in 1833 as a re-formulation of |
130 |
|
classical mechanics. If the potential energy of a system is |

An important difference between Lagrangian approach and the |

|
Hamiltonian approach is that the Lagrangian is considered to be a |

function of the generalized velocities $\dot q_i$ and the |
192 |

generalized coordinates $q_i$, while the Hamiltonian is considered |
193 |

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 |

< |
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 |

use ensembles containing a large enough population of separate |

Governed by the principles of mechanics, the phase points change |

their value which would change the density at any time at phase |

\subsubsection{\textbf{Preliminary preparation}} |
896 |
|
|
897 |
+ |
When selecting the starting structure of a molecule for molecular |
898 |
+ |
simulation, one may retrieve its Cartesian coordinates from public |
899 |
+ |
databases, such as RCSB Protein Data Bank \textit{etc}. Although |
900 |
+ |
thousands of crystal structures of molecules are discovered every |
901 |
+ |
year, many more remain unknown due to the difficulties of |
902 |
+ |
purification and crystallization. Even for molecules with known |
903 |
+ |
structure, some important information is missing. For example, a |
904 |
+ |
missing hydrogen atom which acts as donor in hydrogen bonding must |
905 |
+ |
be added. Moreover, in order to include electrostatic interaction, |
906 |
+ |
one may need to specify the partial charges for individual atoms. |
907 |
+ |
Under some circumstances, we may even need to prepare the system in |
908 |
+ |
a special configuration. For instance, when studying transport |
909 |
+ |
phenomenon in membrane systems, we may prepare the lipids in a |
910 |
+ |
bilayer structure instead of placing lipids randomly in solvent, |
911 |
+ |
since we are not interested in the slow self-aggregation process. |
912 |
+ |
|
913 |
+ |
\subsubsection{\textbf{Minimization}} |
914 |
+ |
|
915 |
+ |
It is quite possible that some of molecules in the system from |
916 |
+ |
preliminary preparation may be overlapping with each other. This |
917 |
+ |
close proximity leads to high initial potential energy which |
918 |
+ |
consequently jeopardizes any molecular dynamics simulations. To |
919 |
+ |
remove these steric overlaps, one typically performs energy |
920 |
+ |
minimization to find a more reasonable conformation. Several energy |
921 |
+ |
minimization methods have been developed to exploit the energy |
922 |
+ |
surface and to locate the local minimum. While converging slowly |
923 |
+ |
near the minimum, steepest descent method is extremely robust when |
924 |
+ |
systems are strongly anharmonic. Thus, it is often used to refine |
925 |
+ |
structure from crystallographic data. Relied on the gradient or |
926 |
+ |
hessian, advanced methods like Newton-Raphson converge rapidly to a |
927 |
+ |
local minimum, but become unstable if the energy surface is far from |
928 |
+ |
quadratic. Another factor that must be taken into account, when |
929 |
+ |
choosing energy minimization method, is the size of the system. |
930 |
+ |
Steepest descent and conjugate gradient can deal with models of any |
931 |
+ |
size. Because of the limits on computer memory to store the hessian |
932 |
+ |
matrix and the computing power needed to diagonalized these |
933 |
+ |
matrices, most Newton-Raphson methods can not be used with very |
934 |
+ |
large systems. |
935 |
+ |
|
936 |
+ |
\subsubsection{\textbf{Heating}} |
937 |
+ |
|
938 |
+ |
Typically, Heating is performed by assigning random velocities |
939 |
+ |
according to a Maxwell-Boltzman distribution for a desired |
940 |
+ |
temperature. Beginning at a lower temperature and gradually |
941 |
+ |
increasing the temperature by assigning larger random velocities, we |
942 |
+ |
end up with setting the temperature of the system to a final |
943 |
+ |
temperature at which the simulation will be conducted. In heating |
944 |
+ |
phase, we should also keep the system from drifting or rotating as a |
945 |
+ |
whole. To do this, the net linear momentum and angular momentum of |
946 |
+ |
the system is shifted to zero after each resampling from the Maxwell |
947 |
+ |
-Boltzman distribution. |
948 |
+ |
|
949 |
+ |
\subsubsection{\textbf{Equilibration}} |
950 |
+ |
|
951 |
+ |
The purpose of equilibration is to allow the system to evolve |
952 |
+ |
spontaneously for a period of time and reach equilibrium. The |
953 |
+ |
procedure is continued until various statistical properties, such as |
954 |
+ |
temperature, pressure, energy, volume and other structural |
955 |
+ |
properties \textit{etc}, become independent of time. Strictly |
956 |
+ |
speaking, minimization and heating are not necessary, provided the |
957 |
+ |
equilibration process is long enough. However, these steps can serve |
958 |
+ |
as a means to arrive at an equilibrated structure in an effective |
959 |
+ |
way. |
960 |
+ |
|
961 |
+ |
\subsection{\label{introSection:production}Production} |
962 |
+ |
|
963 |
+ |
The production run is the most important step of the simulation, in |
964 |
+ |
which the equilibrated structure is used as a starting point and the |
965 |
+ |
motions of the molecules are collected for later analysis. In order |
966 |
+ |
to capture the macroscopic properties of the system, the molecular |
967 |
+ |
dynamics simulation must be performed by sampling correctly and |
968 |
+ |
efficiently from the relevant thermodynamic ensemble. |
969 |
+ |
|
970 |
+ |
The most expensive part of a molecular dynamics simulation is the |
971 |
+ |
calculation of non-bonded forces, such as van der Waals force and |
972 |
+ |
Coulombic forces \textit{etc}. For a system of $N$ particles, the |
973 |
+ |
complexity of the algorithm for pair-wise interactions is $O(N^2 )$, |
974 |
+ |
which making large simulations prohibitive in the absence of any |
975 |
+ |
algorithmic tricks. |
976 |
+ |
|
977 |
+ |
A natural approach to avoid system size issues is to represent the |
978 |
+ |
bulk behavior by a finite number of the particles. However, this |
979 |
+ |
approach will suffer from the surface effect at the edges of the |
980 |
+ |
simulation. To offset this, \textit{Periodic boundary conditions} |
981 |
+ |
(see Fig.~\ref{introFig:pbc}) is developed to simulate bulk |
982 |
+ |
properties with a relatively small number of particles. In this |
983 |
+ |
method, the simulation box is replicated throughout space to form an |
984 |
+ |
infinite lattice. During the simulation, when a particle moves in |
985 |
+ |
the primary cell, its image in other cells move in exactly the same |
986 |
+ |
direction with exactly the same orientation. Thus, as a particle |
987 |
+ |
leaves the primary cell, one of its images will enter through the |
988 |
+ |
opposite face. |
989 |
+ |

