A computer program to evaluate the NVM propagator for rigid asymmetric tops for use in path integral simulations of rigid bodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we provide FORTRAN source code to facilitate the calculation of the ‘‘Noya–Vega–McBride’’ (NVM) rotational propagator for asymmetric tops [E.G. Noya, C. Vega, C. McBride, J. Chem. Phys. 134 (2011) 054117] for a given value of PT and A, B and C , where P is the number of beads, T is the temperature, and A, B and C are the rotational constants for the system in question. The resulting NVM propagator calculated by the code provided can then be used to obtain the quantum rotational energy during a path integral Monte Carlo simulation of rigid bodies.

A quantum propagator for path-integral simulations of rigid molecules.
The expression for the quantum propagator for rigid tops, proposed by Müser and Berne [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 2638 (1996)], has been extended to asymmetric tops. Path-integral Monte Carlo simulations are provided that show that the quantum propagator proposed in this work exactly reproduces the rotational energy of free asymmetric tops as evaluated from the partition function. This propagator can...
متن کاملRigid quantum Monte Carlo simulations of condensed molecular matter: water clusters in the n=2-->8 range.
The numerical advantage of quantum Monte Carlo simulations of rigid bodies relative to the flexible simulations is investigated for some simple systems. The results show that if high frequency modes in molecular condensed matter are predominantly in the ground state, the convergence of path integral simulations becomes nonuniform. Rigid body quantum parallel tempering simulations are necessary ...
متن کاملRocking Rotation of a Rigid Disk Embedded in a Transversely Isotropic Half-Space
The asymmetric problem of rocking rotation of a circular rigid disk embedded in a finite depth of a transversely isotropic half-space is analytically addressed. The rigid disk is assumed to be in frictionless contact with the elastic half-space. By virtue of appropriate Green's functions, the mixed boundary value problem is written as a dual integral equation. Employing further mathematical tec...
متن کاملNumerical Evaluation of Cushioning Pressure in Water Entry of Rigid Bodies
Effect of air cushion layer right before impact of a rigid body onto water surface has been investigated in this paper. The study is mainly focused on evaluation of cushioning pressure and the resulting free surface elevation. The air flow is assumed to be an irrotational flow which is governed by Laplace equation. The air problem and the resulting response of the water free surface are suppose...
متن کاملMass Properties Identification of a Rigid Body Using Modal Analysis
In performing vibration analysis of the car engine on the engine support, it is necessary to know the mass properties of the engine including mass, position of the center of mass and mass inertia moments. Because the car engine has a relatively complex geometric shape and is composed of different components with different densities, determining its mass properties faces many challenges. There a...
