This book aims to provide an example-based education in numerical methods for atomistic and continuum simulations of systems at and away from equilibrium. The focus is on nonequilibrium systems, stressing the use of tools from dynamical systems theory for their analysis. Lyapunov instability and fractal dimensionality are introduced and algorithms for their analysis are detailed. The book is intended to be self-contained and accessible to stud...

A small army of physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and engineers has joined forces to attack a classic problem, the ¿reversibility paradox¿, with modern tools. This book describes their work from the perspective of computer simulation, emphasizing the authors' approach to the problem of understanding the compatibility, and even inevitability, of the irreversible second law of thermodynamics with an underlying time-reversible mechanics. Comp...

This book aims to provide a lively working knowledge of the thermodynamic control of microscopic simulations, while summarizing the historical development of the subject, along with some personal reminiscences. Many computational examples are described so that they are well-suited to learning by doing. The contents enhance the current understanding of the reversibility paradox and are accessible to advanced undergraduates and researchers in ph...

Aims to take the readers through the steps necessary for solving hard problems in continuum mechanics with smooth particle methods. This book also pays attention to the parallel computing necessary for large problems and to the graphic displays, including debugging software, required for the efficient completion of computational projects.
