โœฆ Synopsis

A brief historical survey of progress in computer simulations of liquid crystal phases is provided. We stress the main ideas and developments in the field, concentrating on three different levels of molecular modelling: lattice models, soft nonspherical particles and atomistic models. Emphasis is placed on current state-of-the-art developments including a new parallel molecular dynamics algorithm designed for the study of flexible liquid crystals.

A review is presented of computer simulations of liquid crystal systems. It will be shown that the shape o particles is of crucial importance for the stability of the phases. Both static and dynamic properties of the systems are obtained by means of computer simulation.

The aim of the work presented here is to use computer simulation techniques to examine the effect of dipolar interactions on the structures formed by model mesogenic molecules. The most wide-ranging and substantial part of the work involves an in-depth Monte Carlo (MC) study of the effect of dipolar

The usefulness of computer simulations of dense polyatomic fluids is asserted and illustrated by means of several examples (especially rotation-translation couplinq and conformational transitions in alcanes). Technical points and present trends in simulations are discussed as well.
