|
The discovery of Newton's three laws of mechanics which govern the |
| 20 |
|
motion of particles is the foundation of the classical mechanics. |

Newton's first law defines a class of inertial frames. Inertial |
| 22 |
|
frames are reference frames where a particle not interacting with |

other bodies will move with constant speed in the same direction. |

With respect to inertial frames, Newton's second law has the form |

\begin{equation} |

F = \frac {dp}{dt} = \frac {mv}{dt} |
| 26 |

F = \frac {dp}{dt} = \frac {mdv}{dt} |

A point mass interacting with other bodies moves with the |
| 30 |
|
acceleration along the direction of the force acting on it. Let |
| 31 |
|
$F_{ij}$ be the force that particle $i$ exerts on particle $j$, and |
| 32 |
|
$F_{ji}$ be the force that particle $j$ exerts on particle $i$. |

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 |
| 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} |
| 49 |
> |
\tau \equiv r \times F \label{introEquation:torqueDefinition} |
| 50 |
|
\end{equation} |
| 51 |
|
Differentiating Eq.~\ref{introEquation:angularMomentumDefinition}, |
| 52 |
|
\[ |
| 59 |
|
\] |
| 60 |
|
thus, |
| 61 |
|
\begin{equation} |
| 62 |
< |
\dot L = r \times \dot p = N |
| 62 |
> |
\dot L = r \times \dot p = \tau |
| 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 |

that if all forces are conservative, Energy |
| 67 |

| 70 |

important factors to determine the quality of numerical integration |

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. |

Hamilton introduced the dynamical principle upon which it is |

possible to base all of mechanics and, indeed, most of classical |

physics. Hamilton's Principle may be stated as follow, |

The actual trajectory, along which a dynamical system may move from |
| 91 |

one point to another within a specified time, is derived by finding |
| 92 |

the path which minimizes the time integral of the difference between |
| 96 |

the kinetic, $K$, and potential energies, $U$ \cite{Tolman1979}. |

For simple mechanical systems, where the forces acting on the |
| 98 |

different part are derivable from a potential and the velocities are |
| 99 |
< |
small compared with that of light, the Lagrangian function $L$ can |

Arising from Lagrangian Mechanics, Hamiltonian Mechanics was |
| 127 |
|
introduced by William Rowan Hamilton in 1833 as a re-formulation of |
| 128 |
|
classical mechanics. If the potential energy of a system is |
| 129 |

independent of generalized velocities, the generalized momenta can |

be defined as |

independent of velocities, the momenta can be defined as |

p_i = \frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial q_i }} |

With the help of the generalized momenta, we may now define a new |

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 |

generalized coordinate $q_i$. Hamiltonian Mechanics is more |
| 189 |
< |
appropriate for application to statistical mechanics and quantum |
| 190 |

mechanics, since it treats the coordinate and its time derivative as |
| 191 |

independent variables and it only works with 1st-order differential |

equations\cite{Marion1990}. |

In Newtonian Mechanics, a system described by conservative forces |

Mathematically, phase space is the space which represents all |

possible states. Each possible state of the system corresponds to |
| 218 |
< |
one unique point in the phase space. For mechanical systems, the |

phase space usually consists of all possible values of position and |

momentum variables. Consider a dynamic system in a cartesian space, |

$6f$ mutually orthogonal axes, the phase space of this system is a |

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 |

In statistical mechanics, the condition of an ensemble at any time |

TS$. Since most experiment are carried out under constant pressure |

condition, isothermal-isobaric ensemble(NPT) play a very important |

role in molecular simulation. The isothermal-isobaric ensemble allow |

the system to exchange energy with a heat bath of temperature $T$ |

and to change the volume as well. Its partition function is given as |

the \emph{pullback} of $\eta$ under f is equal to $\omega$. |

When selecting the starting structure of a molecule for molecular |

|
simulation, one may retrieve its Cartesian coordinates from public |
| 855 |
|
databases, such as RCSB Protein Data Bank \textit{etc}. Although |
| 856 |

thousands of crystal structures of molecules are discovered every |

purification and crystallization. Even for the molecule with known |

\subsubsection{\textbf{Minimization}} |
| 870 |
|
|
| 871 |
|
It is quite possible that some of molecules in the system from |
| 872 |
< |
preliminary preparation may be overlapped with each other. This |
| 873 |
< |
close proximity leads to high potential energy which consequently |
| 874 |
< |
jeopardizes any molecular dynamics simulations. To remove these |
| 875 |
< |
steric overlaps, one typically performs energy minimization to find |
| 876 |
< |
a more reasonable conformation. Several energy minimization methods |
| 877 |
< |
have been developed to exploit the energy surface and to locate the |
| 878 |
< |
local minimum. While converging slowly near the minimum, steepest |
| 879 |
< |
descent method is extremely robust when systems are far from |
| 880 |
< |
harmonic. Thus, it is often used to refine structure from |
| 881 |
< |
crystallographic data. Relied on the gradient or hessian, advanced |
| 882 |
< |
methods like conjugate gradient and Newton-Raphson converge rapidly |
| 883 |
< |
to a local minimum, while become unstable if the energy surface is |
| 884 |
< |
far from quadratic. Another factor must be taken into account, when |
| 872 |

