We develop a Stochastic Rotation Dynamics (SRD) model of amphiphilic molecules to study its spontaneous aggregation into micelles, vesicles and lamellar. In our talk, 1) we introduce a color method to take into account molecular interactions in SRD scale; 2) we discuss how we should determine parameters of SRD from two points of views. One is scales of time and space, and the other is the molecular potential energy; 3) we show a simulation result of self-assembling forms of amphiphilic molecules. Concluding remarks are given in the last. Our simulation results are roughly agreed with other mesoscopic simulations in a qualitative sense.
