I am new to the molecular dynamics simulations (using LAMMPS to simulate fracture propagation of rocks) and one teacher ask a question about the validation of MD simulation. It is necessary to do atomic-scale experiment to verify the correctness of numerical simulation result? Or should I ask whether the validation of the molecular dynamics simulation is possible? If it is possible to verify it, how and to what extent molecular dynamics simulation can be validated.
