Abstract

In this paper we describe the computational framework for GPU-based molecular dynamics of turbulent flows. The framework is based on the open-source molecular dynamics library OpenMM. The implementation of a special type of open boundary conditions is presented together with a generic case of a turbulent flow of Lennard-Jones liquid. We compare the computational efficiency of OpenMM with another popular MD library LAMMPS and other legacy MD programs used for studying turbulence.
