Comparison of dissipative particle dynamics and Langevin thermostats for out-of-equilibrium simulations of polymeric systems.

In this work we compare and characterize the behavior of Langevin and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) thermostats in a broad range of nonequilibrium simulations of polymeric systems. Polymer brushes in relative sliding motion, polymeric liquids in Poiseuille and Couette flows, and brush-melt int... View More
