Abstract

A simple model, i.e., sodium bis(2‐ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate [Aerosol OT (AOT)] represented by one‐head and two‐tail beads tied together by a harmonic spring and water or isooctane by one bead, was put forward via dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation method. According to the experimental AOT/water/isooctane system, the aggregates of simulated reverse micelle can be obtained in the three‐dimensional cell. Three types of water morphology, such as bound water, trapped water, and bulky water, were distinguished using the water isodensity slice in DPD simulation. The IR spectra experiment also showed three types of water in the same system. One conclusion is that DPD simulation can be considered as an adjunct to experiments and provide other valuable information for the experiment.
