Solution Overview

Problem

Existing analysis methods for particle systems face challenges in reducing calculation complexity while maintaining the integrity of the flow field's shape and volume, particularly when performing anisotropic renormalization, which limits the effectiveness of reducing the number of particles and increasing calculation efficiency.

Innovation Solution

The method involves performing anisotropic renormalization on particle systems by adjusting the number of particles and their mass in each direction orthogonal to each other, transforming the interaction potential, and numerically solving the motion equation, ensuring the shape and volume of the flow field remain invariant, thereby reducing the number of particles and calculation complexity.

AI summary

An analysis method of analyzing a behavior of a particle system that includes a plurality of particles forming a flow field by using a renormalized molecular dynamics method, includes: performing renormalization on the particle system according to a degree of renormalization determined for each of three orthogonal directions according to a shape of the flow field; and numerically solving a motion equation governing a motion of the particle system with respect to the particle system after the renormalization, in which in the performing of renormalization, the number of particles is reduced according to the degree of renormalization, and the mass of each particle is increased according to the degree of renormalization without changing the shape and volume of the flow field before and after the renormalization, and an interaction potential between the particles is transformed according to the degree of renormalization in each of the three directions.
