Introducing a force-matched united atom force field to explore larger spatiotemporal domains in molecular dynamics simulations of bitumen
This paper presents a United Atom (UA) force field for simulating hydrocarbon molecules in bituminous materials, integrating explicit hydrogens into beads with their parent atom. This method simplifies all-atom molecular models, significantly accelerating Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of bitum...