%cutoff and minimum image convention |
999 |
+ |
Another important technique to improve the efficiency of force |
1000 |
+ |
evaluation is to apply spherical cutoff where particles farther than |
1001 |
+ |
a predetermined distance are not included in the calculation |
1002 |
+ |
\cite{Frenkel1996}. The use of a cutoff radius will cause a |
1003 |
+ |
discontinuity in the potential energy curve. Fortunately, one can |
1004 |
+ |
shift simple radial potential to ensure the potential curve go |
1005 |
+ |
smoothly to zero at the cutoff radius. The cutoff strategy works |
1006 |
+ |
well for Lennard-Jones interaction because of its short range |
1007 |
+ |
nature. However, simply truncating the electrostatic interaction |
1008 |
+ |
with the use of cutoffs has been shown to lead to severe artifacts |
1009 |
+ |
in simulations. The Ewald summation, in which the slowly decaying |
1010 |
+ |
Coulomb potential is transformed into direct and reciprocal sums |
1011 |
+ |
with rapid and absolute convergence, has proved to minimize the |
1012 |
+ |
periodicity artifacts in liquid simulations. Taking the advantages |
1013 |
+ |
of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) for calculating discrete Fourier |
1014 |
+ |
transforms, the particle mesh-based |
1015 |
+ |
methods\cite{Hockney1981,Shimada1993, Luty1994} are accelerated from |
1016 |
+ |
$O(N^{3/2})$ to $O(N logN)$. An alternative approach is the |
1017 |
+ |
\emph{fast multipole method}\cite{Greengard1987, Greengard1994}, |
1018 |
+ |
which treats Coulombic interactions exactly at short range, and |
1019 |
+ |
approximate the potential at long range through multipolar |
1020 |
+ |
expansion. In spite of their wide acceptance at the molecular |
1021 |
+ |
simulation community, these two methods are difficult to implement |
1022 |
+ |
correctly and efficiently. Instead, we use a damped and |
1023 |
+ |
charge-neutralized Coulomb potential method developed by Wolf and |
1024 |
+ |
his coworkers\cite{Wolf1999}. The shifted Coulomb potential for |
1025 |
+ |
particle $i$ and particle $j$ at distance $r_{rj}$ is given by: |
1026 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
1027 |
+ |
V(r_{ij})= \frac{q_i q_j \textrm{erfc}(\alpha |
1028 |
+ |
r_{ij})}{r_{ij}}-\lim_{r_{ij}\rightarrow |
1029 |
+ |
R_\textrm{c}}\left\{\frac{q_iq_j \textrm{erfc}(\alpha |
1030 |
+ |
r_{ij})}{r_{ij}}\right\}. \label{introEquation:shiftedCoulomb} |
1031 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
1032 |
+ |
where $\alpha$ is the convergence parameter. Due to the lack of |
1033 |
+ |
inherent periodicity and rapid convergence,this method is extremely |
1034 |
+ |
efficient and easy to implement. |