preliminary preparation may be overlapping with each other. This |
| 873 |

advanced methods like Newton-Raphson converge rapidly to a local |

minimum, but become unstable if the energy surface is far from |

quadratic. Another factor that must be taken into account, when |
| 885 |
|
choosing energy minimization method, is the size of the system. |
| 886 |
|
Steepest descent and conjugate gradient can deal with models of any |
| 887 |
< |
size. Because of the limit of computation power to calculate hessian |
| 888 |

matrix and insufficient storage capacity to store them, most |

temperature of the system to a final temperature at which the |

simulation will be conducted. In heating phase, we should also keep |
| 899 |

the system from drifting or rotating as a whole. Equivalently, the |

net linear momentum and angular momentum of the system should be |
| 901 |

properties \textit{etc}, become independent of time. Strictly |

Another important technique to improve the efficiency of force |

evaluation is to apply cutoff where particles farther than a |

predetermined distance, are not included in the calculation |
| 955 |
< |
\cite{Frenkel1996}. The use of a cutoff radius will cause a |

discontinuity in the potential energy curve. Fortunately, one can |
| 957 |

shift the potential to ensure the potential curve go smoothly to |
| 958 |

zero at the cutoff radius. Cutoff strategy works pretty well for |

Lennard-Jones interaction because of its short range nature. |

One may notice that $R(t)$ depends only on initial conditions, which |

\begin{eqnarray*} |

\subsection{\label{introSection:frictionTensor} Friction Tensor} |
| 1791 |
< |
Theoretically, the friction kernel can be determined using velocity |
| 1792 |
< |
autocorrelation function. However, this approach become impractical |
| 1793 |
< |
when the system become more and more complicate. Instead, various |
| 1794 |
< |
approaches based on hydrodynamics have been developed to calculate |
| 1795 |
< |
the friction coefficients. The friction effect is isotropic in |
| 1796 |
< |
Equation, $\zeta$ can be taken as a scalar. In general, friction |
| 1797 |
< |
tensor $\Xi$ is a $6\times 6$ matrix given by |
| 1798 |
< |
\[ |
| 1799 |
< |
\Xi = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 1800 |
< |
{\Xi _{}^{tt} } & {\Xi _{}^{rt} } \\ |
| 1801 |
< |
{\Xi _{}^{tr} } & {\Xi _{}^{rr} } \\ |
| 1802 |
< |
\end{array}} \right). |
| 1803 |
< |
\] |
| 1804 |
< |
Here, $ {\Xi^{tt} }$ and $ {\Xi^{rr} }$ are translational friction |
| 1805 |
< |
tensor and rotational resistance (friction) tensor respectively, |
| 1806 |
< |
while ${\Xi^{tr} }$ is translation-rotation coupling tensor and $ |
| 1807 |
< |
{\Xi^{rt} }$ is rotation-translation coupling tensor. When a |
| 1808 |
< |
particle moves in a fluid, it may experience friction force or |
| 1809 |
< |
torque along the opposite direction of the velocity or angular |
| 1810 |
< |
velocity, |
| 1811 |
< |
\[ |
| 1812 |

\left( \begin{array}{l} |

\] |
| 1823 |

where $F_r$ is the friction force and $\tau _R$ is the friction |

toque. |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:resistanceTensorRegular}The Resistance Tensor for Regular Shape} |
| 1827 |
< |
|
| 1828 |
< |
For a spherical particle, the translational and rotational friction |
| 1829 |
< |
constant can be calculated from Stoke's law, |
| 1830 |
< |
\[ |
| 1831 |

0 & 0 & {6\pi \eta R} \\ |
| 1835 |
< |
\end{array}} \right) |
| 1836 |
< |
\] |
| 1837 |
< |
and |
| 1838 |

