An upper bound to gas storage and delivery via pressure-swing adsorption in porous materials
Jordan K. Pommerenck, Cory M. Simon, David Roundy
Both hydrogen and natural gas are challenging to economically store onboard vehicles as fuels, due to their low volumetric energy density at ambient conditions. One strategy to den…
Flat histogram method comparison on 2D Ising Model
Jordan K. Pommerenck, David Roundy
We compare the convergence of several flat-histogram methods applied to the 2D Ising model, including the recently introduced stochastic approximation with a dynamic update factor…
Stochastic Approximation Monte Carlo with a Dynamic Update Factor
Jordan K. Pommerenck, Tanner T. Simpson, Michael A. Perlin +1
We present a new Monte Carlo algorithm based on the Stochastic Approximation Monte Carlo (SAMC) algorithm for directly calculating the density of states. The proposed method is Sto…
Paradigms in Physics 2.0
David Roundy, Elizabeth Gire, Ethan Minot +2
In 2016, the Department of Physics at Oregon State University began a process to revise our Paradigms in Physics curriculum for physics majors. We began with a colloquium to inform…
Experts' understanding of partial derivatives using the Partial Derivative Machine
David Roundy, Allison Dorko, Tevian Dray +2
Partial derivatives are used in a variety of different ways within physics. Most notably, thermodynamics uses partial derivatives in ways that students often find confusing. As par…
An efficient approach to approximating the pair distribution function of the inhomogeneous hard-sphere fluid
Paho Lurie-Gregg, Jeff B. Schulte, David Roundy
We introduce an approximation for the pair distribution function of the inhomogeneous hard sphere fluid. Our approximation makes use of our recently published averaged pair distrib…
