Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present simple but efficient variance reduction methods for CONNFFESSIT-like simulations, extending the ideas of Hulsen et al. [J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 70 (1997) 79-101] and Ottinger et al. [J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 70 (1997) 255-261]. Strongly correlated local ensembles of dumbells were used, and equilibrium ensembles of dumbbells were subtracted. This idea is extended here to non-equilibrium ensembles of dumbbells. The methods are first presented in the frame of the plane Couette flow for Hookean and FENE dumbbells. Extensions to two-dimensional flows are discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Grand canonical ensemble

In statistical mechanics, the grand canonical ensemble (also known as the macrocanonical ensemble) is the statistical ensemble that is used to represent the possible states of a mechanical system of particles that are in thermodynamic equilibrium (thermal and chemical) with a reservoir. The system is said to be open in the sense that the system can exchange energy and particles with a reservoir, so that various possible states of the system can differ in both their total energy and total number of particles.

Statistical mechanics

In physics, statistical mechanics is a mathematical framework that applies statistical methods and probability theory to large assemblies of microscopic entities. It does not assume or postulate any natural laws, but explains the macroscopic behavior of nature from the behavior of such ensembles. Sometimes called statistical physics or statistical thermodynamics, its applications include many problems in the fields of physics, biology, chemistry, and neuroscience.

Ensemble (mathematical physics)

In physics, specifically statistical mechanics, an ensemble (also statistical ensemble) is an idealization consisting of a large number of virtual copies (sometimes infinitely many) of a system, considered all at once, each of which represents a possible state that the real system might be in. In other words, a statistical ensemble is a set of systems of particles used in statistical mechanics to describe a single system. The concept of an ensemble was introduced by J. Willard Gibbs in 1902.