\[ |

\Xi ^{rr} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |

< |
0 & {8\pi \eta R^3 } & 0 \\ |
| 1842 |
< |
0 & 0 & {8\pi \eta R^3 } \\ |
| 1843 |
< |
\end{array}} \right) |
| 1844 |
< |
\] |
| 1845 |
< |
where $\eta$ is the viscosity of the solvent and $R$ is the |
| 1846 |
< |
hydrodynamics radius. |
| 1847 |
< |
|
| 1848 |
< |
Other non-spherical shape, such as cylinder and ellipsoid |
| 1849 |
< |
\textit{etc}, are widely used as reference for developing new |
| 1850 |
< |
hydrodynamics theory, because their properties can be calculated |
| 1851 |
< |
exactly. In 1936, Perrin extended Stokes's law to general ellipsoid, |
| 1852 |
< |
also called a triaxial ellipsoid, which is given in Cartesian |
| 1853 |
< |
coordinates by\cite{Perrin1934, Perrin1936} |
| 1854 |
< |
\[ |
| 1855 |
< |
\frac{{x^2 }}{{a^2 }} + \frac{{y^2 }}{{b^2 }} + \frac{{z^2 }}{{c^2 |
| 1856 |
< |
}} = 1 |
| 1857 |
< |
\] |
| 1858 |
< |
where the semi-axes are of lengths $a$, $b$, and $c$. Unfortunately, |
| 1859 |
< |
due to the complexity of the elliptic integral, only the ellipsoid |
| 1860 |
< |
with the restriction of two axes having to be equal, \textit{i.e.} |
| 1861 |
< |
prolate($ a \ge b = c$) and oblate ($ a < b = c $), can be solved |
| 1862 |
< |
exactly. Introducing an elliptic integral parameter $S$ for prolate, |
| 1863 |
< |
\[ |
| 1864 |
< |
S = \frac{2}{{\sqrt {a^2 - b^2 } }}\ln \frac{{a + \sqrt {a^2 - b^2 |
| 1865 |
< |
} }}{b}, |
| 1866 |
< |
\] |
| 1867 |
< |
and oblate, |
| 1868 |
< |
\[ |
| 1869 |
< |
S = \frac{2}{{\sqrt {b^2 - a^2 } }}arctg\frac{{\sqrt {b^2 - a^2 } |
| 1870 |
< |
}}{a} |
| 1871 |

\], |
| 1872 |

one can write down the translational and rotational resistance |

tensors |
| 1874 |

\[ |

and |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:resistanceTensorRegularArbitrary}The Resistance Tensor for Arbitrary Shape} |
| 1889 |
< |
|
| 1890 |
< |
Unlike spherical and other regular shaped molecules, there is not |
| 1891 |
< |
analytical solution for friction tensor of any arbitrary shaped |
| 1892 |
< |
rigid molecules. The ellipsoid of revolution model and general |
| 1893 |
< |
triaxial ellipsoid model have been used to approximate the |
| 1894 |
< |
hydrodynamic properties of rigid bodies. However, since the mapping |
| 1895 |
< |
from all possible ellipsoidal space, $r$-space, to all possible |
| 1896 |
< |
combination of rotational diffusion coefficients, $D$-space is not |
| 1897 |
< |
unique\cite{Wegener1979} as well as the intrinsic coupling between |
| 1898 |
< |
translational and rotational motion of rigid body, general ellipsoid |
| 1899 |
< |
is not always suitable for modeling arbitrarily shaped rigid |
| 1900 |
< |
molecule. A number of studies have been devoted to determine the |
| 1901 |
< |
friction tensor for irregularly shaped rigid bodies using more |
| 1902 |
< |
advanced method where the molecule of interest was modeled by |
| 1903 |
< |
combinations of spheres(beads)\cite{Carrasco1999} and the |
| 1904 |
< |
hydrodynamics properties of the molecule can be calculated using the |
| 1905 |
< |
hydrodynamic interaction tensor. Let us consider a rigid assembly of |
| 1906 |
< |
$N$ beads immersed in a continuous medium. Due to hydrodynamics |
| 1907 |
< |
interaction, the ``net'' velocity of $i$th bead, $v'_i$ is different |
| 1908 |
< |
than its unperturbed velocity $v_i$, |
| 1909 |
< |
\[ |
| 1910 |
< |
v'_i = v_i - \sum\limits_{j \ne i} {T_{ij} F_j } |
| 1911 |
< |
\] |
| 1912 |
< |
where $F_i$ is the frictional force, and $T_{ij}$ is the |
| 1913 |
< |
hydrodynamic interaction tensor. The friction force of $i$th bead is |
| 1914 |
< |
proportional to its ``net'' velocity |
| 1915 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
| 1916 |
< |
F_i = \zeta _i v_i - \zeta _i \sum\limits_{j \ne i} {T_{ij} F_j }. |
| 1917 |
< |
\label{introEquation:tensorExpression} |
| 1918 |
< |
\end{equation} |
| 1919 |
< |
This equation is the basis for deriving the hydrodynamic tensor. In |
| 1920 |
< |
1930, Oseen and Burgers gave a simple solution to Equation |
| 1921 |
< |
\ref{introEquation:tensorExpression} |
| 1922 |

