Abstract
⺠Molecular simulations have recently provided insight into clathrate hydrate nucleation. ⺠Amorphous nuclei/clusters tend to form before formation of crystalline hydrate. ⺠Hydrate growth rates and wide-ranging thermophysical properties are studied with molecular simulations. ⺠Development of order parameters is needed for studying the nucleation mechanism. ⺠Further advancements in the understanding of clathrate hydrates from simulations will involve complex sampling techniques.
