Abstract

Multiscale modeling is a new simulation approach which can manage different spatial and temporal scales of system. In this study, as part of multiscale modeling research, we propose the way of combining two different simulation methods, molecular dynamics(MD) and stochastic rotation dynamics(SRD). Our conceptual implementations are based on LAMMPS, one of the well-known molecular dynamics programs. Our prototype of multiscale modeling follows the form of the third party implementation of LAMMPS. It added MD to SRD in order to simulate the boundary area of the simulation box. Because it is important to guarantee the seamless simulation, we also designed the overlap zones and communication zones. The preliminary experimental results showed that our proposed scheme is properly worked out and the execution time is also reduced.

멀티스케일 모델링은 시공간적으로 서로 다른 규모의 시스템을 다룰 수 있는 시뮬레이션 기법이다. 본 연구에서는 멀티스케일 모델링 연구의 일환으로 서로 다른 시뮬레이션 기법인 분자동역학과 확률회전동역학을 결합할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 분자동역학 프로그램 중 잘 알려진 오픈 소스인 LAMMPS를 기반으로 멀티스케일링 모델링을 구현하였으며 LAMMPS에서 정의한 제3자를 위한 표준 확장 방법을 따랐다. 제안된 방법에서는 확률회전동역학 모델을 기본으로 경계 영역은 분자동역학으로 해석 가능하게 하였고 심리스한 해석을 보장하기 위하여 중첩 영역과 정보 교환 영역을 함께 구현하였다. 예비실험을 수행한 결과, 제안된 멀티스케일 방법론이 기존 분자동역학 시뮬레이션 결과와 일치된 해석 결과를 보여주었으며 실행 시간 또한 단축시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
