- Abstract
- A velocity Verlet algorithm for velocity dependent forces is described for modeling a suspension of rigid body inclusions. The rigid body motion is determined from the quaternion based scheme of Omelyan. An iterative method to determine angular velocity in a self consistent fashion for this quaternion based algorithm is presented. This method is tested for the case of H2O. We also describe a method for evaluating the stress tensor for a system of rigid bodies that is consistent with the velocity Verlet alogorithm. Results are compared to a constraint based algorithm.
