OCTP: A Tool for On-the-Fly Calculation of Transport Properties of Fluids with the Order- n Algorithm in LAMMPS

We present a new plugin for LAMMPS for on-the-fly computation of transport properties (OCTP) in equilibrium molecular dynamics. OCTP computes the self- and Maxwell-Stefan diffusivities, bulk and shear viscosities, and thermal conductivities of pure fluids and mixtures in a single simulation. OCTP is the first implementation in LAMMPS that...

Finite-size effects of binary mutual diffusion coefficients from molecular dynamics

Molecular Dynamics simulations were performed for the prediction of the finite-size effects of Maxwell-Stefan diffusion coefficients of molecular mixtures and a wide variety of binary Lennard-Jones systems. A strong dependency of computed diffusivities on the system size was observed. Computed diffusivities were found to increase with the...

Prediction of composition-dependent self-diffusion coefficients in binary liquid mixtures: The missing link for Darken-based models

Mutual diffusion coefficients can be successfully predicted with models based on the Darken equation. However, Darken-based models require composition-dependent self-diffusion coefficients which are rarely available. In this work, we present a predictive model for composition-dependent self-diffusion coefficients (also called tracer diffusion...