\subsection{\label{introSection:Analysis} Analysis} |
1046 |
+ |
|
1047 |
+ |
Recently, advanced visualization technique have become applied to |
1048 |
+ |
monitor the motions of molecules. Although the dynamics of the |
1049 |
+ |
system can be described qualitatively from animation, quantitative |
1050 |
+ |
trajectory analysis are more useful. According to the principles of |
1051 |
+ |
Statistical Mechanics, Sec.~\ref{introSection:statisticalMechanics}, |
1052 |
+ |
one can compute thermodynamic properties, analyze fluctuations of |
1053 |
+ |
structural parameters, and investigate time-dependent processes of |
1054 |
+ |
the molecule from the trajectories. |
1055 |
+ |
|
1056 |
+ |
\subsubsection{\label{introSection:thermodynamicsProperties}\textbf{Thermodynamic Properties}} |
1057 |
+ |
|
1058 |
+ |
Thermodynamic properties, which can be expressed in terms of some |
1059 |
+ |
function of the coordinates and momenta of all particles in the |
1060 |
+ |
system, can be directly computed from molecular dynamics. The usual |
1061 |
+ |
way to measure the pressure is based on virial theorem of Clausius |
1062 |
+ |
which states that the virial is equal to $-3Nk_BT$. For a system |
1063 |
+ |
with forces between particles, the total virial, $W$, contains the |
1064 |
+ |
contribution from external pressure and interaction between the |
1065 |
+ |
particles: |
1066 |
+ |
\[ |
1067 |
+ |
W = - 3PV + \left\langle {\sum\limits_{i < j} {r{}_{ij} \cdot |
1068 |
+ |
f_{ij} } } \right\rangle |
1069 |
+ |
\] |
1070 |
+ |
where $f_{ij}$ is the force between particle $i$ and $j$ at a |
1071 |
+ |
distance $r_{ij}$. Thus, the expression for the pressure is given |
1072 |
+ |
by: |
1073 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
1074 |
+ |
P = \frac{{Nk_B T}}{V} - \frac{1}{{3V}}\left\langle {\sum\limits_{i |

