Thermophysical properties of a simple model substance
are computed by MD and NEMD computer simulations
and compared with theoretical expressions.
Motivated by the success of a polynomial short range
repulsive (shrep) potential [1], the short range
attractive (shrat) potential (in reduced units)
φ ∝ (1−r)(3−2r)3, r≤ 3/2,
and φ=0, r>3/2 is used. It leads to a
physical behavior similar to that of a Lennard-Jones
system. The short range and the smooth cut-off however,
provide significant advantanges for numerical studies. The
thermophysical properties presented include the pressure
as function of the density for various temperatures,
the elasticity
coefficients, the visco-elastic behavior in the liquid, as well
as the elastic behavior and the plastic flow in the solid.
The elastic property is of importance for solid friction [1].