\begin{equation} |
| 1923 |

T_{ij} = \frac{1}{{8\pi \eta r_{ij} }}\left( {I + \frac{{R_{ij} |

| 1925 |
< |
\label{introEquation:oseenTensor} |
| 1926 |
< |
\end{equation} |
| 1927 |
< |
Here $R_{ij}$ is the distance vector between bead $i$ and bead $j$. |
| 1928 |
< |
A second order expression for element of different size was |
| 1929 |
< |
introduced by Rotne and Prager\cite{Rotne1969} and improved by |
| 1930 |
< |
Garc\'{i}a de la Torre and Bloomfield\cite{Torre1977}, |
| 1931 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
| 1932 |
< |
T_{ij} = \frac{1}{{8\pi \eta R_{ij} }}\left[ {\left( {I + |

| 1938 |

Both of the Equation \ref{introEquation:oseenTensor} and Equation |
| 1939 |
< |
\ref{introEquation:RPTensorNonOverlapped} have an assumption $R_{ij} |
| 1940 |
< |
\ge \sigma _i + \sigma _j$. An alternative expression for |
| 1941 |
< |
overlapping beads with the same radius, $\sigma$, is given by |
| 1942 |
< |
\begin{equation} |

To calculate the resistance tensor at an arbitrary origin $O$, we |

, which can be partitioned into $N \times N$ $3 \times 3$ block |

$C_{ij}$. With the help of $C_{ij}$ and skew matrix $U_i$ |

| 1983 |
< |
where $x_i$, $y_i$, $z_i$ are the components of the vector joining |
| 1984 |
< |
bead $i$ and origin $O$. Hence, the elements of resistance tensor at |
| 1985 |
< |
arbitrary origin $O$ can be written as |
| 1986 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
| 1987 |
< |
\begin{array}{l} |
| 1988 |
< |
\Xi _{}^{tt} = \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {C_{ij} } } , \\ |
| 1989 |
< |
\Xi _{}^{tr} = \Xi _{}^{rt} = \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {U_i C_{ij} } } , \\ |
| 1990 |
< |
\Xi _{}^{rr} = - \sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_j {U_i C_{ij} } } U_j \\ |

\label{introEquation:ResistanceTensorArbitraryOrigin} |
| 1993 |
< |
\end{equation} |
| 1994 |
< |
|
| 1995 |
< |
The resistance tensor depends on the origin to which they refer. The |
| 1996 |
< |
proper location for applying friction force is the center of |
| 1997 |
< |
resistance (reaction), at which the trace of rotational resistance |
| 1998 |
< |
tensor, $ \Xi ^{rr}$ reaches minimum. Mathematically, the center of |
| 1999 |
< |
resistance is defined as an unique point of the rigid body at which |
| 2000 |
< |
the translation-rotation coupling tensor are symmetric, |
| 2001 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
| 2002 |
< |
\Xi^{tr} = \left( {\Xi^{tr} } \right)^T |
| 2003 |
< |
\label{introEquation:definitionCR} |
| 2004 |
< |
\end{equation} |
| 2005 |
< |
Form Equation \ref{introEquation:ResistanceTensorArbitraryOrigin}, |
| 2006 |
< |
we can easily find out that the translational resistance tensor is |
| 2007 |
< |
origin independent, while the rotational resistance tensor and |
| 2008 |
< |
translation-rotation coupling resistance tensor depend on the |
| 2009 |
< |
origin. Given resistance tensor at an arbitrary origin $O$, and a |
| 2010 |
< |
vector ,$r_{OP}(x_{OP}, y_{OP}, z_{OP})$, from $O$ to $P$, we can |
| 2011 |
< |
obtain the resistance tensor at $P$ by |
| 2012 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
| 2013 |
< |
\begin{array}{l} |
| 2014 |
< |
\Xi _P^{tt} = \Xi _O^{tt} \\ |
| 2015 |
< |
\Xi _P^{tr} = \Xi _P^{rt} = \Xi _O^{tr} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tt} \\ |
| 2016 |
< |
\Xi _P^{rr} = \Xi _O^{rr} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tt} U_{OP} + \Xi _O^{tr} U_{OP} - U_{OP} \Xi _O^{tr} ^{^T } \\ |
| 2017 |
< |
\end{array} |
| 2018 |
< |
\label{introEquation:resistanceTensorTransformation} |
| 2019 |
< |
\end{equation} |
| 2020 |
< |
where |
| 2021 |
< |
\[ |
| 2022 |
< |
U_{OP} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 2023 |
< |
0 & { - z_{OP} } & {y_{OP} } \\ |
| 2024 |
< |
{z_i } & 0 & { - x_{OP} } \\ |
| 2025 |
< |
{ - y_{OP} } & {x_{OP} } & 0 \\ |

\] |

Using Equations \ref{introEquation:definitionCR} and |
| 2029 |

\ref{introEquation:resistanceTensorTransformation}, one can locate |