1080 |
+ |
Structural Properties of a simple fluid can be described by a set of |
1081 |
+ |
distribution functions. Among these functions,the \emph{pair |
1082 |
+ |
distribution function}, also known as \emph{radial distribution |
1083 |
+ |
function}, is of most fundamental importance to liquid theory. |
1084 |
+ |
Experimentally, pair distribution function can be gathered by |
1085 |
+ |
Fourier transforming raw data from a series of neutron diffraction |
1086 |
+ |
experiments and integrating over the surface factor |
1087 |
+ |
\cite{Powles1973}. The experimental results can serve as a criterion |
1088 |
+ |
to justify the correctness of a liquid model. Moreover, various |
1089 |
+ |
equilibrium thermodynamic and structural properties can also be |
1090 |
+ |
expressed in terms of radial distribution function \cite{Allen1987}. |
1091 |
+ |
|
1092 |
+ |
The pair distribution functions $g(r)$ gives the probability that a |
1093 |
+ |
particle $i$ will be located at a distance $r$ from a another |
1094 |
+ |
particle $j$ in the system |
1095 |
+ |
\[ |
1096 |
+ |
g(r) = \frac{V}{{N^2 }}\left\langle {\sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_{j |
1097 |
+ |
\ne i} {\delta (r - r_{ij} )} } } \right\rangle = \frac{\rho |
1098 |
+ |
(r)}{\rho}. |
1099 |
+ |
\] |
1100 |
+ |
Note that the delta function can be replaced by a histogram in |
1101 |
+ |
computer simulation. Peaks in $g(r)$ represent solvent shells, and |
1102 |
+ |
the height of these peaks gradually decreases to 1 as the liquid of |
1103 |
+ |
large distance approaches the bulk density. |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:timeDependentProperties}\textbf{Time-dependent |
1107 |
+ |
Properties}} |
1108 |
+ |
|
1109 |
+ |
Time-dependent properties are usually calculated using \emph{time |
1110 |
+ |
correlation functions}, which correlate random variables $A$ and $B$ |
1111 |
+ |
at two different times, |
1112 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
1113 |
+ |
C_{AB} (t) = \left\langle {A(t)B(0)} \right\rangle. |
1114 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:timeCorrelationFunction} |
1115 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
1116 |
+ |
If $A$ and $B$ refer to same variable, this kind of correlation |
1117 |
+ |
function is called an \emph{autocorrelation function}. One example |
1118 |
+ |
of an auto correlation function is the velocity auto-correlation |
1119 |
+ |
function which is directly related to transport properties of |
1120 |
+ |
molecular liquids: |
1121 |
+ |
\[ |
1122 |
+ |
D = \frac{1}{3}\int\limits_0^\infty {\left\langle {v(t) \cdot v(0)} |
1123 |
+ |
\right\rangle } dt |
1124 |
+ |
\] |
1125 |
+ |
where $D$ is diffusion constant. Unlike the velocity autocorrelation |
1126 |
+ |
function, which is averaging over time origins and over all the |
1127 |
+ |
atoms, the dipole autocorrelation functions are calculated for the |
1128 |
+ |
entire system. The dipole autocorrelation function is given by: |
1129 |
+ |
\[ |
1130 |
+ |
c_{dipole} = \left\langle {u_{tot} (t) \cdot u_{tot} (t)} |
1131 |
+ |
\right\rangle |
1132 |
+ |
\] |
1133 |
+ |
Here $u_{tot}$ is the net dipole of the entire system and is given |
1134 |
+ |
by |
1135 |
+ |
\[ |
1136 |
+ |
u_{tot} (t) = \sum\limits_i {u_i (t)} |
1137 |
+ |
\] |
1138 |
+ |
In principle, many time correlation functions can be related with |
1139 |
+ |
Fourier transforms of the infrared, Raman, and inelastic neutron |
1140 |
+ |
scattering spectra of molecular liquids. In practice, one can |
1141 |
+ |
extract the IR spectrum from the intensity of dipole fluctuation at |
1142 |
+ |
each frequency using the following relationship: |
1143 |
+ |
\[ |
1144 |
+ |
\hat c_{dipole} (v) = \int_{ - \infty }^\infty {c_{dipole} (t)e^{ - |
1145 |
+ |
i2\pi vt} dt} |

Rigid bodies are frequently involved in the modeling of different |

areas, from engineering, physics, to chemistry. For example, |

A break-through in geometric literature suggests that, in order to |

Harmonic bath model is the derivation of the Generalized Langevin |

Let $f(t)$ be a function defined on $ [0,\infty ) $. The Laplace |
1586 |
+ |
transform of f(t) is a new function defined as |
1587 |
|
\[ |

\] |
1590 |
+ |
where $p$ is real and $L$ is called the Laplace Transform |
1591 |
+ |
Operator. Below are some important properties of Laplace transform |
1592 |
|
|
1593 |
< |
\[ |
1594 |

