Abstract

This chapter begins with two most commonly used molecular dynamics (MD) simulation methods for calculating the thermal conductivity of a solid: the direct method and the Green–Kubo method. Important technical details of both methods are highlighted. Afterward, the application of MD simulation in investigating interfacial thermal transport is demonstrated with two case studies. Finally, MD simulations of thermal rectification effects are introduced.
