Abstract

Slow flows of a slightly rarefied gas under high thermal stresses are considered. The correct fluid-dynamic description of this class of flows is based on the Kogan--Galkin--Friedlander equations, containing some non-Navier--Stokes terms in the momentum equation. Appropriate boundary conditions are determined from the asymptotic analysis of the Knudsen layer on the basis of the Boltzmann equation. Boundary conditions up to the second order of the Knudsen number are studied. Some two-dimensional examples are examined for their comparative analysis. The fluid-dynamic results are supported by numerical solution of the Boltzmann equation obtained by the Tcheremissine's projection-interpolation discrete-velocity method extended for nonuniform grids. The competition pattern between the first- and the second-order nonlinear thermal-stress flows has been obtained for the first time.

Optimal Bias Potentials via Ergodic Optimal Control and Generator Learning

We investigate the computation of optimal bias potentials for accelerating transitions between metastable states and for computation of equilibrium properties in molecular dynamics simulations. We formulate optimal biasing as an ergodic optimal control problem (OCP), which can be recast as a linear eigenvalue problem for the infinitesimal generator of the unbiased dynamics. We demonstrate that data-driven learning methods for the generator enable reliable solution of the OCP, computation of biasing potentials, extraction of equilibrium properties, and acceleration of state transitions. We also explore the relation of the control problem to coarse grained representations and learning of coarse grained dynamics.

Optimal limits on weak integrability breaking and protected thermal memory near qutrit exchange

Although integrability does not universally require a continuous one-site symmetry, we rigorously prove that every jointly analytic, regular Yang-Baxter deformation of the qutrit exchange interaction necessarily retains a nontrivial, analytically varying one-site charge. Breaking this local symmetry imposes a fundamental physical constraint on approximate conservation, governed by the optimal uniform bound $δ^3 \le C\varepsilon$ that explicitly relates the minimal one-site symmetry defect $δ$ to the local current-conservation residual $\varepsilon$. While breaking all one-site charges strictly forbids an exact integrable completion, an optimally compensated nearest-neighbor interaction saturates this cubic limit and anomalously extends the guaranteed infinite-temperature energy-current correlation window to order $|λ|^{-3}$ in the perturbation strength $λ$. Furthermore, we reveal a fundamental resonance obstruction for intrinsic conversion perturbations that strictly prevents any exact first-order repair of a broken one-site charge on any finite ring. Nevertheless, we demonstrate that the complete eight-dimensional charge memory matrix remains thermodynamically protected and approaches the identity for timescales $t=o(|λ|^{-3/2})$, a robust feature of the full infinite-temperature dynamics when the thermodynamic limit is taken before weak coupling.

Bi-Hamiltonian in Semiflexible Polymers built upon Overdamping Process

Quantifying the interaction between a system of interest and its ambient conditions, the memory effect links the states of two distinct Hamiltonians: one for the target system and one for the environment. In this paper, we propose the diffusion process derived from the Smoluchowski equation that can derive the evolution process described by the memory effect integration in a non Markovian regime. The Smoluchowski picture, within the framework of stochastic thermodynamics, justifies a diffusion process incorporated into the equations of motion, and the result of the derivation enables a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation with the modified equation of motion to reproduce attenuation from collisions between single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under far from equilibrium conditions. The results of the numerical experiments on the collision confirm that heat diffusion compensates for the correlated momentum arising from the memory effect between the two Hamiltonians in both equilibrium and far from equilibrium states.
