More Bang For Your Buck: Quorum-Sensing Capabilities Improve the Efficacy of Suicidal Altruism
Anya Elaine Johnson, Eli Strauss, Rodney Pickett +3
Within the context of evolution, an altruistic act that benefits the receiving individual at the expense of the acting individual is a puzzling phenomenon. An extreme form of altru…
Parallelization of Kinetic Theory Simulations
Jim Howell, Wolfgang Bauer, Dirk Colbry +4
Numerical studies of shock waves in large scale systems via kinetic simulations with millions of particles are too computationally demanding to be processed in serial. In this work…
Building a Hydrodynamics Code with Kinetic Theory
Irina Sagert, Wolfgang Bauer, Dirk Colbry +2
We report on the development of a test-particle based kinetic Monte Carlo code for large systems and its application to simulate matter in the continuum regime. Our code combines a…
Hydrodynamic Shock Wave Studies within a Kinetic Monte Carlo Approach
Irina Sagert, Dirk Colbry, Terrance Strother +2
Kinetic approaches are routinely employed to simulate the dynamics of systems that are too rarified to be described by the Navier-Stokes equations. However, generally they are far…
