Development of a Molecular Dynamics Simulation Model for Heat Transfer in Vapors

For many practical cases, such as gas-wall interactions, molecular dynamics simulations are a perfect tool. Here we use such molecular dynamics simulation to study the micro heat transfer of gas in a nanochannel. However, to study larger microchannels molecular dynamics is computationally too expensive. Within the GASMEMS project, firstly an efficient parallel code will be developed and a method for modeling complex wall geometries will be developed. Furthermore, a hybrid method with other particle based methods, like Monte Carlo method or with Continuum methods will be studied.
