There is a noticeable trend in simulations of fluid processes to try to be as much as possible multiscale, i.e. to carry out simulations from molecular scale to hydrodynamics. This is made possible by the unprecedented capabilities of parallelization, GPUs, and supercomputing in general, which allow in-silico representation of fluids with billions of degrees of freedom. Despite this formidable scientific progress, one crucial aspect still hinders a quantitative description of phase transitions: the way a phase change originates, namely the nucleation process. The elusiveness of this process stems from its strong multiscale nature, involving both atomistic and hydrodynamic scales. More…
