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} |

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 |
|
|
$F_ij$ 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 |
|
|
Newton¡¯s third law states that |
| 33 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
| 34 |
|
|
F_ij = -F_ji |
| 35 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:newtonThirdLaw} |
| 36 |
|
|
\end{equation} |

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}. |

|
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} , |
| 114 |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:equationOfMotionLagrangian}The |

tim |
2692 |
Equations of Motion in Lagrangian Mechanics} |
| 119 |
|
|
|
| 120 |
|
|
for a holonomic system of $f$ degrees of freedom, the equations of |
| 121 |
|
|
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}. |

2692 |

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 |
|
|
}}\dot p_i } \right)} = \sum\limits_i {\left( {\frac{{\partial |
| 213 |
|
|
H}}{{\partial q_i }}\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial p_i }} - |
| 214 |
|
|
\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial p_i }}\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial |
| 215 |
|
|
q_i }}} \right) = 0} |
| 216 |
|
|
\label{introEquation:conserveHalmitonian} |
| 217 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
| 218 |
|
|
|

When studying Hamiltonian system, it is more convenient to use |
| 220 |
|
|
notation |
| 221 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
| 222 |
|
|
r = r(q,p)^T |
| 223 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
| 224 |
|
|
and to introduce a $2n \times 2n$ canonical structure matrix $J$, |
| 225 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
| 226 |
|
|
J = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 227 |
|
|
0 & I \\ |
| 228 |
|
|
{ - I} & 0 \\ |
| 229 |

|
\end{array}} \right) |

|
|
\label{introEquation:canonicalMatrix} |
| 231 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
| 232 |
tim |
2695 |
where $I$ is a $n \times n$ identity matrix and $J$ is a |
| 233 |
|
|
skew-symmetric matrix ($ J^T = - J $). Thus, Hamiltonian system |
| 234 |
|
|
can be rewritten as, |
| 235 |
tim |
2694 |
\begin{equation} |

\frac{d}{{dt}}r = J\nabla _r H(r) |

2695 |
Various thermodynamic properties can be calculated from Molecular |
| 253 |
|
|
Dynamics simulation. By comparing experimental values with the |
| 254 |
|
|
calculated properties, one can determine the accuracy of the |
| 255 |
|
|
simulation and the quality of the underlying model. However, both of |
| 256 |
|
|
experiment and computer simulation are usually performed during a |
| 257 |
|
|
certain time interval and the measurements are averaged over a |
| 258 |
|
|
period of them which is different from the average behavior of |
| 259 |
|
|
many-body system in Statistical Mechanics. Fortunately, Ergodic |
| 260 |
|
|
Hypothesis is proposed to make a connection between time average and |
| 261 |
|
|
ensemble average. It states that time average and average over the |
| 262 |
|
|
statistical ensemble are identical \cite{Frenkel1996, leach01:mm}. |
| 263 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
| 264 |
|
|
\langle A \rangle_t = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to \infty } |
| 265 |
|
|
\frac{1}{t}\int\limits_0^t {A(p(t),q(t))dt = \int\limits_\Gamma |
| 266 |
|
|
{A(p(t),q(t))} } \rho (p(t), q(t)) dpdq |
| 267 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
| 268 |
|
|
where $\langle A \rangle_t$ is an equilibrium value of a physical |
| 269 |
|
|
quantity and $\rho (p(t), q(t))$ is the equilibrium distribution |
| 270 |
|
|
function. If an observation is averaged over a sufficiently long |
| 271 |
|
|
time (longer than relaxation time), all accessible microstates in |
| 272 |
|
|
phase space are assumed to be equally probed, giving a properly |
| 273 |
|
|
weighted statistical average. This allows the researcher freedom of |
| 274 |
|
|
choice when deciding how best to measure a given observable. In case |
| 275 |
|
|
an ensemble averaged approach sounds most reasonable, the Monte |
| 276 |
|
|
Carlo techniques\cite{metropolis:1949} can be utilized. Or if the |
| 277 |
|
|
system lends itself to a time averaging approach, the Molecular |
| 278 |
|
|
Dynamics techniques in Sec.~\ref{introSection:molecularDynamics} |
| 279 |
tim |
2696 |
will be the best choice\cite{Frenkel1996}. |

