Computer Simulation Using Particles 1st Edition by R.W Hockney (PDF)

Description

Computer simulation of systems has become an important tool in scientific research and engineering design, including the simulation of systems through the motion of their constituent particles. Important examples of this are the motion of stars in galaxies, ions in hot gas plasmas, electrons in semiconductor devices, and atoms in solids and liquids. The behavior of the system is studied by programming into the computer a model of the system and then performing experiments with this model. New scientific insight is obtained by observing such computer experiments, often for controlled conditions that are not accessible in the laboratory. Computer Simulation using Particles deals with the simulation of systems by following the motion of their constituent particles. This book provides an introduction to simulation using particles based on the NGP, CIC, and P3M algorithms and the programming principles that assist with the preparations of large simulation programs based on the OLYMPUS methodology. It also includes case study examples in the fields of astrophysics, plasmas, semiconductors, and ionic solids as well as more detailed mathematical treatment of the models, such as their errors, dispersion, and optimization.This resource will help you understand how engineering design can be assisted by the ability to predict performance using the computer model before embarking on costly and time-consuming manufacture.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This was the text for the course I took in N-body/particle methods in grad school. Concentrates mainly on PIC/PM and PPPM methods. Could be updated with further developments of these techniques. You will need to supplement info with articles or other books on modern scientific programming methods. The info in this book is primarily theoretical development of the numerical methods. Implementation is not trivial. Definitely a must-have as a reference.

⭐The textbook, Computer Simulation Using Particles, ushered in the era of particle-in-cell codes which are still the subject of PhD dissertation research to develop faster numerical techniques to solve these problems in particle physics. This textbook was the first work published on this topic in 1981, and remains in print and available as used reference books today. It is a classic and introduces both the novice physics student and programmer to this complex problem.

⭐A must in computer simulations. Most current N-body/hydrodynamical codes build on code provided in this book.Discusses energy/momentum conservation, time integrations and mass assignment schemes, fictitious forces to avoid, etc.

⭐N体計算でよく使われる方法であるParticle-Mesh法(PM法)とParticle-Particle-Particle-Mesh法(P3M法)について、詳しく書かれている。1988年に書かれた本であるが、未だに論文などで引用される文献。
