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 [Comput. Phys. 12, 97 (1998)]. 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 liquid water. We also describe a method for evaluating the stress tensor for a system of rigid bodies that is consistent with the velocity Verlet algorithm. Results are compared to a constraint-based rattle algorithm of Anderson.Citation
