Numerical Simulation of Viscous Flow: A Study of Molecular Dynamics and Computational Fluid Dynamics

Molecular dynamics (MD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) allowresearchers to study fluid dynamics from two very different standpoints. From a microscopic standpoint, molecular dynamics uses Newton's second law of motion to simulate the interatomic behavior of individual atoms, using stati...
