A Thermostat for Molecular Dynamics of Complex Fluids

Michael P. Allen, Friederike Schmid

Published 2006-06-20Version 1

A thermostat of the Nose-Hoover type, based on relative velocities and a local definition of the temperature, is presented. The thermostat is momentum-conserving and Galilean-invariant, which should make it suitable for use in Dissipative Particle Dynamics simulations, as well as nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations.
