Coalescence of two nanoscopic argon droplets by molecular dynamics simulation

The time stamp in the file name indicates the number of elapsed time steps, e.g.: *_ts000005000.csv => 5000 time steps = 2 fs x 5000 = 10 ps. The archive "early.tar.xz" contains data for the "early" stages of the coalescence process with fine time resolution (1 ps) and the archive "full.tar.xz" contains data for the "full" process with coarser time resolution (10 ps). A simple python script to plot coalescing droplets contours from the *.csv is provided in the subdirectory python/ (Tree view).

It will generate contour plots and save them as *.pdf files. Additionally, a sequence of all contours will be created by merging the *.pdf files to a single file. Extracted from the interface contours, the evolution of the bridge radius r_b [nm] as well as back of drop positions x_bdl [nm] (left) and x_bdr [nm] (right) over time t [ns] can be found in the *_evo.tab files.
