Development of a Molecular Dynamics Simulation Model for Heat Transfer in Vapors

For many practical cases, such as gas-wall interactions, molecular dynamics simulations are aperfect tool. Here we use such molecular dynamics simulation to study the micro heat transfer ofgas in a nanochannel. However, to study larger microchannels molecular dynamics iscomputationally too expensive. Within the GASMEMS project, firstly an efficient parallel code willbe developed and a method for modeling complex wall geometries will be developed. Furthermore,a hybrid method with other particle based methods, like Monte Carlo method or with Continuummethods will be studied.