L(\dot x) = pL(x) - px(0) |
1595 |

\] |

\begin{eqnarray*} |

1597 |

L(\ddot x)& = & p^2 L(x) - px(0) - \dot x(0) \\ |
1598 |
> |
L\left( {\int_0^t {g(t - \tau )h(\tau )d\tau } } \right)& = & G(p)H(p) \\ |
1599 |

\end{eqnarray*} |
1600 |
|
|
1330 |
– |
\[ |
1331 |
– |
L(\ddot x) = p^2 L(x) - px(0) - \dot x(0) |
1332 |
– |
\] |
1601 |
|
|
1602 |
+ |
Applying the Laplace transform to the bath coordinates, we obtain |
1603 |
+ |
\begin{eqnarray*} |
1604 |
+ |
p^2 L(x_\alpha ) - px_\alpha (0) - \dot x_\alpha (0) & = & - \omega _\alpha ^2 L(x_\alpha ) + \frac{{g_\alpha }}{{\omega _\alpha }}L(x) \\ |
1605 |

L(x_\alpha ) & = & \frac{{\frac{{g_\alpha }}{{\omega _\alpha }}L(x) + px_\alpha (0) + \dot x_\alpha (0)}}{{p^2 + \omega _\alpha ^2 }} \\ |
1606 |
+ |
\end{eqnarray*} |
1607 |
+ |
|
1608 |
+ |
By the same way, the system coordinates become |
1609 |
+ |
\begin{eqnarray*} |
1610 |
+ |
mL(\ddot x) & = & - \frac{1}{p}\frac{{\partial W(x)}}{{\partial x}} \\ |
1611 |

& & \mbox{} - \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {\left\{ { - \frac{{g_\alpha ^2 }}{{m_\alpha \omega _\alpha ^2 }}\frac{p}{{p^2 + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}pL(x) - \frac{p}{{p^2 + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}g_\alpha x_\alpha (0) - \frac{1}{{p^2 + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}g_\alpha \dot x_\alpha (0)} \right\}} \\ |

\subsection{\label{introSection:frictionTensor} Friction Tensor} |
1452 |
< |
Theoretically, the friction kernel can be determined using velocity |
1453 |
< |
autocorrelation function. However, this approach become impractical |
1454 |
< |
when the system become more and more complicate. Instead, various |
1455 |
< |
approaches based on hydrodynamics have been developed to calculate |
1456 |
< |
the friction coefficients. The friction effect is isotropic in |
1457 |
< |
Equation, \zeta can be taken as a scalar. In general, friction |
1458 |
< |
tensor \Xi is a $6\times 6$ matrix given by |
1459 |
< |
\[ |
1460 |
< |
\Xi = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
1461 |
< |
{\Xi _{}^{tt} } & {\Xi _{}^{rt} } \\ |
1462 |
< |
{\Xi _{}^{tr} } & {\Xi _{}^{rr} } \\ |
1463 |
< |
\end{array}} \right). |
1464 |
< |
\] |
1465 |
< |
Here, $ {\Xi^{tt} }$ and $ {\Xi^{rr} }$ are translational friction |
1466 |
< |
tensor and rotational resistance (friction) tensor respectively, |
1467 |
< |
while ${\Xi^{tr} }$ is translation-rotation coupling tensor and $ |
1468 |
< |
{\Xi^{rt} }$ is rotation-translation coupling tensor. When a |
1469 |
< |
particle moves in a fluid, it may experience friction force or |
1470 |
< |
torque along the opposite direction of the velocity or angular |
1471 |
< |
velocity, |
1472 |

