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 |

independent of generalized velocities, the generalized momenta can |

be defined as |

An important difference between Lagrangian approach and the |

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

A microscopic state or microstate of a classical system is |

specification of the complete phase space vector of a system at any |

regions of the phase space. The condition of an ensemble at any time |

A typical molecular dynamics run consists of three essential steps: |
| 888 |

\begin{enumerate} |
| 889 |

\item Initialization |
| 890 |

\begin{enumerate} |
| 891 |

\subsubsection{\textbf{Preliminary preparation}} |
| 909 |
> |
|
| 910 |
> |
When selecting the starting structure of a molecule for molecular |
| 911 |
> |
simulation, one may retrieve its Cartesian coordinates from public |
| 912 |
> |
databases, such as RCSB Protein Data Bank \textit{etc}. Although |
| 913 |
> |
thousands of crystal structures of molecules are discovered every |
| 914 |
> |
year, many more remain unknown due to the difficulties of |
| 915 |
> |
purification and crystallization. Even for the molecule with known |
| 916 |
> |
structure, some important information is missing. For example, the |
| 917 |
> |
missing hydrogen atom which acts as donor in hydrogen bonding must |
| 918 |
> |
be added. Moreover, in order to include electrostatic interaction, |
| 919 |
> |
one may need to specify the partial charges for individual atoms. |
| 920 |
> |
Under some circumstances, we may even need to prepare the system in |
| 921 |
> |
a special setup. For instance, when studying transport phenomenon in |
| 922 |
> |
membrane system, we may prepare the lipids in bilayer structure |
| 923 |
> |
instead of placing lipids randomly in solvent, since we are not |
| 924 |
> |
interested in self-aggregation and it takes a long time to happen. |
| 925 |
> |
|
| 926 |
> |
\subsubsection{\textbf{Minimization}} |
| 927 |
> |
|
| 928 |
> |
It is quite possible that some of molecules in the system from |
| 929 |
> |
preliminary preparation may be overlapped with each other. This |
| 930 |
> |
close proximity leads to high potential energy which consequently |
| 931 |
> |
jeopardizes any molecular dynamics simulations. To remove these |
| 932 |
> |
steric overlaps, one typically performs energy minimization to find |
| 933 |
> |
a more reasonable conformation. Several energy minimization methods |
| 934 |
> |
have been developed to exploit the energy surface and to locate the |
| 935 |
> |
local minimum. While converging slowly near the minimum, steepest |
| 936 |
> |
descent method is extremely robust when systems are far from |
| 937 |
> |
harmonic. Thus, it is often used to refine structure from |
| 938 |
> |
crystallographic data. Relied on the gradient or hessian, advanced |
| 939 |
> |
methods like conjugate gradient and Newton-Raphson converge rapidly |
| 940 |
> |
to a local minimum, while become unstable if the energy surface is |
| 941 |
> |
far from quadratic. Another factor must be taken into account, when |
| 942 |
> |
choosing energy minimization method, is the size of the system. |
| 943 |
> |
Steepest descent and conjugate gradient can deal with models of any |
| 944 |
> |
size. Because of the limit of computation power to calculate hessian |
| 945 |
> |
matrix and insufficient storage capacity to store them, most |
| 946 |
> |
Newton-Raphson methods can not be used with very large models. |
| 947 |
> |
|
| 948 |
> |
\subsubsection{\textbf{Heating}} |
| 949 |
> |
|
| 950 |
> |
Typically, Heating is performed by assigning random velocities |
| 951 |
> |
according to a Gaussian distribution for a temperature. Beginning at |
| 952 |
> |
a lower temperature and gradually increasing the temperature by |
| 953 |
> |
assigning greater random velocities, we end up with setting the |
| 954 |
> |
temperature of the system to a final temperature at which the |
| 955 |
> |
simulation will be conducted. In heating phase, we should also keep |
| 956 |
> |
the system from drifting or rotating as a whole. Equivalently, the |
| 957 |
> |
net linear momentum and angular momentum of the system should be |
| 958 |
> |
shifted to zero. |
| 959 |
> |
|
| 960 |
> |
\subsubsection{\textbf{Equilibration}} |
| 961 |
> |
|
| 962 |
> |
The purpose of equilibration is to allow the system to evolve |
| 963 |
> |
spontaneously for a period of time and reach equilibrium. The |
| 964 |
> |
procedure is continued until various statistical properties, such as |
| 965 |
> |
temperature, pressure, energy, volume and other structural |
| 966 |
> |
properties \textit{etc}, become independent of time. Strictly |
| 967 |
> |
speaking, minimization and heating are not necessary, provided the |
| 968 |
> |
equilibration process is long enough. However, these steps can serve |
| 969 |
> |
as a means to arrive at an equilibrated structure in an effective |
| 970 |
> |
way. |
| 971 |
> |
|
| 972 |
> |
\subsection{\label{introSection:production}Production} |
| 973 |
> |
|
| 974 |
> |
Production run is the most important step of the simulation, in |
| 975 |
> |
which the equilibrated structure is used as a starting point and the |
| 976 |
> |
motions of the molecules are collected for later analysis. In order |
| 977 |
> |
to capture the macroscopic properties of the system, the molecular |
| 978 |
> |
dynamics simulation must be performed in correct and efficient way. |
| 979 |
> |
|
| 980 |
> |
The most expensive part of a molecular dynamics simulation is the |
| 981 |
> |
calculation of non-bonded forces, such as van der Waals force and |
| 982 |
> |
Coulombic forces \textit{etc}. For a system of $N$ particles, the |
| 983 |
> |
complexity of the algorithm for pair-wise interactions is $O(N^2 )$, |
| 984 |
> |
which making large simulations prohibitive in the absence of any |
| 985 |
> |
computation saving techniques. |
| 986 |
> |
|
| 987 |
> |
A natural approach to avoid system size issue is to represent the |
| 988 |
> |
bulk behavior by a finite number of the particles. However, this |
| 989 |
> |
approach will suffer from the surface effect. To offset this, |
| 990 |
> |
\textit{Periodic boundary condition} (see Fig.~\ref{introFig:pbc}) |
| 991 |
> |
is developed to simulate bulk properties with a relatively small |
| 992 |
> |
number of particles. In this method, the simulation box is |
| 993 |
> |
replicated throughout space to form an infinite lattice. During the |
| 994 |
> |
simulation, when a particle moves in the primary cell, its image in |
| 995 |
> |
other cells move in exactly the same direction with exactly the same |
| 996 |
> |
orientation. Thus, as a particle leaves the primary cell, one of its |
| 997 |
> |
images will enter through the opposite face. |
| 998 |

