Parallel Evaluation of Pair Forces for Molecular Dynamics in Arbitrary Geometries
نویسندگان
چکیده
The new Arbitrary Interacting Cells Algorithm (AICA) for calculating intermolecular pair forces for Molecular Dynamics (MD) on a distributed parallel computer is presented. AICA is designed to operate on geometrical domains defined by an unstructured, arbitrary polyhedral mesh, which has been spatially decomposed into irregular portions for parallelisation. It is intended for nano scale fluid mechanics simulation by MD in complex geometries, and to provide the MD component of a hybrid MD/continuum simulation. AICA has been implemented in OpenFOAM and verified against a published MD code.

متن کاملThermal Development for Ducts of Arbitrary Cross Sections by Boundary-Fitted Coordinate Transformation Method
The non-orthogonal boundary-fitted coordinate transformation method is applied to the solution of steady three-dimensional momentum and energy equations in laminar flow to obtain temperature field and Nusselt numbers in the thermal entry region of straight ducts of different cross sectional geometries. The conservation equations originally written in Cartesian coordinates are parabolized in the...

متن کاملInfluences of Small-Scale Effect and Boundary Conditions on the Free Vibration of Nano-Plates: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation
This paper addresses the influence of boundary conditions and small-scale effect on the free vibration of nano-plates using molecular dynamics (MD) and nonlocal elasticity theory. Based on the MD simulations, Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) is used to obtain fundamental frequencies of single layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) which modeled in this paper as the mo...
متن کاملPutative Binding Sites of Dopamine and Arachidonoyl Dopamine to Beta-lactoglobulin: A Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Study
Because of participation in many aspects of human life, and due to oxidation-sensitive characteristics of dopamine (DA) and arachidonoyl dopamine (AA-DA), the necessity of biocompatible carrier to keep them against oxidation is of importance. In this work, we explored the putative binding sites of DA and AA-DA to -lactoglobulin (BLG) as potent carrier. Docking results identified the binding si...
