We consider the A+B→0 reaction, in which particles interact through short-range forces. The analysis leads to expressions akin in form to those which describe kinetic roughening. In a situation in which particles are generated with a constant rate j0, their concentration n(t) grows as [Formula: see text] in d=1. Here the theoretical analysis predicts γ=1/5 and β=2/5, in very good agreement with direct Monte-Carlo simulations of the reaction-diffusion process.

Abstract To account for the interference effects of the Coulomb and exchange interactions of electrons the new path integral representation of the density matrix has been developed in the canonical ensemble at finite temperatures. The developed representation allows to reduce the notorious ``fermionic sign problem'' in the path integral Monte Carlo simulations of fermionic systems. The obtained results for pair distribution functions in plasma and uniform electron gas demonstrate the short--range quantum ordering of electrons associated in literature with exchange--correlation excitons. The charge estimations show the excitonic electric neutrality. Comparison of the internal energy with available ones in the literature demonstrates that the short range ordering does not give noticeable contributions in integral thermodynamic characteristics. This fine physical effect was not observed earlier in the standard path integral Monte Carlo simulations.

This paper presents the results of research on photon reflection from plane targets based on Monte Carlo simulations performed by the MCNP code. Five materials (water, concrete, aluminum, iron, and copper) are examined in the area of initial photon energies of up to 200 keV. The values of the total number albedo for photons dependent on the initial photon energy or the mean number of photon scatterings are calculated and graphically presented. We have shown that the values of the total number albedo for different target materials, expressed as a function of the mean number of photon scatterings, are in good agreement with each other and can be approximated by simple, universal analytic functions obtained by the least squares method. The accuracy of these analytic appoximations is confirmed by their comparison with the results of PENELOPE and FOTELP Monte Carlo codes.

Abstract. The evolution of two-dimensional drop distributions is simulated in this study using a Monte Carlo method.~The stochastic algorithm of Gillespie (1976) for chemical reactions in the formulation proposed by Laurenzi et al. (2002) was used to simulate the kinetic behavior of the drop population. Within this framework species are defined as droplets of specific size and aerosol composition. The performance of the algorithm was checked by comparing the numerical with the analytical solutions found by Lushnikov (1975). Very good agreement was observed between the Monte Carlo simulations and the analytical solution. Simulation results are presented for bi-variate constant and hydrodynamic kernels. The algorithm can be easily extended to incorporate various properties of clouds such as including several crystal habits, different types of soluble CCN, particle charging and drop breakup.

The dynamic critical behavior of the three-dimensional Heisenberg model with longrangecorrelated disorder was studied by using short-time Monte Carlo simulations at criticality.The static and dynamic critical exponents are determined. The simulation was performed fromordered initial state. The obtained values of the exponents are in a good agreement with resultsof the field-theoretic description of the critical behavior of this model in the two-loopapproximation.

ABSTRACTInterdiffusion in a two-dimensional compositionally modulated lattice has been studied by Monte-Carlo simulations. In the initial stages, the interdiffusion coefficient has been observed to change with time due to the development of short-range order simultaneously with the interdiffusion process. When the short-range order parameter approached its limiting value, the diffusion coefficient approached a constant value. The dependence of the interdiffusion coefficient on the modulation wavelength does not agree with the prediction of one-dimensional theories. For ordering alloy systems, the effective interdiffusion coefficient is positive, i.e., an initially present modulation decays in time, for all wavelengths.

Abstract Based on Monte Carlo simulations of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in two horizontal dimensions, the dependence of the kurtosis on the directional energy distribution of the initial conditions is examined. The parametric survey is carried out to obtain the behavior of the kurtosis as function of the Benjamin–Feir index and directional spread in directional sea states. As directional dispersion effect becomes significant, the kurtosis monotonically decreases in comparison with the unidirectional waves. A parameterization of the kurtosis estimated from directional spectra is proposed here; the error of the parameterization is at most 10%. The parameterization is verified against laboratory data, and good agreement is obtained.

The purpose of this work is to study heat conduction in systems that are composed out of spherical micro-and nanoparticles dispersed in a bulk matrix. Special emphasis will be put on the dependence of the effective heat conductivity on various selected parameters as dimension and density of particles, interface interaction with the matrix. This is achieved by combining the effective medium approximation and extended irreversible thermodynamics, whose main feature is to elevate the heat flux vector to the status of independent variable. The model is illustrated by three examples: Silicium-Germanium, Silica-epoxy-resin and Copper-Silicium systems. Predictions of our model are in good agreement with other theoretical models, Monte-Carlo simulations and experimental data.
