Welcome to NEMD 2026

The 5th Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (NEMD) meeting will be held at The University of Edinburgh, from 6 to 10 July 2026.

We will also be running a summer school for the first two days, starting from the basics of fluid simulation using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, towards modelling more complex fluid behaviour and modelling techniques.

Scope

Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) is the study of fundamental fluid flow using molecular simulation – 'non-equilibrium' because the system is driven away from thermodynamic equilibrium by wall motion, temperature, and pressure gradients or at a multiphase interface.

We welcome contributions that cover all forms of NEMD modelling, investigating (but not limited to):

  • multiphase/interfacial flows
  • heat/mass transfer
  • nucleation and phase change
  • porous media flows
  • novel modelling, analytical, and post-processing techniques
  • coarse-graining methods
  • Machine Learning (ML) techniques for NEMD
  • practical applications of MD modelling to industry

Summer School

An optional summer school will be run before the conference on 6 to 7 July 2026, with guest lectures from international experts on a range of NEMD topics.

View the conference programme, including details on keynotes, talks and social events.

NEMD 2026 comes to the beautiful city of Edinburgh, home to pioneering Scottish scientists such as James Clerk Maxwell, Robert Brown, James Watt and Joseph Black.

Submit an abstract (paper or poster) for NEMD2026.
