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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-06-20T09:35:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "complex fluids", "thermostat", "nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations", "dissipative particle dynamics simulations", "local definition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006cond.mat..6511A" } } }
