Parallelization of dissipative particle dynamics simulation

The dissipative particle dynamics simulation is usually used to study polymer in mesoscopic space. The traditional methods are resource intensive, especially when the scale of research is large. Therefore, improving computing efficiency is a key point in this research area. Two major issues are addressed in this paper. First, the DPD methods are analysed and the most time-consuming parts are identified: conservative force, dissipative force and random force. Second, we describe how to parallelize the existing serial application in the Windows Compute Cluster Server (WCCS) platform. The results show that the parallel algorithm not only effectively shortens the computing time, but also improves the resource utilization rate.

Many-body dissipative particle dynamics simulation of wetting phenomena

With the development of the simulation of particle dynamics, the traditional dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method can not satisfy the needs of research in static or dynamic wetting phenomena. However, the Many-body DPD approach extends the ability of the traditional method to simulate the interface between solid and liquid or some other situation. In this paper, we propose a Many-body DPD program to simulate the solid-liquid interface and get satisfactory results.
