  • Patent number: 10691147
    Abstract: In simulating a behavior of a particle system including a plurality of particles disposed in an analysis region, by using a molecular dynamics method, centroid velocities of the particles present in a local region including a particle of interest are converted on the basis of the number of particles present in the local region for each of the particles, and thus a conversion value of a centroid velocity of the local region is calculated. Temperature control of maintaining the temperature of the particle system to be a target temperature is performed by using a difference between a velocity of the particle and the conversion value of the centroid velocity of the local region including the particle as a velocity of the particle which is a basis for calculating the temperature of the particle system.

  • Patent number: 10013514
    Abstract: A granular material is a simulation target, wherein a force acting on each grain is expressed by a potential dependent term and an energy dissipation term. The potential dependent term depends on an interaction potential ? between the grains. Physical quantities included in the potential dependent term are renormalization-transformed so that a hamiltonian form expressed by a kinetic energy of the each grain and a potential energy based on the interaction potential ? does not change. Physical quantities included in the dissipation term are renormalization-transformed so that a change rate of the potential dependent term and a change rate of the dissipation term become equal. Temporal development of a renormalized granular material is calculated by performing numerical integration with respect to a motion equation of each grain of the renormalized granular material.

  • Publication number: 20160342772
    Abstract: A renormalization transformation process is performed for a granular system S which is a simulation target based on a renormalization factor ? depending on the number of renormalizations. Position vectors and momentum vectors of grains of a renormalized granular system S? are calculated by executing molecular dynamics calculation for the renormalized granular system S?. An interaction potential ? between grains of the granular system S is expressed as ?(r)=?f((r?r0)/?), where ? represents an interaction coefficient having a dimension of energy, f represents a non-dimensional function, r0 and ? represent parameters characterizing grains, and r represents an inter-grain distance. When a dimensionality of a space of the granular system S is represented as d, by applying transformation laws expressed as N?=N/?d, m?=m?d, ??=??d, r0?=?r0, and ??=??, the molecular dynamics calculation is executed based on an interaction potential of the renormalized granular system S? expressed as ??(r)=??f((r?r0?)/??).
