This note introduces the double flip move to accelerate the Swendsen-Wang algorithm for Ising models with mixed boundary conditions below the critical temperature. The double flip move consists of a geometric flip of the spin lattice followed by a spin value flip. Both symmetric and approximately symmetric models are considered. We prove the detailed balance of the double flip move and demonstrate its empirical efficiency in mixing.
