Description

Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) is the study of fundamental fluid flow using molecular simulation - 'non-equilibrium' because the system is driven away from thermodynamic equilibrium by wall motion, temperature and pressure gradients or contains an interface, e.g. a liquid-vapour coexistence.

NEMD Conference 13th and 14th June 2024

We are pleased to announce the next UK Fluid Network Special Interest Group on Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (NEMD) meeting will be held at Imperial College London on the 13th and 14th of June 2024. To sign up to give a talk, post or just attend, please use the link here:

The key deadlines are as follows:

• 31st March - submissions to be considered for a talk.
• Final abstract submission by the 10th May (invited speakers and posters only).

Please note, places are limited to around 40. This will be part funded by the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science as a joint Japanese-UK conference.

The plan for the 2 day meeting is as follows

Any questions please contact the conference organisation committee, which includes:

• Edward Smith, Brunel University London
• Jame Ewen, Imperial College London
• Rohit Pillai, Ediburgh University

Second meeting of the NEMD SIG - 6th Sep 2021 Online

Our second NEMD SIG meeting took place on Monday the 6th September 2021 using Microsoft Teams. We had a range of international speakers from Australian, China, India, Europe and the US. We recorded all talks in three parts https://youtu.be/DgAFUfspntY, https://youtu.be/wVHlGTRlmWg and https://youtu.be/lVzD4G1yowE so attendees can catch up on talks they missed. There are also open to the UK fluids community to learn more about NEMD and how it can be useful to their research.

The book of abstracts is here, the program from the day is below where clicking on the speakers name will take you to their website and clicking on the talk name wil go to the video from the day:

The conference is organised as a collaboration between Matthew Borg (Edinburgh),  James Ewen (Imperial) and Edward Smith (Brunel).

Kick-off Meeting

The kick-off meeting was on the 17th January 2020 at Brunel University.

The program and abstract are here and the plan for the day was as follows, with links to talks available by clicking on the talk title:

From the discussion sessions, we talked about three topics in groups, with the following notes

1. Way forward - how do we get further funding for the next SIG meeting (N.B. we spent £2,000 on this meeting), where do we host the next meeting? What do we want for the focus? 

2. Links between fundamental NEMD work and existing funding areas (EPSRC, ERC, Leverhulme, Royal Society)? Routes to new funds (e.g. setting up a NEMD CDT or creating an MD UKRI theme)

3. Links to industrial problems. How do we demonstrate value for industry? What can we do next with the SIG to encourage this?

You need to register as a member of the UK fluids network (https://fluids.ac.uk/register) in order to be added as member of this SIG.
