Vapor-liquid coexistence of the Stockmayer fluid in nonuniform external fields.

Vapor–liquid coexistence of quasi-two- dimensional Stockmayer fluids

Applications of Wang-Landau sampling to determine phase equilibria in complex fluids.

Applications of the Wang-Landau algorithm for simulating phase coexistence at fixed temperature are presented. The number density is sampled using either volume scaling or particle insertion/deletion. The resulting algorithms, while being conceptually easy, are of comparable efficiency to existing multicanonical methods but with the advantage that neither the chemical potential nor the pressure...

Comment on "equilibrium polymerization and gas-liquid critical behavior in the Stockmayer fluid".

In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 75, 011506 (2007)] Hentschke presented new results on the vapor-liquid transition in the Stockmayer fluid. In this Comment, we analyze the data further and demonstrate that at high dipole strength, the isotropic attractive part of the Stockmayer potential is negligible compared to the thermal energy at the vapor-liquid critical point. The results therefore sugges...

Vapour-liquid equilibria of Stockmayer fluids Computer simulations and perturbation theory

Gibbs ensemble simulation data for Stockmayer fluids with #.2 = 3.0 and #.2 = 4.0 in the reduced temperature range of 0-77 (resp. 0.80)-0"98 and presented and compared with predictions based on the perturbation theories of Stell, G., Rasaiah, J. C., and Narang, H., 1972, Molec. Phys., 23, 393; 1974, 27, 1393. The description of the reference fluid is improved by applying the modified Benedict-W...

Phase coexistence of a Stockmayer fluid in an applied field.

We examine two aspects of Stockmayer fluids which consists of point dipoles that additionally interact via an attractive Lennard-Jones potential. We perform Monte Carlo simulations to examine the effect of an applied field on the liquid-gas phase coexistence and show that a magnetic fluid phase does exist in the absence of an applied field. As part of the search for the magnetic fluid phase, we...
