Paul Langevin

Description

The approach is characterized by the use of simplified models while accounting for omitted degrees of freedom only implicitly, i.e., by the use of stochastic differential equations.

Contained entities

Langevin equation	$M\frac{{\mathrm{d}}^{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{d}{t}^2}\overrightarrow{q}=F(q)-\gamma \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}q+\sqrt{2\gamma k_{B}T}R(t)$
	$F$ represents force acting on a particle
	$M$ represents particle mass
	$R(t)$ represents white noise
	$T$ represents temperature
	$\gamma$ represents coefficient of friction
	$k_B$ represents Boltzmann constant
	$q$ represents particle position
	$t$ represents time

Computational tasks

classical time evolution