%cutoff and minimum image convention |
| 1008 |
> |
Another important technique to improve the efficiency of force |
| 1009 |
> |
evaluation is to apply cutoff where particles farther than a |
| 1010 |
> |
predetermined distance, are not included in the calculation |
| 1011 |
> |
\cite{Frenkel1996}. The use of a cutoff radius will cause a |
| 1012 |
> |
discontinuity in the potential energy curve. Fortunately, one can |
| 1013 |
> |
shift the potential to ensure the potential curve go smoothly to |
| 1014 |
> |
zero at the cutoff radius. Cutoff strategy works pretty well for |
| 1015 |
> |
Lennard-Jones interaction because of its short range nature. |
| 1016 |
> |
However, simply truncating the electrostatic interaction with the |
| 1017 |
> |
use of cutoff has been shown to lead to severe artifacts in |
| 1018 |
> |
simulations. Ewald summation, in which the slowly conditionally |
| 1019 |
> |
convergent Coulomb potential is transformed into direct and |
| 1020 |
> |
reciprocal sums with rapid and absolute convergence, has proved to |
| 1021 |
> |
minimize the periodicity artifacts in liquid simulations. Taking the |
| 1022 |
> |
advantages of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) for calculating |
| 1023 |
> |
discrete Fourier transforms, the particle mesh-based |
| 1024 |
> |
methods\cite{Hockney1981,Shimada1993, Luty1994} are accelerated from |
| 1025 |
> |
$O(N^{3/2})$ to $O(N logN)$. An alternative approach is \emph{fast |
| 1026 |
> |
multipole method}\cite{Greengard1987, Greengard1994}, which treats |
| 1027 |
> |
Coulombic interaction exactly at short range, and approximate the |
| 1028 |
> |
potential at long range through multipolar expansion. In spite of |
| 1029 |
> |
their wide acceptances at the molecular simulation community, these |
| 1030 |
> |
two methods are hard to be implemented correctly and efficiently. |
| 1031 |
> |
Instead, we use a damped and charge-neutralized Coulomb potential |
| 1032 |
> |
method developed by Wolf and his coworkers\cite{Wolf1999}. The |
| 1033 |
> |
shifted Coulomb potential for particle $i$ and particle $j$ at |
| 1034 |
> |
distance $r_{rj}$ is given by: |
| 1035 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1036 |
> |
V(r_{ij})= \frac{q_i q_j \textrm{erfc}(\alpha |
| 1037 |

r_{ij})}{r_{ij}}-\lim_{r_{ij}\rightarrow |
| 1038 |

R_\textrm{c}}\left\{\frac{q_iq_j \textrm{erfc}(\alpha |

> |
r_{ij})}{r_{ij}}\right\}. \label{introEquation:shiftedCoulomb} |
| 1040 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 1041 |
> |
where $\alpha$ is the convergence parameter. Due to the lack of |
| 1042 |

inherent periodicity and rapid convergence,this method is extremely |
| 1043 |
> |
efficient and easy to implement. |