For a spherical particle, the translational and rotational friction |

1505 |
< |
\] |
1506 |
< |
where $\eta$ is the viscosity of the solvent and $R$ is the |
1507 |
< |
hydrodynamics radius. |
1508 |
< |
|
1509 |
< |
Other non-spherical shape, such as cylinder and ellipsoid |
1510 |
< |
\textit{etc}, are widely used as reference for developing new |
1511 |
< |
hydrodynamics theory, because their properties can be calculated |
1512 |
< |
exactly. In 1936, Perrin extended Stokes's law to general ellipsoid, |
1513 |
< |
also called a triaxial ellipsoid, which is given in Cartesian |
1514 |
< |
coordinates by |
1515 |
< |
\[ |
1516 |
< |
\frac{{x^2 }}{{a^2 }} + \frac{{y^2 }}{{b^2 }} + \frac{{z^2 }}{{c^2 |
1517 |
< |
}} = 1 |
1518 |
< |
\] |
1519 |
< |
where the semi-axes are of lengths $a$, $b$, and $c$. Unfortunately, |
1520 |
< |
due to the complexity of the elliptic integral, only the ellipsoid |
1521 |
< |
with the restriction of two axes having to be equal, \textit{i.e.} |
1522 |
< |
prolate($ a \ge b = c$) and oblate ($ a < b = c $), can be solved |
1523 |
< |
exactly. Introducing an elliptic integral parameter $S$ for prolate, |
1524 |
< |
\[ |
1525 |
< |
S = \frac{2}{{\sqrt {a^2 - b^2 } }}\ln \frac{{a + \sqrt {a^2 - b^2 |

and oblate, |
1529 |

1551 |

Unlike spherical and other regular shaped molecules, there is not |
1552 |
< |
analytical solution for friction tensor of any arbitrary shaped |
1553 |
< |
rigid molecules. The ellipsoid of revolution model and general |
1554 |
< |
triaxial ellipsoid model have been used to approximate the |
1555 |
< |
hydrodynamic properties of rigid bodies. However, since the mapping |
1556 |
< |
from all possible ellipsoidal space, $r$-space, to all possible |
1557 |
< |
combination of rotational diffusion coefficients, $D$-space is not |
1558 |
< |
unique\cite{Wegener79} as well as the intrinsic coupling between |
1559 |
< |
translational and rotational motion of rigid body\cite{}, general |
1560 |
< |
ellipsoid is not always suitable for modeling arbitrarily shaped |
1561 |
< |
rigid molecule. A number of studies have been devoted to determine |
1562 |
< |
the friction tensor for irregularly shaped rigid bodies using more |
1563 |
< |
advanced method\cite{} where the molecule of interest was modeled by |
1564 |
< |
combinations of spheres(beads)\cite{} and the hydrodynamics |
1565 |
< |
properties of the molecule can be calculated using the hydrodynamic |
1566 |
< |
interaction tensor. Let us consider a rigid assembly of $N$ beads |
1567 |
< |
immersed in a continuous medium. Due to hydrodynamics interaction, |
1568 |
< |
the ``net'' velocity of $i$th bead, $v'_i$ is different than its |
1569 |
< |
unperturbed velocity $v_i$, |
1570 |
< |
\[ |
1571 |

