Formation of micelle in the real-coded lattice gas

We extend the Real-Coded Lattice Gas (RLG), which is a continuous lattice gas model for hydrodynamics (Malevanets, 1997), to simulate a multi-phase system with surfactants. We modeled the surfactant as a dumbbell-shaped particle, consisting of a set of hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends, and a rigid r...

Zusammenfassung:	We extend the Real-Coded Lattice Gas (RLG), which is a continuous lattice gas model for hydrodynamics (Malevanets, 1997), to simulate a multi-phase system with surfactants. We modeled the surfactant as a dumbbell-shaped particle, consisting of a set of hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends, and a rigid rod connecting in between. Based on this model, we carried out simulations of micelle formations in an aqueous environment.
