摘要
The task of accurately locating fluid phase boundaries by means of computer simulation is hampered by problems associated with sampling both coexisting phases in a single simulation run. We explain the physical background to these problems and describe how they can be tackled using a synthesis of biased Monte Carlo sampling and histogram extrapolation methods, married to a standard fluid simulation algorithm. It is demonstrated that the combined approach provides a powerful method for tracing fluid phase boundaries.
