| contents | Our focus is on simulating the dynamics of non-interacting particles including the effects of an external potential, which, under certain assumptions, can be formally described by the Dean-Kawasaki equation. The Dean-Kawasaki equation can be solved numerically using standard finite volume methods. However, the numerical approximation implicitly requires a sufficiently large number of particles to ensure the positivity of the solution and accurate approximation of the stochastic flux. To address this challenge, we extend hybrid algorithms for particle systems to scenarios where the density is low. The aim is to create a hybrid algorithm that switches from a finite volume discretization to a particle-based method when the particle density falls below a certain threshold. We develop criteria for determining this threshold by comparing higher-order statistics obtained from the finite volume method with particle simulations. We then demonstrate the use of the resulting criteria for dynamic adaptation in both two- and three-dimensional spatial settings in the absence of an external potential. Finally we consider the dynamics when an external potential is included. |
