The Effect of Noise on the Propagating Speed of Pre-mixed Laminar Flame Fronts
Hongliang Liu, Jonathan Goodman
We study the effect of thermal noise on the propagation speed of a planar flame. We show that this out of equilibrium greatly amplifies the effect of thermal noise to yield macrosc…

A Bifurcation Monte Carlo Scheme for Rare Event Simulation
Hongliang Liu, Jonathan Goodman
The bifurcation method is a way to do rare event sampling -- to estimate the probability of events that are too rare to be found by direct simulation. We describe the bifurcation m…
