Parameterization of the DPD force field. (a) Self diffusion coefficients of water from D1 (Wang 1965), D2 (Baranowska and Olszewski 1996), D3 (Tanaka 1975), D4 (Mills 1973), D5 (Wang 1951), D6 (Tofts et al. 2000), D7 (Murday and Cotts 1970). The average self-diffusion coefficient of water at 37°C from these experiments was computed as 3.0118 ± 0.24 × 10−9 m2/s. (b) Pressure, temperature, and energy during the DPD simulation. (c) Self diffusion coefficient of water and its sensitivity with DPD parameter, γ. (d) Estimation of the value of γ corresponding to the selected bead size, which matches the experimental self-diffusion coefficient.
