To improve computation efficiency of Molecular dynamics (MD) method dramatically, we developed Renormalized molecular dynamics (RMD) method. This method makes it possible to decrease the number of particles whilst maintaining macroscopic phenomena at similarity. We carried out polymer simulation by using RMD method and have succeeded in replicating several particular phenomena of viscoelastic fluids.