Recently, advanced visualization technique are widely applied to |

monitor the motions of molecules. Although the dynamics of the |

trajectory analysis are more appreciable. According to the |

principles of Statistical Mechanics, |

Sec.~\ref{introSection:statisticalMechanics}, one can compute |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:thermodynamicsProperties}\textbf{Thermodynamics Properties}} |
| 1067 |

|
| 1068 |
> |
Thermodynamics properties, which can be expressed in terms of some |
| 1069 |
> |
function of the coordinates and momenta of all particles in the |
| 1070 |
> |
system, can be directly computed from molecular dynamics. The usual |
| 1071 |

way to measure the pressure is based on virial theorem of Clausius |
| 1072 |
> |
which states that the virial is equal to $-3Nk_BT$. For a system |
| 1073 |
> |
with forces between particles, the total virial, $W$, contains the |
| 1074 |
> |
contribution from external pressure and interaction between the |
| 1075 |
> |
particles: |
| 1076 |
> |
\[ |
| 1077 |

W = - 3PV + \left\langle {\sum\limits_{i < j} {r{}_{ij} \cdot |
| 1078 |
> |
f_{ij} } } \right\rangle |
| 1079 |
> |
\] |
| 1080 |
> |
where $f_{ij}$ is the force between particle $i$ and $j$ at a |
| 1081 |
> |
distance $r_{ij}$. Thus, the expression for the pressure is given |
| 1082 |
> |
by: |
| 1083 |

\begin{equation} |
| 1084 |

P = \frac{{Nk_B T}}{V} - \frac{1}{{3V}}\left\langle {\sum\limits_{i |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:structuralProperties}\textbf{Structural Properties}} |
| 1089 |

|
| 1090 |

Structural Properties of a simple fluid can be described by a set of |
| 1091 |
> |
distribution functions. Among these functions,\emph{pair |
| 1092 |
> |
distribution function}, also known as \emph{radial distribution |
| 1093 |

function}, is of most fundamental importance to liquid-state theory. |
| 1094 |
> |
Pair distribution function can be gathered by Fourier transforming |
| 1095 |

raw data from a series of neutron diffraction experiments and |
| 1096 |
> |
integrating over the surface factor \cite{Powles1973}. The |
| 1097 |
> |
experiment result can serve as a criterion to justify the |
| 1098 |

correctness of the theory. Moreover, various equilibrium |
| 1099 |
> |
thermodynamic and structural properties can also be expressed in |
| 1100 |
> |
terms of radial distribution function \cite{Allen1987}. |
| 1101 |
> |
|
| 1102 |
> |
A pair distribution functions $g(r)$ gives the probability that a |
| 1103 |
> |
particle $i$ will be located at a distance $r$ from a another |
| 1104 |
> |
particle $j$ in the system |
| 1105 |

\[ |
| 1106 |

g(r) = \frac{V}{{N^2 }}\left\langle {\sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_{j |

\ne i} {\delta (r - r_{ij} )} } } \right\rangle. |
| 1108 |

\] |
| 1109 |

Note that the delta function can be replaced by a histogram in |

computer simulation. Figure |
| 1111 |

\ref{introFigure:pairDistributionFunction} shows a typical pair |

distribution function for the liquid argon system. The occurrence of |

several peaks in the plot of $g(r)$ suggests that it is more likely |

to find particles at certain radial values than at others. This is a |

result of the attractive interaction at such distances. Because of |

the strong repulsive forces at short distance, the probability of |

locating particles at distances less than about 2.5{\AA} from each |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:timeDependentProperties}\textbf{Time-dependent |
| 1129 |

