Chapter 1: Numerical Methods for Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations of the Hubbard Model (3,081k)

Multi-Scale Phenomena in Complex Fluids is a collection of lecture notes delivered during the first two series of mini-courses from “Shanghai Summer School on Analysis and Numerics in Modern Sciences”, which was held in 2004 and 2006 at Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

This review volume of 5 chapters, covering various fields in complex fluids, places emphasis on multi-scale modeling, analyses and simulations. It will be of special interest to researchers and graduate students who want to work in the field of complex fluids.

• Numerical Methods for Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations of the Hubbard Model (Z-J Bai et al.)
• Introduction to Propagation, Time Reversal and Imaging in Random Media (A C Fannjiang)
• Multiscale Computations for Flow and Transport in Porous Media (T Y Hou)
• An Introduction of Elastic Complex Fluids: An Energetic Variational Approach (C Liu)
• Introduction to Kinetic Theory for Complex Fluids (Q Wang)
