Evaluation of thermal conductivity by using Non-Equilibrium MD
Thermal conductivity of water, epoxy resin and PMMA was evaluated by a
series of VSOP (Molecular Dynamics : MD) calculation and Python scripts
(Non-Equilibrium MD). Simulation box was divided into some slabs and a
center slab was kept low temperature ,and end slabs were kept high temperature
by using velocity scaling method. Thermal conductivity was calculated by
obtained temperature gradient and heat flux. |