Properties}} |
| 1130 |
|
|
| 1131 |
+ |
Time-dependent properties are usually calculated using \emph{time |
| 1132 |
+ |
correlation function}, which correlates random variables $A$ and $B$ |
| 1133 |
+ |
at two different time |
| 1134 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1135 |
+ |
C_{AB} (t) = \left\langle {A(t)B(0)} \right\rangle. |
| 1136 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:timeCorrelationFunction} |
| 1137 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1138 |
+ |
If $A$ and $B$ refer to same variable, this kind of correlation |
| 1139 |
+ |
function is called \emph{auto correlation function}. One example of |
| 1140 |
+ |
auto correlation function is velocity auto-correlation function |
| 1141 |
+ |
which is directly related to transport properties of molecular |
| 1142 |
+ |
liquids: |
| 1143 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1144 |
+ |
D = \frac{1}{3}\int\limits_0^\infty {\left\langle {v(t) \cdot v(0)} |
| 1145 |
+ |
\right\rangle } dt |
| 1146 |
+ |
\] |
| 1147 |
+ |
where $D$ is diffusion constant. Unlike velocity autocorrelation |
| 1148 |
+ |
function which is averaging over time origins and over all the |
| 1149 |
+ |
atoms, dipole autocorrelation are calculated for the entire system. |
| 1150 |
+ |
The dipole autocorrelation function is given by: |
| 1151 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1152 |
+ |
c_{dipole} = \left\langle {u_{tot} (t) \cdot u_{tot} (t)} |
| 1153 |
+ |
\right\rangle |
| 1154 |
+ |
\] |
| 1155 |
+ |
Here $u_{tot}$ is the net dipole of the entire system and is given |
| 1156 |
+ |
by |
| 1157 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1158 |
+ |
u_{tot} (t) = \sum\limits_i {u_i (t)} |
| 1159 |
+ |
\] |
| 1160 |
+ |
In principle, many time correlation functions can be related with |
| 1161 |
+ |
Fourier transforms of the infrared, Raman, and inelastic neutron |
| 1162 |
+ |
scattering spectra of molecular liquids. In practice, one can |
| 1163 |
+ |
extract the IR spectrum from the intensity of dipole fluctuation at |
| 1164 |
+ |
each frequency using the following relationship: |
| 1165 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1166 |
+ |
\hat c_{dipole} (v) = \int_{ - \infty }^\infty {c_{dipole} (t)e^{ - |
| 1167 |
+ |
i2\pi vt} dt} |
| 1168 |

Rigid bodies are frequently involved in the modeling of different |

simulator is governed by the rigid body dynamics. In molecular |

|
It is very important to develop stable and efficient methods to |
| 1181 |
|
integrate the equations of motion of orientational degrees of |
| 1183 |
|
rotational degrees of freedom. However, due to its singularity, the |
| 1184 |
|
numerical integration of corresponding equations of motion is very |
| 1185 |
|
inefficient and inaccurate. Although an alternative integrator using |
| 1186 |
< |
different sets of Euler angles can overcome this difficulty\cite{}, |
| 1187 |
< |
the computational penalty and the lost of angular momentum |
| 1188 |
< |
conservation still remain. A singularity free representation |
| 1189 |
< |
utilizing quaternions was developed by Evans in 1977. Unfortunately, |
| 1190 |
< |
this approach suffer from the nonseparable Hamiltonian resulted from |
| 1191 |
< |
quaternion representation, which prevents the symplectic algorithm |
| 1192 |
< |
to be utilized. Another different approach is to apply holonomic |

The break through in geometric literature suggests that, in order to |
| 1202 |
|
develop a long-term integration scheme, one should preserve the |
| 1203 |
|
symplectic structure of the flow. Introducing conjugate momentum to |
| 1204 |
< |
rotation matrix $A$ and re-formulating Hamiltonian's equation, a |
| 1205 |
< |
symplectic integrator, RSHAKE, was proposed to evolve the |
| 1206 |
< |
Hamiltonian system in a constraint manifold by iteratively |
| 1207 |
< |
satisfying the orthogonality constraint $A_t A = 1$. An alternative |
| 1208 |
< |
method using quaternion representation was developed by Omelyan. |

However, both of these methods are iterative and inefficient. In |

The motion of the rigid body is Hamiltonian with the Hamiltonian |

function |
| 1217 |
|
\begin{equation} |
| 1218 |
|
H = \frac{1}{2}(p^T m^{ - 1} p) + \frac{1}{2}tr(PJ^{ - 1} P) + |
| 1219 |

V(q,Q) + \frac{1}{2}tr[(QQ^T - 1)\Lambda ]. |
| 1228 |
|
where $I_{ii}$ is the diagonal element of the inertia tensor. This |

|
constrained Hamiltonian equation subjects to a holonomic constraint, |

\begin{equation} |

Q^T Q = 1$, \label{introEquation:orthogonalConstraint} |

Q^T Q = 1, \label{introEquation:orthogonalConstraint} |

\end{equation} |
| 1233 |

which is used to ensure rotation matrix's orthogonality. |
| 1234 |
|
Differentiating \ref{introEquation:orthogonalConstraint} and using |
| 1241 |
|
Using Equation (\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate}, |
| 1242 |
|
\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum}), one can write down |
| 1243 |
|
the equations of motion, |

\begin{eqnarray} |

\frac{{dP}}{{dt}} & = & - \nabla _Q V(q,Q) - 2Q\Lambda . \label{introEquation:RBMotionP} |

