Conserving the linear momentum in stochastic dynamics: Dissipative particle dynamics as a general strategy to achieve local thermostatization in molecular dynamics simulations

Abstract: Stochastic dynamics is a widely employed strategy to achieve local thermostatization in molecular dynamics simulation studies; however, it suffers from an inherent violation of momentum conservation. Although this short-coming has little impact on structural and short-time dynamic properties, it can be shown that dynamics in the long-time limit such as diffusion is strongly dependent on the respective thermostat setting. Application of the methodically similar dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) provides a sim… Show more

“…Indeed, the forcing term F in Equation (24) incorporates the fluctuating hydrodynamics force trueF, which corresponds to a gradient of the corresponding stochastic Reynolds stress normalΠij (5), and which becomes partially balanced by the Langevin damping. However, in comparison with the stochastic thermostat model driven by Brownian dynamics, [ 33 ] the stochastic hydrodynamic term of the suggested model is only active in the hybrid part of the domain (s>0) while the Langevin damping vanishes in the particle‐free part of the domain (see Equation (17a)). Furthermore, the produced dissipation does not violate the total momentum conservation because of the two‐phase flow analogy formulation, where the sources and the sinks of the two phases (Equations (3) and (4)) cancel out for the mixture momentum, which corresponds to ρ=sρ+false(1sfalse)p=1Nρp and trueui=[sρui+p=1N[(1sp)ρpuip]]/0ptfalse[sρui+p=1Nfalse[false(1spfalse)ρpuipfalse]false]ρtrueρ.…”
