Abstract:
A velocity Verlet algorithm for velocity dependent
forces is described for modeling a suspension of rigid
body inclusions. The rigid body motion is determined
from the quaternion based scheme of Omelyan. An
iterative method to determine angular velocity in a self
consistent fashion for this quaternion based algorithm
is presented. This method is tested for the case of H2O.
We also describe a method for evaluating the stress
tensor for a system of rigid bodies that is consistent
with the velocity Verlet alogorithm. Results are
compared to a constraint based algorithm.