\end{eqnarray} |
| 1251 |

|
| 1252 |
|
In general, there are two ways to satisfy the holonomic constraints. |
| 1253 |
|
We can use constraint force provided by lagrange multiplier on the |
| 1254 |
|
normal manifold to keep the motion on constraint space. Or we can |
| 1255 |
< |
simply evolve the system in constraint manifold. The two method are |
| 1256 |
< |
proved to be equivalent. The holonomic constraint and equations of |
| 1257 |
< |
motions define a constraint manifold for rigid body |
| 1255 |
> |
simply evolve the system in constraint manifold. These two methods |
| 1256 |
> |
are proved to be equivalent. The holonomic constraint and equations |
| 1257 |

of motions define a constraint manifold for rigid body |
| 1258 |
|
\[ |
| 1259 |
|
M = \left\{ {(Q,P):Q^T Q = 1,Q^T PJ^{ - 1} + J^{ - 1} P^T Q = 0} |
| 1260 |
|
\right\}. |
| 1284 |
|
\[ |
| 1285 |
|
V(q,Q) = V(Q X_0 + q). |
| 1286 |
|
\] |
| 1287 |
< |
Hence, |
| 1287 |
> |
Hence, the force and torque are given by |
| 1288 |
|
\[ |
| 1289 |
< |
\nabla _q V(q,Q) = F(q,Q) = \sum\limits_i {F_i (q,Q)} |
| 1289 |
> |
\nabla _q V(q,Q) = F(q,Q) = \sum\limits_i {F_i (q,Q)}, |
| 1290 |
|
\] |
| 1291 |
< |
|
| 1291 |

and |
| 1292 |
|
\[ |
| 1293 |
|
\nabla _Q V(q,Q) = F(q,Q)X_i^t |
| 1294 |
|
\] |
| 1295 |
+ |
respectively. |
| 1296 |
|
|
| 1297 |
|
As a common choice to describe the rotation dynamics of the rigid |
| 1298 |
|
body, angular momentum on body frame $\Pi = Q^t P$ is introduced to |
| 1328 |
|
\[ |
| 1329 |
|
\hat vu = v \times u |
| 1330 |
|
\] |
| 1073 |
– |
|
| 1331 |
|
Using \ref{introEqaution:RBMotionPI}, one can construct a skew |
| 1332 |
|
matrix, |
| 1333 |
|
\begin{equation} |
| 1334 |
< |
(\mathop \Pi \limits^ \bullet - \mathop \Pi \limits^ \bullet ^T |
| 1334 |
> |
(\mathop \Pi \limits^ \bullet - \mathop \Pi \limits^ {\bullet ^T} |
| 1335 |
|
){\rm{ }} = {\rm{ }}(\Pi - \Pi ^T ){\rm{ }}(J^{ - 1} \Pi + \Pi J^{ |
| 1336 |
|

| 1337 |
|
(\Lambda - \Lambda ^T ) . \label{introEquation:skewMatrixPI} |
| 1338 |
|
\end{equation} |
| 1339 |
|
Since $\Lambda$ is symmetric, the last term of Equation |
| 1340 |
< |
\ref{introEquation:skewMatrixPI}, which implies the Lagrange |
| 1341 |
< |
multiplier $\Lambda$ is ignored in the integration. |
| 1340 |
> |
\ref{introEquation:skewMatrixPI} is zero, which implies the Lagrange |
| 1341 |
> |
multiplier $\Lambda$ is absent from the equations of motion. This |
| 1342 |
> |
unique property eliminate the requirement of iterations which can |
| 1343 |
> |
not be avoided in other methods\cite{Kol1997, Omelyan1998}. |
| 1344 |
|
|
| 1345 |
< |
Hence, applying hat-map isomorphism, we obtain the equation of |
| 1346 |
< |
motion for angular momentum on body frame |
| 1347 |
< |
\[ |
| 1348 |
< |
\dot \pi = \pi \times I^{ - 1} \pi + Q^T \sum\limits_i {F_i (r,Q) |

| 1345 |

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

angular momentum on body frame |

\begin{equation} |

\dot \pi = \pi \times I^{ - 1} \pi + \sum\limits_i {\left( {Q^T |

In the same manner, the equation of motion for rotation matrix is |
| 1353 |
|
given by |
| 1354 |
|
\[ |
| 1355 |

\dot Q = Qskew(M^{ - 1} \pi ) |

\dot Q = Qskew(I^{ - 1} \pi ) |

If there is not external forces exerted on the rigid body, the only |

Lie-Poisson structure matrix, |

\begin{equation} |

Thus, the dynamics of free rigid body is governed by |

\begin{equation} |

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

| 1396 |

\] |
| 1397 |

The solutions of Equation \ref{introEqaution:RBMotionSingleTerm} is |
| 1398 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1399 |
+ |
\pi (\Delta t) = e^{\Delta tR_1 } \pi (0),Q(\Delta t) = |
| 1400 |

