Understanding molecular simulation from algorithms to applic ations

Frenkel, D. Smit, B.

9780122673511 - Understanding molecular simulation from algorithms to applic ations
Secondhand

Article description

Understanding Molecular Simulation: From Algorithms to Applications explains the physics behind the recipes of molecular simulation for materials science. Computer simulators are continuously confronted with questions concerning the choice of a particular technique for a given application. A wide variety of tools exist, so the choice of technique requires a good understanding of the basic principles. More importantly, such understanding may greatly improve the efficiency of a simulation program. The implementation of simulation methods is illustrated in pseudocodes and their practical use in the case studies used in the text. Since the first edition only five years ago, the simulation world has changed significantly -- current techniques have matured and new ones have appeared.
