Examination of metastable states of fluids provides important information pertinent to cavitation and homogeneous nucleation. Homogeneous nucleation, in particular, is an important topic of research. Molecular Dynamics simulation is a well-endorsed method to simulate metastabilitites, as they are limited to mesoscopic scales of length and time and this life-time is essentially zero on a laboratory time scale. In the present study, a molecular dynamics code has been used in conjunction with MOLDY to investigate phase change in a Lennard-Jones liquid. The Lennard-Jones atoms were subjected to different temperatures at various number densities and the pressure was recorded for each case. The appearance of a change of phase is characterized by the formation of clusters or formation of voids as described by the radial distribution function.

Classic Nucleation Theory

The bubble homogeneous nucleation in superheated liquid argon is studied by molecular dynamics simulation in NVT ensemble. L-J potential is adopted for the interaction of argon atom. The simulated particle numbers of argon atom is 10976. The non-dimensional size of simulated box is 27.8×27.8×27.8. The initial non-dimensional temperature and density are 0.4 and 0.51 separately. The results show that the bubble homogeneous nucleation is divided into the waiting process, the appearing process of numerous small bubble nucleuses and the aggregation process of small bubble nucleuses. By fitting simulated data, we find that the bubble nucleation rate is eight orders of magnitudes bigger than the result of classic nucleation theory. The bubble nucleation rate increases along with the increasing of density and superheated temperature, which agrees well with one of classic nucleation theory.