v'_i = v_i - \sum\limits_{j \ne i} {T_{ij} F_j } |
1572 |

\] |
1573 |
< |
where $F_i$ is the frictional force, and $T_{ij}$ is the |
1574 |
< |
hydrodynamic interaction tensor. The friction force of $i$th bead is |
1575 |
< |
proportional to its ``net'' velocity |
1576 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
1577 |
< |
F_i = \zeta _i v_i - \zeta _i \sum\limits_{j \ne i} {T_{ij} F_j }. |
1578 |
< |
\label{introEquation:tensorExpression} |
1579 |
< |
\end{equation} |
1580 |
< |
This equation is the basis for deriving the hydrodynamic tensor. In |
1581 |
< |
1930, Oseen and Burgers gave a simple solution to Equation |
1582 |
< |
\ref{introEquation:tensorExpression} |
1583 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
1584 |
< |
T_{ij} = \frac{1}{{8\pi \eta r_{ij} }}\left( {I + \frac{{R_{ij} |
1585 |
< |
R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij}^2 }}} \right). |
1586 |
< |
\label{introEquation:oseenTensor} |
1587 |
< |
\end{equation} |
1588 |
< |
Here $R_{ij}$ is the distance vector between bead $i$ and bead $j$. |
1589 |
< |
A second order expression for element of different size was |
1590 |
< |
introduced by Rotne and Prager\cite{} and improved by Garc\'{i}a de |
1591 |
< |
la Torre and Bloomfield, |
1592 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
1593 |
< |
T_{ij} = \frac{1}{{8\pi \eta R_{ij} }}\left[ {\left( {I + |
1594 |
< |
\frac{{R_{ij} R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij}^2 }}} \right) + R\frac{{\sigma |
1595 |
< |
_i^2 + \sigma _j^2 }}{{r_{ij}^2 }}\left( {\frac{I}{3} - |
1596 |
< |
\frac{{R_{ij} R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij}^2 }}} \right)} \right]. |
1597 |
< |
\label{introEquation:RPTensorNonOverlapped} |
1598 |
< |
\end{equation} |
1599 |
< |
Both of the Equation \ref{introEquation:oseenTensor} and Equation |
1600 |
< |
\ref{introEquation:RPTensorNonOverlapped} have an assumption $R_{ij} |
1601 |
< |
\ge \sigma _i + \sigma _j$. An alternative expression for |
1602 |
< |
overlapping beads with the same radius, $\sigma$, is given by |
1603 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
1604 |
< |
T_{ij} = \frac{1}{{6\pi \eta R_{ij} }}\left[ {\left( {1 - |
1605 |
< |
\frac{2}{{32}}\frac{{R_{ij} }}{\sigma }} \right)I + |
1606 |
< |
\frac{2}{{32}}\frac{{R_{ij} R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij} \sigma }}} \right] |
1607 |
< |
\label{introEquation:RPTensorOverlapped} |
1608 |
< |
\end{equation} |
1609 |
< |
|
1610 |
< |
To calculate the resistance tensor at an arbitrary origin $O$, we |
1611 |
< |
construct a $3N \times 3N$ matrix consisting of $N \times N$ |
1612 |
< |
$B_{ij}$ blocks |
1613 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
1614 |
< |
B = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
1615 |
< |
{B_{11} } & \ldots & {B_{1N} } \\ |
1616 |
< |
\vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ |
1617 |
< |
{B_{N1} } & \cdots & {B_{NN} } \\ |
1618 |
< |
\end{array}} \right), |
1619 |
< |
\end{equation} |
1620 |
< |
where $B_{ij}$ is given by |
1621 |
< |
\[ |
1622 |
< |
B_{ij} = \delta _{ij} \frac{I}{{6\pi \eta R}} + (1 - \delta _{ij} |
1623 |
< |
)T_{ij} |
1624 |
< |
\] |
1625 |
< |
where \delta _{ij} is Kronecker delta function. Inverting matrix |
1626 |
< |
$B$, we obtain |
1627 |
< |
|
1628 |
< |
\[ |
1629 |
< |
C = B^{ - 1} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
1630 |
< |
{C_{11} } & \ldots & {C_{1N} } \\ |
1631 |
< |
\vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ |
1632 |
< |
{C_{N1} } & \cdots & {C_{NN} } \\ |
1633 |
< |
\end{array}} \right) |
1634 |
< |
\] |
1635 |
< |
, which can be partitioned into $N \times N$ $3 \times 3$ block |
1636 |
< |
$C_{ij}$. With the help of $C_{ij}$ and skew matrix $U_i$ |
1637 |
< |
\[ |
1638 |
< |
U_i = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
1639 |
< |
0 & { - z_i } & {y_i } \\ |
1640 |
< |
{z_i } & 0 & { - x_i } \\ |
1641 |
< |
{ - y_i } & {x_i } & 0 \\ |
1642 |
< |
\end{array}} \right) |
1643 |
< |
\] |
1644 |
< |
where $x_i$, $y_i$, $z_i$ are the components of the vector joining |
1645 |
< |
