DL_POLY 5: Calculation of system properties on the fly for very large systems via massive parallelism
H. L. Devereux, C. Cockrell, A. M. Elena +8
Modelling has become a third distinct line of scientific enquiry, alongside experiments and theory. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations serve to interpret, predict and guide experi…

Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of molten salts: insights from molecular dynamics simulations and fundamental bounds
C. Cockrell, M. Withington, H. L. Devereux +7
We use extensive molecular dynamics simulations to calculate thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity in two common molten salts, LiF and KCl. Our analysis includes the total t…

Thermodynamics and transport in molten chloride salts and their mixtures
Cillian Cockrell, Margaret-Ann Withington, Harvey L. Devereux +7
Molten salts are important in a number of energy applications, but the fundamental mechanisms operating in ionic liquids are poorly understood, particularly at higher temperatures.…
