Computer Simulation of Fluids, U.S.-Pakistan Collaboration

描述：该项目支持巴基斯坦拉合尔政府学院的A.Saeed博士和芝加哥伊利诺伊大学的S.Murad博士参与一个涉及非平衡分子动力学(NEMD)方法的研究项目。伊利诺伊大学的这项研究涉及使用NEMD模拟方法来评估和开发预测稠密流体混合物的输送特性(包括粘度和导热系数)的技术。在官立学院，将使用同样的方法来研究固体的结构。在接下来的两年里，赛义德博士每年夏天都会花几周的时间来获得足够的NEMD技术经验，以便在他位于拉合尔的家乡研究所开展这项研究。穆拉德博士将前往拉合尔制定研究计划，在拉合尔的三所主要大学举办研讨会，并参加为期一周的计算机模拟技术研讨会。范围：这个项目涉及一个科学领域，通过利用高速计算机来模拟复杂的工程和科学问题，该领域正变得越来越重要。这一领域特别适合发展中国家，在这些国家，精密实验设备的成本往往令人望而却步，而使用计算机模拟是一个有吸引力的替代方案。该项目很好地适应了科学发展计划，因为它允许培训一名来自巴基斯坦的科学家，并让他参与美国的研究。

Description: This project supports participation by Dr. A. Saeed of the Government College, Lahore, Pakistan, and Dr. S. Murad of the University of Illinois at Chicago in a research project dealing with the method of nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD). The research at U. Illinois involves the use of NEMD simulation methods to evaluate and develop techniques for predicting transport properties, including viscosity and thermal conductivity, of dense fluid mixtures. At the Government College it will involve the use of the same methods for study of the structure of solids. Dr. Saeed will spend several weeks each summer during the next two years to acquire sufficient experience with NEMD techniques to develop the research at his home institute in Lahore. Dr. Murad will travel to Lahore to work on the research plan, to give seminars at the three main universities in that city, and to participate in a one-week workshop on computer simulation techniques. Scope: This project addresses an area of science which is gaining increased importance by utilizing high speed computers for simulating complex engineering and scientific problems. The area is particularly suitable for developing countries where the cost of sophisticated experimental equipment is often prohibitive, and the use of computer simulation is an attractive alternative. The project fits the Science in developing Program well by allowing for the training of a scientist from Pakistan and to have him participate in research in the U.S.
