We critically discuss the concept of ``synchronized flow from a historical, empirical, and theoretical perspective. Problems related to the measurement of vehicle data are highlighted, and questionable interpretations are identified. Moreover, we propose a quantitative and consistent theory of the empirical findings based on a phase diagram of congested traffic states, which is universal for all conventional traffic models having the same instability diagram and a fundamental diagram. New empirical and simulation data supporting this approach are presented as well. We also give a short overview of the various phenomena observed in panicking pedestrian crowds relevant from the point of evacuation of buildings, ships, and stadia. Some of these can be applied to the optimization of production processes, e.g. the ``slower-is-faster effect.
We analyze numerically some macroscopic models of pedestrian motion such as Hughes model [1] and mean field game with nonlinear mobilities [2] modeling fast exit scenarios in pedestrian crowds. A model introduced by Hughes consisting of a non-linear
We propose a 2-dimensional cellular automaton model to simulate pedestrian traffic. It is a vmax=1 model with exclusion statistics and parallel dynamics. Long-range interactions between the pedestrians are mediated by a so called floor field which mo
We present a new Monte Carlo method to calculate Casimir forces acting on objects in a near-critical fluid, considering the two basic cases of a wall and a sphere embedded in a two-dimensional Ising medium. During the simulation, the objects are move
We examine the Jarzynski equality for a quenching process across the critical point of second-order phase transitions, where absolute irreversibility and the effect of finite-sampling of the initial equilibrium distribution arise on an equal footing.
The Navier--Stokes equations arise naturally as a result of Ehrenfests coarse-graining in phase space after a period of free-flight dynamics. This point of view allows for a very flexible approach to the simulation of fluid flow for high-Reynolds num
