ANNUAL REVIEWS OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS III

edited by Dietrich Stauffer (Cologne University)

This series of books covers all areas of computational physics, collecting together reviews where a newcomer can learn about the state of the art regarding methods and results. Articles are submitted by e-mail before deadlines which are kept by the editor.

Biologically motivated simulations, glasses, world-record molecular dynamics, deposition on surfaces, and hydrodynamics are discussed in this volume which ends with an explanation of elementary particle physics (QCD) and their phase transitions.


Contents:

  • Preface (D Stauffer)
  • Computer Simulations of Supercooled Liquids and Structural Glasses (W Kob)
  • Evolution Motivated Computer Models (N Vandewalle & M Ausloos)
  • A Survey of Genetic Algorithms (M Tomassini)
  • Parallel Algorithms for Short-Range Molecular Dynamics (D M Beazley et al.)
  • Dynamics of Nonequilibrium Deposition with Diffusional Relaxation (V Privman)
  • Recent Advances in Lattice Boltzmann Computing (Y H Qian et al.)
  • Condensed Matter Physics at One Tera-Kelvin (J Potvin)


Readership: Computational physicists, condensed matter physicists, high energy physicists and theoretical biologists.


"This book contains 7 reviews on Computational Physics and Computer Science. Though each review hardly relates to others, all the reviews are very well written and carefully designed to draw interest of all researchers of related study."

Bulletin of Japan Physical Society
