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

项目描述：本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博士参与一项关于非平衡分子动力学方法的研究项目。伊利诺伊大学的研究涉及使用NEMD模拟方法来评估和开发预测致密流体混合物的输运特性（包括粘度和导热性）的技术。在政府学院，它将涉及使用与研究固体结构相同的方法。在接下来的两年里，Saeed博士将在每年夏天花几个星期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研究。穆拉德博士将前往拉合尔开展研究计划，在该市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讲习班。范围：该项目涉及一个科学领域，该领域通过利用高速计算机模拟复杂的工程和科学问题而变得越来越重要。这一领域特别适合发展中国家，在这些国家，精密实验设备的费用往往令人望而却步，而使用计算机模拟是一种有吸引力的替代方法。该项目非常符合“科学在发展”计划，允许培训一名来自巴基斯坦的科学家，并让他参加美国的研究

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.
