title: Adaptive resolution scheme for efficient hybrid atomistic-mesoscale molecular dynamics simulations of dense liquids.
abstract: The adaptive resolution scheme (AdResS) for efficient hybrid particle-based atomistic/mesoscale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations recently introduced by us, [J. Chem. Phys. 123, 224106 (2005)] is extended to high density molecular liquids with spherical boundaries between the atomistic and mesoscale regions. The key feature of this approach is that it allows for a dynamical change of the number of molecular degrees of freedom during the course of a MD simulation by an on-the-fly switching between the atomistic and mesoscopic levels of detail. Pressure and density variations occurring at the atomistic/mesoscale boundary in the original version are considerably reduced employing the improved methodology presented here.
