| For the simplest objects, spheres, the distance of closest approach is simply the sum of their radii. For non-spherical objects, the distance of closest approach is a function of the orientation of the objects, and its calculation can be difficult. The maximum packing density of hard particles, an important problem of ongoing interest,<ref>S. Torquato and Y. Jiao, [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v460/n7257/full/nature08239.html Nature 460, 876-879, 2009]</ref> depends on their distance of closest approach.
| |
| | |
| The interactions of particles typically depend on their separation, and the distance of closest approach plays an important role in determining the behavior of condensed matter systems.
| |
| | |
| The [[excluded volume]] of particles (the volume excluded to the centers of other particles due to the presence of one) is a key parameter in such descriptions,;<ref>T.L. Hill, An Introduction to Statistical Thermodynamics (Addison Wesley, London, 1960)</ref><ref>T.A. Witten, and P.A. Pincus, Structured Fluids (Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2004)</ref> the distance of closest approach is required to calculate the excluded volume. The excluded volume for identical spheres is just four times the volume of one [[sphere]]. For other [[anisotropic]] objects, the excluded volume depends on orientation, and its calculation can be surprising difficult.<ref>Forces, Growth and Form in Soft Condensed Matter: At the Interface between Physics and Biology, ed. A.T. Skjeltrop and A.V. Belushkin, (NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, 2009),</ref> The simplest shapes after spheres are ellipses and ellipsoids; these have received [http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/science/02/16/science.candy.reut/ considerable attention],<ref>A. Donev, F.H. Stillinger, P.M. Chaikin and S. Torquato, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 255506 (2004)</ref> yet their excluded volume is not known. Vieillard Baron was able to provide an overlap criterion for two ellipses. His results were useful for computer simulations of hard particle systems and for [[packing problem]]s using [[Monte Carlo]] simulations.

| |
| | |
| The one anisotropic shape whose excluded volume can be expressed analytically is the spherocylinder; the solution of this problem is a classic work by Onsager.<ref>L. Onsager, Ann NY Acad Sci, 51, 627 (1949)</ref> The problem was tackled by considering the distance between two line segments, which are the center lines of the capped cylinders. Results for other shapes are not readily available.
| |
| The orientation dependence of the distance of closest approach has surprising consequences. Systems of hard particles, whose interactions are only entropic, can become ordered. Hard spherocylinders form not only orientationally ordered nematic, but also positionally ordered smectic phases.<ref>D. Frenkel, J. Phys. Chem. 91, 4912-4916 (1987)</ref> Here, the system gives up some (orientational and even positional) disorder to gain disorder and [[entropy]] elsewhere.

| Vieillard Baron first investigated this problem, although he did not obtain a result for the distance of closest approach, he derived the overlap criterion for two ellipses.

| | |
| ===The method===
| |
| The procedure consists of three steps:
| |
| # [[Transformation (geometry)|Transformation]] of the two [[tangent]] [[ellipse]]s <math>E_1</math> and <math>E_2</math>, whose centers are joined by the [[Euclidean vector|vector]] '''<math>d</math>''', into a [[circle]] <math> C_1'</math> and an ellipse <math> E_2'</math>, whose centers are joined by the vector '''<math>d'</math>'''. The circle <math> C_1'</math> and the ellipse <math> E_2'</math> remain tangent after the transformation.
| |
| # Determination of the distance <math>d'</math> of closest approach of <math> C_1'</math> and <math> E_2'</math> analytically. It requires the appropriate solution of a [[quartic equation]]. The normal '''<math> n'</math>''' is calculated.
| |
| # Determination of the distance <math>d</math> of closest approach and the location of the point of contact of <math> E_1</math> and <math> E_2</math> by the inverse transformations of the vectors '''<math>d'</math>''' and '''<math>n'</math>'''.
| |
| | |
| Input:
| |
| *[[lengths]] of the semiaxes <math>a_1,b_1,a_2, b_2</math>,
| |
| *[[unit vectors]] '''<math>k_1</math>''','''<math>k_2 </math>''' along major [[Cartesian coordinate system|axes]] of both ellipses, and
| |
| *[[unit vector]] '''<math>d</math>''' joining the centers of the two ellipses.
| |
| | |
| Output:
| |
| *distance <math>d</math> between the centers when the ellipses <math>E_1</math> and <math> E_2</math> are [[externally]] [[tangent]], and
| |
| *location of point of contact in terms of '''<math>k_1</math>''','''<math>k_2 </math>'''.
| |
| | |
| ==Distance of closest approach of two ellipsoids==
| |
| Consider two [[ellipsoids]], each with a given [[shape]] and [[Orientation (geometry)|orientation]], whose centers are on a line with given [[Direction (geometry)|direction]]. We wish to determine the distance between centers when the ellipsoids are in point contact externally. This distance of closest approach is a function of the shapes of the ellipsoids and their orientation. There is no analytic solution for this problem, since solving for the distance requires the solution of a sixth order [[polynomial equation]]. Here an [[algorithm]] is developed to determine this distance, based on the analytic results for the distance of closest approach of ellipses in 2D, which can be implemented numerically. Details are given in publications.<ref>X. Zheng, W. Iglesias, P. Palffy-Muhoray, "Distance of closest approach of two arbitrary hard ellipsoids", Phys. Rev. E, 79, 057702 (2009)</ref><ref>X. Zheng, W. Iglesias, P. Palffy-Muhoray, "Distance of closest approach of two arbitrary hard ellipsoids", [http://www.e-lc.org/docs/2008_10_12_23_11_56 electronic Liquid Crystal Communications], 2008</ref> Subroutines are provided in two formats: Fortran90 <ref>[http://www.math.kent.edu/~zheng/ellipsoid.f90 Fortran90 subroutine for distance of closest approach of ellipsoids]</ref> and C.<ref>[http://www.math.kent.edu/~zheng/ellipsoid.c C subroutine for distance of closest approach of ellipsoids]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Method===
| |
| The algorithm consists of three steps.
| |
| # Constructing a plane containing the line joining the centers of the two ellipsoids, and finding the equations of the ellipses formed by the [[Line-plane intersection|intersection]] of this [[Plane (geometry)|plane]] and the [[ellipsoids]].
| |
| # Determining the distance of closest approach of the ellipses; that is the distance between the centers of the ellipses when they are in point contact externally.
| |
| # Rotating the plane until the distance of closest approach of the ellipses is a [[maximum]]. The distance of closest approach of the ellipsoids is this maximum distance.
