By using the finite size extrapolation method and combined with a Monte Carlo simulation we have calculated the zero temperature entropy of the q-state Potts Antiferromagnet in two and three dimensions which is identical to the q-color problem in two and three dimensions. The model is laid on a hypercubic lattice. When q=3 (in two dimensions) the result is in good agreement with Lieb’s exact answer. When q>3 (in two and three dimensions) the results are in strong support of Mattis’ recent conjecture for the q-color problem. This method can also treat the d>3 cases without serious difficulties.

Two methods are introduced to deal with the general q-color problem on a d-dimensional hypercubic lattice: one is the cell-growth method which gives an approximative solution of the problem in two and three dimensions, another is to combine the cell-growth method with the Monte Carlo simulation which leads to a recursion formula for the problem in d-dimensions. The results of both methods are in excellent agreement with Lieb's exact solution for the case of q = 3 in two dimensions and support Mattis' conjecture in the case of q > d, improve it in the case of 2 < q ≲ d. The validity of the recursion formula is supported by a Monte Carlo simulation up to four-dimensions.

AbstractWe consider a three-state lattice-gas with nearest-neighbor interactions on a triangular lattice as a model for multicomponent chemi- and physisorption. By varying the lateral interaction constants between the adsorbate particles, this model can be made to exhibit either enhanced adsorption or poisoning (inhibited adsorption). We discuss here the conditions on the interaction constants that lead to poisoning. We present the results of a ground-state calculation and detailed numerical study of the phase diagram for a set of interactions that exhibits poisoning. We calculate the phase diagrams and adsorption isotherms by the finite-size scaling transfer-matrix method. We consider the result as a simple model for the coadsorption of Sulphur and Hydrogen on a Platinum (111) surface, with interaction constants estimated from experimental data. The resulting adsorption isotherms are in good agreement with experimental results.

We present the results of an experimental and numerical study of the effects of a steady magnetic field on sidewall convection in molten gallium. The magnetic field is applied in a direction which is orthogonal to the main flow which reduces the convection and good agreement is found for the scaling of this effect with the relevant parameters. Moreover, qualitatively similar changes in the structure of the bulk of the flow are observed in the experiment and the numerical simulations. In particular, the flow is restricted to two dimensions by the magnetic field, but it remains different to that found in two-dimensional free convection calculations. We also show that oscillations found at even greater temperature gradients can be suppressed by the magnetic field.

Extending the preceding study of exact solutions for finite-size strain-softening regions in layers and infinite space, exact solution of localization instability is obtained for the localization of strain into an ellipsoidal region in an infinite solid. The solution exploits Eshelby’s theorem for eigenstrains in elliptical inclusions in an infinite elastic solid. The special cases of localization of strain into a spherical region in three dimensions and into a circular region in two dimensions are further solved for finite solids — spheres in 3D and circles in 2D. The solutions show that even if the body is infinite the localization into finite regions of such shapes cannot take place at the start of strain-softening (a state corresponding to the peak of the stress-strain diagram) but at a finite strain-softening slope. If the size of the body relative to the size of the softening region is decreased and the boundary is restrained, homogeneous strain-softening remains stable into a larger strain. The results also can be used as checks for finite element programs for strain-softening. The present solutions determine only stability of equilibration states but not bifurcations of the equilibrium path.

We compute the S matrix of the tricritical Ising model perturbed by the subleading magnetic operator using Smirnov’s RSOS reduction of the Izergin-Korepin model. The massive model contains kink excitations which interpolate between two degenerate asymmetric vacua. As a consequence of the different structure of the two vacua, the crossing symmetry is implemented in a nontrivial way. We use finite-size techniques to compare our results with the numerical data obtained by the truncated conformal space approach and find good agreement.

Based on LEAT’s discrete element codes, granular flow and mixing on conveying equipment are studied in two and three dimensions. Discrete element simulations, which are briefly introduced, provide detailed information on particle positions and velocities over time. This information is used to derive quantities characterizing the dynamic process of mixing. The main focus of the study presented is the mixing process of inhomogeneous particle ensembles on different grate types. For this purpose, the introduced mixing parameters are used to compare the mixing in a 3D situation with the corresponding 2D approximation on identical grates and to compare different grate designs in two dimensions.

We review Monte Carlo simulations of the Ising model and similar models in three dimensions that were performed in the last decade. Only recently, Monte Carlo simulations provide more accurate results for critical exponents than field theoretic methods, such as the ∊-expansion. These results were obtained with finite size scaling and "improved actions". In addition, we summarize Monte Carlo results for universal amplitude ratios, the interface tension, and the dimensional crossover from three to two dimensions.

Numerical investigations on failure process of rock-like materials with a single flaw were carried out under uniaxial compression based on the fracture analysis software: Fracture Analysis Code in Two Dimensions (FRANC2D/L). The change of the displacements and stress distribution were recorded around the crack. Comparative analysis is made among samples containing different angled flaw, which has great influnce on the process of crack initiation and propagetion, and with the increase of flaw angle from 30° to 75°, peak strength of the specimen increases linearly, basically. Which are in good agreement with those of experiments.

Monte Carlo simulation is used to deal with the finite temperature entropy of the q-state antiferromagnetic Potts model which is the extension of the general q-color problem (at zero temperature). The finite temperature entropy of the model in two and three dimensions is obtained which is consistent with the zero temperature results. A possible universal relation of the model to determine when the order-disorder transition happens is proposed.
