Classical molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations were performed to investigate the whole fundamental processes of the H2 formation reaction on the amorphous water ice as a model surface of icy mantles of dust grains. The product energy distribution and formation pumping mechanism of H2 for med on dust grains were also examined.
