The dynamics of dissipative soft-sphere gases obeys Newtons equation of motion which are commonly solved numerically by (force-based) Molecular Dynamics schemes. With the assumption of instantaneous, pairwise collisions, the simulation can be accelerated considerably using event-driven Molecular Dynamics, where the coefficient of restitution is derived from the interaction force between particles. Recently it was shown, however, that this approach may fail dramatically, that is, the obtained trajectories deviate significantly from the ones predicted by Newtons equations. In this paper, we generalize the concept of the coefficient of restitution and derive a numerical scheme which, in the case of dilute systems and frictionless interaction, allows us to perform highly efficient event-driven Molecular Dynamics simulations even for non-instantaneous collisions. We show that the particle trajectories predicted by the new scheme agree perfectly with the corresponding (force-based) Molecular Dynamics, except for a short transient period whose duration corresponds to the duration of the contact. Thus, the new algorithm solves Newtons equations of motion like force-based MD while preserving the advantages of event-driven simulations.
Single-file transport in pore-like structures constitute an important topic for both theory and experiment. For hardcore interacting particles, a good understanding of the collective dynamics has been achieved recently. Here we study how softness in
We study, from first principles, the pressure exerted by an active fluid of spherical particles on general boundaries in two dimensions. We show that, despite the non-uniform pressure along curved walls, an equation of state is recovered upon a prope
Driven diffusive systems constitute paradigmatic models of nonequilibrium physics. Among them, a driven lattice gas known as the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) is the most prominent example for which many intriguing exact results have bee
Run-and-tumble dynamics is a wide-spread mechanism of swimming bacteria. The accumulation of run-and-tumble microswimmers near impermeable surfaces is studied theoretically and numerically in the low-density limit in two and three spatial dimensions.
We obtain a kinetic description of spatially averaged dynamics of particle systems. Spatial averaging is one of the three types of averaging relevant within the Irwing-Kirkwood procedure (IKP), a general method for deriving macroscopic equations from
