Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

We aim at learning the methods of coarse-grained computer simulation with emphasis on Soft Matter. We cover Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics. In order to do it we also perform a short overview of statistical mechanics. Each student will get an individual project in the middle of the course, make her/his own simulations and present the results in a form of a short talk.

Assessment and permitted materials

The mark is given according to the content of the presentation and general understanding evaluated by asking questions related to the simulations the student performed.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Starting from 13th of may, lectures will contain hands-on sessions and joint discussions of the individual projects.

Examination topics

Coarse-grained approach, Monte Carlo, Molecular Dynamics, random force, Metropolis, RDF, SF, cluster analysis, per potentials, energy in thermodynamic equilibrium.

Reading list

Understanding Molecular Simulation: From Algorithms to Applications, Book by Berend Smit and Daan Frenkel; Computer Simulation of Liquids, Book by D. J. Tildesley and M.P. Allen
