Shear viscosity of liquid rubidium at the triple point
نویسنده
چکیده
I n a recent paper we reported non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of liquid rubidium using the isokinetic sllod algorithm for the dynamics and the Price potential for the interactions. New and more extensive results are presented which confirm that the results exhibit normal square-root behaviour of the shear viscosity as a function of strain rate at the triple point.

Molecular dynamics simulations of shear-induced thermophoresis and non-Newtonian flow in compressible fluids
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the behavior of a compressible Lennard-Jones fluid in simple shear flow in a two-dimensional nanochannel. The system is equilibrated in the fluid phase close to the triple point at which gas, liquid and solid phases coexist and is subjected to steady shear in Couette geometry. It is observed that at higher shear rates, the system develops a density...

The present investigation draws scholars' attention to the effect of exponential variable viscosity modeled by Vogel and variable permeability on stagnation point flow of Carreau Nanofluid over an electromagnetic plate through a porous medium. Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion mechanism are taken into consideration. An efficient fourth-order RK method along with shooting technique ar...

متن کاملFirst-principles molecular-dynamics simulation of liquid rubidium under high pressures
The effects of compression on the structural and electronic properties of liquid rubidium are studied along the melting curve by means of a first-principles molecular-dynamics simulation. It is shown that the calculated pair distribution functions g(r) are in good agreement with the experimental results for a wide range of pressures; the liquid rubidium is compressed uniformly at 2.5 GPa, and t...
متن کاملContact-line motion of shear-thinning liquids
It is demonstrated that, for the slow advance of a viscous liquid onto a previously dry substrate, the well-known moving contact line paradox is alleviated for liquids exhibiting power-law shear-thinning behavior. In contrast to previous models that allow contact-line motion, it is no longer necessary to abandon the no-slip condition at the substrate in the vicinity of’the contact point. While ...
