LAMMPS Code

Caption

Researchers from Northwestern University and Sandia, working with the LAMMPS code, developed a simulation strategy for solidifying metals and metal alloys where the temperature of the system is carefully thermostatted so the velocity of the interface can be accurately measured. The image here depicts a liquid/solid interface in a nickel /aluminum alloy.
