Brownian dynamics (BD) can be used to describe the motion of molecules for example in molecular simulations or in reality. It is a simplified version of Langevin dynamics and corresponds to the limit where no average acceleration takes place. This approximation can also be described as 'overdamped' Langevin dynamics, or as Langevin dynamics without inertia. In Langevin dynamics, the equation of motion is : where is a friction coefficient, is the particle interaction potential; is the gradient operator such that is the force calculated from the particle interaction potentials; the dot is a time derivative such that is the velocity and is the acceleration; T is the temperature, kB is Boltzmann's constant; and is a delta-correlated stationary Gaussian process with zero-mean, satisfying : : In Brownian dynamics, it is assumed that the mass goes to zero. Thus, the term is neglected, and the sum of these terms is zero. : Using the Einstein relation, , it is often convenient to write the equation as, : ==See also== * Brownian motion * Immersed boundary method 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brownian dynamics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
