Computer Simulation of Liquids (Broché)

This is a "how-to" book that explains to postgraduates and other researchers how to carry out computer simulations of liquids. It provides a practical guide to molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation techniques used in the modelling of simple and complex liquids. Computer simulation is an essential tool in studying the chemistry and physics of condensed matter, complementing and reinforcing both experiment and theory.
Simulations provide detailed information about structure and dynamics, essential to understand the many fluid systems that play a key role in our daily lives : polymers, gels, colloidal suspensions, liquid . crystals, biological membranes, and glasses. The second edition of this pioneering and widely used book aims to explain how simulation programmes work, how to use them, and how to interpret the results, with examples of the latest research in this rapidly evolving field.
Accompanying programmes in Fortran and Python provide practical, hands-on illustrations of the ideas in the text.
