Combining dissipative particle dynamics and Monte Carlo techniques

[摘要] Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) has been introduced as a method for simulating complex fluids at hydrodynamic time scales. In this work we investigate the possibilities to combine this DPD method with advanced Monte Carlo techniques. We show that this combined approach results in a more efficient sampling scheme to compute thermodynamic properties. We illustrate these advantages by computing a phase diagram of two liquids that de-mix, and the calculation of the chemical potential of a polymer in solution. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
