Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) is used to study the thermodynamic properties and transport coefficients of an argon system with Lennend-Jones potential. The results on the velocity distribution, mean free path, mean collision time, specific heat and self-diffusion coefficient agree well with the existing theoretical/experimental data. It shows that molecular dynamics method is another bridge to connect microworld and macroworld.
