Time-Symmetry Breaking in Hamiltonian Mechanics. Part II. A Memoir for Berni Julian Alder [1925–2020]
This memoir honors the late Berni Julian Alder, who inspired both of us with his pioneering development of molecular dynamics. Berni’s work with Tom Wainwright, described in the 1959 Scientific American [1], brought Bill to interview at Livermore in 1962. Hired by Berni, Bill enjoyed over 40 ye ...
Transient Heat Flow in a One-component Lennard-Jones/spline Fluid. A Non-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics Study
A one-component Lennard-Jones/spline fluid at equilibrium was perturbed by a sudden change of the temperature at one of the system’s boundaries. The system’s response was determined by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD). The results show that heat was transported by two mechanisms: (1) ...