\section{\label{introSection:geometricIntegratos}Geometric Integrators} |
| 282 |
|
|
A variety of numerical integrators were proposed to simulate the |
| 283 |
|
|
motions. They usually begin with an initial conditionals and move |
| 284 |
|
|
the objects in the direction governed by the differential equations. |
| 285 |
|
|
However, most of them ignore the hidden physical law contained |
| 286 |
|
|
within the equations. Since 1990, geometric integrators, which |
| 287 |
|
|
preserve various phase-flow invariants such as symplectic structure, |
| 288 |
|
|
volume and time reversal symmetry, are developed to address this |
| 289 |
|
|
issue. The velocity verlet method, which happens to be a simple |
| 290 |
|
|
example of symplectic integrator, continues to gain its popularity |
| 291 |
|
|
in molecular dynamics community. This fact can be partly explained |
| 292 |
|

|
|
A \emph{manifold} is an abstract mathematical space. It locally |
| 296 |
|
|
looks like Euclidean space, but when viewed globally, it may have |
| 297 |
|
|
more complicate structure. A good example of manifold is the surface |
| 298 |
|
|
of Earth. It seems to be flat locally, but it is round if viewed as |
| 299 |
|
|
a whole. A \emph{differentiable manifold} (also known as |
| 300 |
|
|
\emph{smooth manifold}) is a manifold with an open cover in which |
| 301 |
|
|
the covering neighborhoods are all smoothly isomorphic to one |
| 302 |
|
|
another. In other words,it is possible to apply calculus on |
| 303 |
|
|
\emph{differentiable manifold}. A \emph{symplectic manifold} is |
| 304 |
|
|
defined as a pair $(M, \omega)$ which consisting of a |
| 305 |
|
|
\emph{differentiable manifold} $M$ and a close, non-degenerated, |
| 306 |
|
|
bilinear symplectic form, $\omega$. A symplectic form on a vector |
| 307 |
|
|
space $V$ is a function $\omega(x, y)$ which satisfies |
| 308 |
|
|
$\omega(\lambda_1x_1+\lambda_2x_2, y) = \lambda_1\omega(x_1, y)+ |
| 309 |
|
|
\lambda_2\omega(x_2, y)$, $\omega(x, y) = - \omega(y, x)$ and |
| 310 |
|
|
$\omega(x, x) = 0$. Cross product operation in vector field is an |
| 311 |
|
|
example of symplectic form. |
| 312 |
|
|
|
| 313 |
|
|
One of the motivations to study \emph{symplectic manifold} in |
| 314 |
|
|
Hamiltonian Mechanics is that a symplectic manifold can represent |
| 315 |
|
|
all possible configurations of the system and the phase space of the |
| 316 |
|
|
system can be described by it's cotangent bundle. Every symplectic |
| 317 |
|
|
manifold is even dimensional. For instance, in Hamilton equations, |
| 318 |
|
|
coordinate and momentum always appear in pairs. |
| 319 |
|
|
|
| 320 |
|
|
Let $(M,\omega)$ and $(N, \eta)$ be symplectic manifolds. A map |
| 321 |
|
|
\[ |
| 322 |
|
|
f : M \rightarrow N |
| 323 |
|
|
\] |
| 324 |
|
|
is a \emph{symplectomorphism} if it is a \emph{diffeomorphims} and |
| 325 |
|
|
the \emph{pullback} of $\eta$ under f is equal to $\omega$. |
| 326 |
|
|
Canonical transformation is an example of symplectomorphism in |
| 327 |
|
|
classical mechanics. According to Liouville's theorem, the |
| 328 |
|
|
Hamiltonian \emph{flow} or \emph{symplectomorphism} generated by the |
| 329 |
|
|
Hamiltonian vector filed preserves the volume form on the phase |
| 330 |
|
|
space, which is the basis of classical statistical mechanics. |

A rigid body is a body in which the distance between any two given |
| 350 |
|
|
points of a rigid body remains constant regardless of external |
| 351 |

forces exerted on it. A rigid body therefore conserves its shape |

R(t) = \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {g_\alpha q_\alpha (t)} |