Q(0)e^{\Delta tR_1 } |

\] |
| 1402 |

with |
| 1403 |

\[ |
| 1404 |

e^{\Delta tR_1 } = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |

| 1409 |
+ |
\] |
| 1410 |
+ |
To reduce the cost of computing expensive functions in $e^{\Delta |
| 1411 |
+ |
tR_1 }$, we can use Cayley transformation, |
| 1412 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1413 |
+ |
e^{\Delta tR_1 } \approx (1 - \Delta tR_1 )^{ - 1} (1 + \Delta tR_1 |
| 1414 |
+ |
) |
| 1415 |
+ |
\] |
| 1416 |
+ |
The flow maps for $T_2^r$ and $T_3^r$ can be found in the same |
| 1417 |
+ |
manner. |
| 1418 |
|
|
| 1419 |
+ |
In order to construct a second-order symplectic method, we split the |
| 1420 |
+ |
angular kinetic Hamiltonian function can into five terms |
| 1421 |
|
\[ |
| 1422 |
< |
\varphi _{\Delta t,\pi } = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _1 } \circ |
| 1422 |
> |
T^r (\pi ) = \frac{1}{2}T_1 ^r (\pi _1 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_2^r (\pi _2 |
| 1423 |

) + T_3^r (\pi _3 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_2^r (\pi _2 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_1 ^r |
| 1424 |
> |
(\pi _1 ) |
| 1425 |
> |
\]. |
| 1426 |
> |
Concatenating flows corresponding to these five terms, we can obtain |
| 1427 |
> |
an symplectic integrator, |
| 1428 |
> |
\[ |
| 1429 |
> |
\varphi _{\Delta t,T^r } = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _1 } \circ |
| 1430 |
|
\varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 } \circ \varphi _{\Delta t,\pi _3 } |
| 1431 |
|
\circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 } \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi |
| 1432 |
< |

| 1432 |

_1 }. |
| 1433 |
|
\] |
| 1434 |
|
|
| 1435 |
+ |
The non-canonical Lie-Poisson bracket ${F, G}$ of two function |
| 1436 |
+ |
$F(\pi )$ and $G(\pi )$ is defined by |
| 1437 |
|
\[ |
| 1438 |
+ |
\{ F,G\} (\pi ) = [\nabla _\pi F(\pi )]^T J(\pi )\nabla _\pi G(\pi |
| 1439 |
+ |
) |
| 1440 |
+ |
\] |
| 1441 |
+ |
If the Poisson bracket of a function $F$ with an arbitrary smooth |
| 1442 |
+ |
function $G$ is zero, $F$ is a \emph{Casimir}, which is the |
| 1443 |
+ |
conserved quantity in Poisson system. We can easily verify that the |
| 1444 |
+ |
norm of the angular momentum, $\parallel \pi |
| 1445 |
+ |
\parallel$, is a \emph{Casimir}. Let$ F(\pi ) = S(\frac{{\parallel |
| 1446 |
+ |
\pi \parallel ^2 }}{2})$ for an arbitrary function $ S:R \to R$ , |
| 1447 |
+ |
then by the chain rule |
| 1448 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1449 |
+ |
\nabla _\pi F(\pi ) = S'(\frac{{\parallel \pi \parallel ^2 |
| 1450 |
+ |
}}{2})\pi |
| 1451 |
+ |
\] |
| 1452 |
+ |
Thus $ [\nabla _\pi F(\pi )]^T J(\pi ) = - S'(\frac{{\parallel \pi |
| 1453 |
+ |
\parallel ^2 }}{2})\pi \times \pi = 0 $. This explicit |
| 1454 |
+ |
Lie-Poisson integrator is found to be extremely efficient and stable |
| 1455 |
+ |
which can be explained by the fact the small angle approximation is |
| 1456 |
+ |
used and the norm of the angular momentum is conserved. |

sub-flows which corresponding to force and torque respectively, |
| 1491 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1492 |
|
\varphi _{\Delta t/2,V} = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,F} \circ \varphi |
| 1493 |
< |
_{\Delta t/2,\tau } |
| 1493 |
> |
_{\Delta t/2,\tau }. |
| 1494 |
|
\] |
| 1495 |
+ |
Since the associated operators of $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,F} $ and |
| 1496 |
+ |
$\circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\tau }$ are commuted, the composition |
| 1497 |
+ |
order inside $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}$ does not matter. |
| 1498 |
|
|
| 1499 |
+ |
Furthermore, kinetic potential can be separated to translational |
| 1500 |
+ |
kinetic term, $T^t (p)$, and rotational kinetic term, $T^r (\pi )$, |
| 1501 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1502 |
+ |
T(p,\pi ) =T^t (p) + T^r (\pi ). |
| 1503 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1504 |
+ |
where $ T^t (p) = \frac{1}{2}p^T m^{ - 1} p $ and $T^r (\pi )$ is |
| 1505 |
+ |
defined by \ref{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB}. Therefore, the |
| 1506 |
+ |
corresponding flow maps are given by |
| 1507 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1508 |
+ |
\varphi _{\Delta t,T} = \varphi _{\Delta t,T^t } \circ \varphi |
| 1509 |
+ |
_{\Delta t,T^r }. |
| 1510 |
+ |
\] |
| 1511 |
+ |
Finally, we obtain the overall symplectic flow maps for free moving |
| 1512 |
+ |
rigid body |
| 1513 |

