Abstract
This paper continues our Monte Carlo simulation study of liquid hydrogen chloride [1]. The importance of non-additive interactions is carefully analyzed. Computed atom pair correlation functions are compared to neutron scattering experiments [2]. A difference algorithm (“Δ—algorithm”) is developed, which makes non-additive Monte Carlo simulations practicable. We also report an implementation of this algorithm on a transputer network, taking advantage of the inherent parallelism of the Δ — algorithm.
