  2. Computational electromagnetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_electromagnetics

    Computational electromagnetics (CEM), computational electrodynamics or electromagnetic modeling is the process of modeling the interaction of electromagnetic fields with physical objects and the environment using computers. It typically involves using computer programs to compute approximate solutions to Maxwell's equations to calculate antenna ...

  3. Computational fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_fluid_dynamics

    t. e. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical analysis and data structures to analyze and solve problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the free-stream flow of the fluid, and the interaction of the fluid (liquids and gases) with surfaces ...

  4. Ab initio quantum chemistry methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ab_initio_quantum...

    A method that avoids making the variational overestimation of HF in the first place is Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC), in its variational, diffusion, and Green's function forms. These methods work with an explicitly correlated wave function and evaluate integrals numerically using a Monte Carlo integration. Such calculations can be very time-consuming.

  5. Hartree–Fock method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartree–Fock_method

    e. In computational physics and chemistry, the Hartree–Fock (HF) method is a method of approximation for the determination of the wave function and the energy of a quantum many-body system in a stationary state. The Hartree–Fock method often assumes that the exact N -body wave function of the system can be approximated by a single Slater ...

  6. Finite-difference time-domain method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-difference_time...

    Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) or Yee's method (named after the Chinese American applied mathematician Kane S. Yee, born 1934) is a numerical analysis technique used for modeling computational electrodynamics (finding approximate solutions to the associated system of differential equations). Since it is a time-domain method, FDTD ...

  7. Wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_equation

    The wave equation is a hyperbolic partial differential equation describing waves, including traveling and standing waves; the latter can be considered as linear superpositions of waves traveling in opposite directions. This article mostly focuses on the scalar wave equation describing waves in scalars by scalar functions u = u (x, y, z, t) of a ...

  8. Density functional theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_functional_theory

    Density functional theory (DFT) is a computational quantum mechanical modelling method used in physics, chemistry and materials science to investigate the electronic structure (or nuclear structure) (principally the ground state) of many-body systems, in particular atoms, molecules, and the condensed phases. Using this theory, the properties of ...

  9. Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothed-particle...

    See[1]for similar simulations. Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics(SPH) is a computational method used for simulating the mechanics of continuum media, such as solid mechanicsand fluidflows. It was developed by Gingoldand Monaghan[2]and Lucy[3]in 1977, initially for astrophysical problems.
