Abstract

We have developed an extended version of the Real-Coded Lattice Gas Method, in order to simulate behaviors of multi-phase systems with surfactants. We characterized surfactants by dumbbell-shaped particles, composed by sets of hydrophilic ends and hydrophobic ends connected by rigid rods. By adopting our model, we conducted simulations of micelle formations by surfactants in an aqueous environment. In the simulations, our model provided significant results which reflect some of the properties of actual micelle structures.
