ESPResSo is a software package for simulations of soft-matter systems, which is co-developed and used in the working group for most of its research.
ESPResSo is capable of doing classical w:Molecular dynamics simulations of many types of systems in different w:statistical ensembles (NVE, NVT, NPT). It contains many advanced simulation algorithms (Lattice-Boltzmann). ESPResSo is controlled via w:Tcl scripts, which gives it a great flexibility.
Besides doing the regular research on different physical systems, the working group is constantly trying to improve and extend the ESPResSo software.