bead $i$ and origin $O$. Hence, the elements of resistance tensor at |
1646 |
< |
arbitrary origin $O$ can be written as |
1647 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
1648 |
< |
\begin{array}{l} |
1649 |
< |
\Xi _{}^{tt} = \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {C_{ij} } } , \\ |
1650 |
< |
\Xi _{}^{tr} = \Xi _{}^{rt} = \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {U_i C_{ij} } } , \\ |
1651 |
< |
\Xi _{}^{rr} = - \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {U_i C_{ij} } } U_j \\ |
1652 |
< |
\end{array} |
1653 |
< |
\label{introEquation:ResistanceTensorArbitraryOrigin} |
1654 |
< |
\end{equation} |
1655 |
< |
|
1656 |
< |
The resistance tensor depends on the origin to which they refer. The |
1657 |
< |
proper location for applying friction force is the center of |
1658 |
< |
resistance (reaction), at which the trace of rotational resistance |
1659 |
< |
tensor, $ \Xi ^{rr}$ reaches minimum. Mathematically, the center of |
1660 |
< |
resistance is defined as an unique point of the rigid body at which |
1661 |
< |
the translation-rotation coupling tensor are symmetric, |
1662 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
1663 |
< |
\Xi^{tr} = \left( {\Xi^{tr} } \right)^T |
1664 |
< |
\label{introEquation:definitionCR} |
1665 |
< |
\end{equation} |
1666 |
< |
Form Equation \ref{introEquation:ResistanceTensorArbitraryOrigin}, |
1667 |
< |
we can easily find out that the translational resistance tensor is |
1668 |
< |
origin independent, while the rotational resistance tensor and |
1669 |
< |
translation-rotation coupling resistance tensor do depend on the |
1670 |
< |
origin. Given resistance tensor at an arbitrary origin $O$, and a |
1671 |
< |
vector ,$r_{OP}(x_{OP}, y_{OP}, z_{OP})$, from $O$ to $P$, we can |
1672 |
< |
obtain the resistance tensor at $P$ by |
1673 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
1674 |
< |
\begin{array}{l} |
1675 |
< |
\Xi _P^{tt} = \Xi _O^{tt} \\ |
1676 |
< |
\Xi _P^{tr} = \Xi _P^{rt} = \Xi _O^{tr} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tt} \\ |
1677 |
< |
\Xi _P^{rr} = \Xi _O^{rr} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tt} U_{OP} + \Xi _O^{tr} U_{OP} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tr} ^{^T } \\ |
1678 |
< |
\end{array} |
1679 |
< |
\label{introEquation:resistanceTensorTransformation} |
1680 |
< |
\end{equation} |
1681 |
< |
where |
1682 |
< |
\[ |
1683 |
< |
U_{OP} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
1684 |
< |
0 & { - z_{OP} } & {y_{OP} } \\ |
1685 |
< |
{z_i } & 0 & { - x_{OP} } \\ |
1686 |
< |
{ - y_{OP} } & {x_{OP} } & 0 \\ |
1687 |
< |
\end{array}} \right) |
1688 |
< |
\] |
1689 |
< |
Using Equations \ref{introEquation:definitionCR} and |
1690 |
< |
\ref{introEquation:resistanceTensorTransformation}, one can locate |
1691 |
< |
the position of center of resistance, |
1692 |
< |
\[ |
1693 |
< |
\left( \begin{array}{l} |
1694 |
< |
x_{OR} \\ |
1695 |
< |
y_{OR} \\ |
1696 |
< |
z_{OR} \\ |
1697 |

\end{array} \right) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
1698 |

{(\Xi _O^{rr} )_{yy} + (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{zz} } & { - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xy} } & { - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xz} } \\ |
1699 |
< |
{ - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xy} } & {(\Xi _O^{rr} )_{zz} + (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xx} } & { - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{yz} } \\ |
1700 |
< |
{ - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xz} } & { - (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{yz} } & {(\Xi _O^{rr} )_{xx} + (\Xi _O^{rr} )_{yy} } \\ |
1701 |
< |
\end{array}} \right)^{ - 1} \left( \begin{array}{l} |
1702 |
< |
(\Xi _O^{tr} )_{yz} - (\Xi _O^{tr} )_{zy} \\ |
1703 |
< |
(\Xi _O^{tr} )_{zx} - (\Xi _O^{tr} )_{xz} \\ |
1704 |
< |
(\Xi _O^{tr} )_{xy} - (\Xi _O^{tr} )_{yx} \\ |
1705 |
< |
\end{array} \right). |
1706 |
< |
\] |
1707 |
< |
where $x_OR$, $y_OR$, $z_OR$ are the components of the vector |
1708 |

joining center of resistance $R$ and origin $O$. |