\begin{equation} |
| 1514 |

As an alternative to newtonian dynamics, Langevin dynamics, which |
| 1524 |

mimics a simple heat bath with stochastic and dissipative forces, |
| 1525 |
+ |
has been applied in a variety of studies. This section will review |
| 1526 |

the theory of Langevin dynamics simulation. A brief derivation of |
| 1527 |

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

will discuss the physical meaning of the terms appearing in the |

hydrodynamics theory. |

Completing the square, |

\] and combining the last two terms in Equation |

Hamiltonian as |

\[ |

\[ |

W(x) = U(x) - \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {\frac{{g_\alpha ^2 |

Since the first two terms of the new Hamiltonian depend only on the |

In order to derive an equation for $x$, the dynamics of the bath |
| 1593 |

variables $x_\alpha$ must be solved exactly first. As an integral |
| 1594 |

transform which is particularly useful in solving linear ordinary |
| 1595 |

differential equations, Laplace transform is the appropriate tool to |
| 1596 |

solve this problem. The basic idea is to transform the difficult |
| 1597 |

differential equations into simple algebra problems which can be |
| 1598 |

solved easily. Then applying inverse Laplace transform, also known |
| 1599 |

as the Bromwich integral, we can retrieve the solutions of the |
| 1600 |

original problems. |

Let $f(t)$ be a function defined on $ [0,\infty ) $. The Laplace |
| 1603 |
+ |
transform of f(t) is a new function defined as |
| 1604 |
|
\[ |
| 1605 |
< |
L(x) = \int_0^\infty {x(t)e^{ - pt} dt} |
| 1605 |
> |
L(f(t)) \equiv F(p) = \int_0^\infty {f(t)e^{ - pt} dt} |
| 1606 |
|
\] |
| 1607 |
+ |
where $p$ is real and $L$ is called the Laplace Transform |
| 1608 |
+ |
Operator. Below are some important properties of Laplace transform |
| 1609 |
|
|
| 1610 |
< |
\[ |
| 1611 |
< |
L(x + y) = L(x) + L(y) |
| 1612 |
< |
\] |
| 1610 |
> |
\begin{eqnarray*} |
| 1611 |
> |
L(x + y) & = & L(x) + L(y) \\ |
| 1612 |
> |
L(ax) & = & aL(x) \\ |
| 1613 |

L(\dot x) & = & pL(x) - px(0) \\ |
| 1614 |
> |
L(\ddot x)& = & p^2 L(x) - px(0) - \dot x(0) \\ |
| 1615 |
> |
L\left( {\int_0^t {g(t - \tau )h(\tau )d\tau } } \right)& = & G(p)H(p) \\ |
| 1616 |

\end{eqnarray*} |
| 1617 |
|
|
| 1193 |
– |
\[ |
| 1194 |
– |
L(ax) = aL(x) |
| 1195 |
– |
\] |
| 1618 |
|
|
| 1619 |
< |
\[ |
| 1620 |
< |
L(\dot x) = pL(x) - px(0) |
| 1621 |
< |
\] |
| 1619 |

Applying Laplace transform to the bath coordinates, we obtain |
| 1620 |
> |
\begin{eqnarray*} |
| 1621 |
> |
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) \\ |
| 1622 |

L(x_\alpha ) & = & \frac{{\frac{{g_\alpha }}{{\omega _\alpha }}L(x) + px_\alpha (0) + \dot x_\alpha (0)}}{{p^2 + \omega _\alpha ^2 }} \\ |
| 1623 |
> |
\end{eqnarray*} |
| 1624 |
|
|
| 1625 |
+ |
By the same way, the system coordinates become |
| 1626 |
+ |
\begin{eqnarray*} |
| 1627 |
+ |
mL(\ddot x) & = & - \frac{1}{p}\frac{{\partial W(x)}}{{\partial x}} \\ |
| 1628 |
+ |
& & \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\}} \\ |
| 1629 |
+ |
\end{eqnarray*} |
| 1630 |
+ |
|
| 1631 |

