Theory and Simulation of Friction and Lubrication,na such as friction, lubrication, and wear. This chapter is meant to serve as a guide for conducting MD simulations to further deepen our understanding of the processes that occur when two surfaces are in relative sliding motion. Some of the key mechanisms leading to friction will be discussed first

Simulation of Nanodroplets on Solid Surfaces: Wetting, Spreading and Bridging,olecular Dynamics computer simulation, using a coarse-grained bead-spring model of flexible macromolecules. For nanodroplets adsorbed on ultrathin cylindric fibers we observe a transition from an axially-symmetric “barrel” shape to asymmetric “clam” shape upon changes in the fiber radius, the size o

Computer Simulation of Colloidal Suspensions,ch as colloidal suspensions. It is a major challenge to understand the fascinating properties of colloids from first principles, i.e., by deriving its properties from the microscopic interactions. Here, concepts borrowed from statistical physics are described, which are capable to overbridge the gap

Computer Simulation of Liquid Crystals, the characteristic features of liquid crystals, may be studied through equilibrium wave-vector-dependent fluctuations, or by directly deforming the director field via imposed boundary conditions. This leads to investigations of surface anchoring coefficients and the helical twisting power of chiral

Coarse-Grained Models of Complex Fluids at Equilibrium and Under Shear,ir often unusual properties. The study of idealized coarse-grained models at different levels of coarse-graining can provide insight into generic structures and basic dynamical processes at equilibrium and non-equilibrium.

Mesoscopic Simulations of Biological Membranes,ected passage of small molecules or ions. Biomembranes are constituted of a lipid matrix in which molecules such as proteins or cholesterol are embedded or attached. Lipids are amphiphilic molecules, i.e. molecules constituted of an hydrophilic polar headgroup, which is water soluble, and hydrophobi
