A Scalable Time-Based Molecular Dynamics Approach for Simulating Single-Bubble Sonoluminescence

arXiv:2606.25219v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a scalable time-based molecular dynamics (TBMD) framework for simulating single-bubble sonoluminescence within a hybrid continuum-MD formulation. Unlike prior event-based approaches, which model gas dynamics through instantaneous hard-sphere collisions, the present method integrates continuous Lennard-Jones and damped shifted force Coulomb interactions at each timestep, enabling self-consistent tracking of ionization state and...