With the help of some relatively important inverse Laplace |
| 1632 |
+ |
transformations: |
| 1633 |
|
\[ |
| 1634 |

\begin{array}{c} |

L(\cos at) = \frac{p}{{p^2 + a^2 }} \\ |

| 1641 |

\begin{eqnarray*} |

the equation of motion can be rewritten as |

One may notice that $R(t)$ depends only on initial conditions, which |
| 1686 |
+ |
implies it is completely deterministic within the context of a |
| 1687 |
+ |
harmonic bath. However, it is easy to verify that $R(t)$ is totally |
| 1688 |
+ |
uncorrelated to $x$ and $\dot x$, |
| 1689 |
|
\[ |
| 1690 |
< |
L\left( {\int_0^t {g(t - \tau )h(\tau )d\tau } } \right) = G(p)H(p) |
| 1690 |

\begin{array}{l} |

\left\langle {x(t)R(t)} \right\rangle = 0, \\ |

\left\langle {\dot x(t)R(t)} \right\rangle = 0. \\ |
| 1693 |

\end{array} |
| 1694 |
|
\] |
| 1695 |
+ |
This property is what we expect from a truly random process. As long |
| 1696 |
+ |
as the model, which is gaussian distribution in general, chosen for |
| 1697 |
+ |
$R(t)$ is a truly random process, the stochastic nature of the GLE |
| 1698 |

still remains. |

\] |
| 1705 |
< |
|
| 1705 |

depends on the entire history of the evolution of $x$, which implies |
| 1706 |

that the bath retains memory of previous motions. In other words, |
| 1707 |

the bath requires a finite time to respond to change in the motion |

in the system coordinate, we may regard $\xi(t)$ as a constant |

$\xi(t) = \Xi_0$. Hence, the convolution integral becomes |

Defining a new set of coordinates, |

we can rewrite $R(T)$ as |

\[ |

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

\] |
| 1753 |

And since the $q$ coordinates are harmonic oscillators, |
| 1754 |

|
| 1755 |
+ |
\begin{eqnarray*} |
| 1756 |

\left\langle {q_\alpha ^2 } \right\rangle & = & \frac{{kT}}{{m_\alpha \omega _\alpha ^2 }} \\ |

\left\langle {q_\alpha (t)q_\beta (0)} \right\rangle & = &\delta _{\alpha \beta } \left\langle {q_\alpha (t)q_\alpha (0)} \right\rangle \\ |

\left\langle {R(t)R(0)} \right\rangle & = & \sum\limits_\alpha {\sum\limits_\beta {g_\alpha g_\beta \left\langle {q_\alpha (t)q_\beta (0)} \right\rangle } } \\ |

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

Unlike spherical and other regular shaped molecules, there is not |
| 1873 |
+ |
analytical solution for friction tensor of any arbitrary shaped |
| 1874 |
+ |
rigid molecules. The ellipsoid of revolution model and general |
| 1875 |
+ |
triaxial ellipsoid model have been used to approximate the |
| 1876 |
+ |
hydrodynamic properties of rigid bodies. However, since the mapping |
| 1877 |
+ |
from all possible ellipsoidal space, $r$-space, to all possible |
| 1878 |
+ |
combination of rotational diffusion coefficients, $D$-space is not |
| 1879 |
+ |
unique\cite{Wegener1979} as well as the intrinsic coupling between |
| 1880 |
+ |
translational and rotational motion of rigid body, general ellipsoid |
| 1881 |
+ |
is not always suitable for modeling arbitrarily shaped rigid |
| 1882 |
+ |
molecule. A number of studies have been devoted to determine the |
| 1883 |
+ |
friction tensor for irregularly shaped rigid bodies using more |
| 1884 |
+ |
advanced method where the molecule of interest was modeled by |
| 1885 |
+ |
combinations of spheres(beads)\cite{Carrasco1999} and the |
| 1886 |
+ |
hydrodynamics properties of the molecule can be calculated using the |
| 1887 |
+ |
hydrodynamic interaction tensor. Let us consider a rigid assembly of |
| 1888 |
+ |
$N$ beads immersed in a continuous medium. Due to hydrodynamics |
| 1889 |
+ |
interaction, the ``net'' velocity of $i$th bead, $v'_i$ is different |
| 1890 |
+ |
than its unperturbed velocity $v_i$, |
| 1891 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1892 |
+ |
v'_i = v_i - \sum\limits_{j \ne i} {T_{ij} F_j } |
| 1893 |
+ |
\] |
| 1894 |
+ |
where $F_i$ is the frictional force, and $T_{ij}$ is the |
| 1895 |

hydrodynamic interaction tensor. The friction force of $i$th bead is |
| 1896 |
+ |
proportional to its ``net'' velocity |
| 1897 |
