Area of Science:

  • Computational physics
  • Soft condensed matter theory
  • Mesoscopic fluid dynamics

Background:

  • Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) excels at simulating fluid hydrodynamics but struggles with accurate thermodynamics.
  • Traditional DPD lacks the flexibility to represent real system thermodynamics, limiting its application.
  • Multibody DPD (MDPD) extends DPD to better describe thermodynamics with minimal performance cost.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate a modified Andersen barostat into an improved MDPD model for constant-pressure simulations.
  • To evaluate the performance of this new MDPD model for single- and multicomponent systems.
  • To enable more realistic simulations of soft condensed matter under experimental conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a modified Andersen barostat within the MDPD framework.
