Abstract
Many-body dissipative particle dynamics is constructed to exhibit vapour-liquid coexistence, with a sharp interface, and a vapour phase of vanishingly small density. In this form, the model is an unusual example of a soft-sphere liquid with a potential energy built out of local-density dependent one-particle self energies. The application to fluid mechanics problems involving free surfaces is illustrated by simulation of a pendant drop.
