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.

Extrapolation of thermal conductivity in non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to bulk scale

Journal Article Talaat, Khaled ; El-Genk, Mohamed S. ; Cowen, Benjamin - International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer

Predictions of the bulk scale thermal conductivity of solids using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have relied on the linear extrapolation of the thermal resistivity versus the reciprocal of the system length in the simulations. Several studies have reported deviation of the extrapolation from linearity near the micro-scale, raising a concern of its applicability to large systems. To investigate this issue, present work conducted extensive MD simulations of silicon with two different potentials (EDIP and Tersoff-II) for unprecedented length scales up to 10.3 μm and simulation times up to 530 ns. For large systems ≥0.35 μm in size the non-linearitymore »« less

Testing thermal conductivity models with equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of the one-component plasma

Journal Article Scheiner, Brett ; Baalrud, Scott D. - Physical Review. E

Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are used to calculate the thermal conductivity of the onecomponent plasma via the Green-Kubo formalism over a broad range of Coulomb coupling strength, 0.1≤ Γ ≤ 180. These simulations address previous discrepancies between computations using equilibrium versus nonequilibrium methods. Analysis of heat flux autocorrelation functions show that very long (6×10⁵more »« less

Evolutionary multi-objective optimization and Pareto-frontal uncertainty quantification of interatomic forcefields for thermal conductivity simulations

Journal Article Krishnamoorthy, Aravind ; Mishra, Ankit ; Grabar, Nicholas ; ... - Computer Physics Communications

Predictive Molecular Dynamics simulations of thermal transport require forcefields that can simultaneously reproduce several structural, thermodynamic and vibrational properties of materials like lattice constants, phonon density of states, and specific heat. This requires a multi-objective optimization approach for forcefield parameterization. Existing methodologies for forcefield parameterization use ad-hoc and empirical weighting schemes to convert this into a single-objective optimization problem. Here, we provide and describe software to perform multi-objective optimization of Stillinger–Weber forcefields (SWFF) for two-dimensional layered materials using the recently developed 3rd generation non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-III). NSGA-III converges to the set of optimal forcefields lying on the Paretomore »« less
