Abstract
The history of the Monte Carlo for complex chemical systems Towhee open source Monte Carlo molecular simulation tool is discussed. A proof is given that the Widom insertion method for computing the chemical potential is formally correct even when combined with the most general version of arbitrary trial distribution configurational-bias Monte Carlo. A simulation strategy for computing single component vapour–liquid phase coexistence curves is presented as a guide for inexperienced practitioners of Monte Carlo simulations. A review of papers that cite the Towhee code is presented. The paper concludes with a discussion about releasing and sustaining a simulation package that uses an open source software license.
