Note: Local thermal conductivities from boundary driven non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations

Journal Article Bresme, F., E-mail: f.bresme@imperial.ac.uk ; Department of Chemistry, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim ; Armstrong, J., E-mail: j.armstrong@imperial.ac.uk - Journal of Chemical Physics

We report non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of heat transport in models of molecular fluids. We show that the “local” thermal conductivities obtained from non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations agree within numerical accuracy with equilibrium Green-Kubo computations. Our results support the local equilibrium hypothesis for transport properties. We show how to use the local dependence of the thermal gradients to quantify the thermal conductivity of molecular fluids for a wide range of thermodynamic states using a single simulation.

Error correction in multi-fidelity molecular dynamics simulations using functional uncertainty quantification

Journal Article Reeve, Samuel Temple ; Strachan, Alejandro - Journal of Computational Physics

We use functional, Fréchet, derivatives to quantify how thermodynamic outputs of a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation depend on the potential used to compute atomic interactions. Our approach quantifies the sensitivity of the quantities of interest with respect to the input functions as opposed to its parameters as is done in typical uncertainty quantification methods. We show that the functional sensitivity of the average potential energy and pressure in isothermal, isochoric MD simulations using Lennard–Jones two-body interactions can be used to accurately predict those properties for other interatomic potentials (with different functional forms) without re-running the simulations. This is demonstrated undermore »« less

Functional uncertainty quantification for isobaric molecular dynamics simulations and defect formation energies

Journal Article Reeve, Samuel Temple ; Strachan, Alejandro - Modelling and Simulation in Materials Science and Engineering

Functional uncertainty quantification (FunUQ) was recently proposed to quantify uncertainties in models and simulations that originate from input functions, as opposed to parameters. This paper extends here FunUQ to quantify uncertainties originating from interatomic potentials in isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and to the calculation of defect formation energies. We derive and verify a computationally inexpensive expression to compute functional derivatives in MD based on perturbation theory. We show that this functional derivative of the quantities of interest (average internal energy, volume, and defect energies in our case) with respect to the interatomic potential can be used to predict thosemore »« less
