Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Liquid-Vapor Interface on the Solid Surface Using the GEAR-S Algorithm

چکیده
In this paper, the Lennard -Jones potential is applied to molecules of liquid argon as well as its vapor and platinum as solid surface in order to perform a non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation to study the microscopic aspects of liquid-vapor-solid interactions. The channel is periodic in x and y directions and along z direction it is bounded by atomic walls. It was found that density of the liquids near the solid walls fluctuated greatly and that the structure was more like a solid than a liquid. This indicates that the interactions of solid and liquid molecules are very strong. The resultant surface tension, liquid density and vapor density are found to be well predicted when compared with the experimental data for argon. Liquid and vapor densities were found to depend on the cutoff radius which induces the use of M P3 (particle-particle particle-mesh) method which was implemented for evaluation of force and surface tension. Keywords—Lennard-Jones Potential, Molecular Dynamics Simulation, Periodic Boundary Conditions (PBC), Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (NEMD).

Simulation of nanodroplet impact on a solid surface
A novel computational fluid dynamics and molecular kinetic theory (CFD-MK) method was developed to simulate the impingement of a nanodroplet onto a solid surface. A numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equation using a volume-of-fluid (VOF) technique was used to model nanodroplet deformation. Dynamic contact angle during droplet impact was obtained by molecular kinetic theory. This dynamic c...

The self-wetting properties of ionic crystal surfaces are studied, using NaCl(100) as a prototype case. The anomalously large contact angle measured long ago by Mutaftschiev [1,2] is well reproduced by realistic molecular dynamics simulations. Based on these results, and on independent determinations of the liquid-vapor (γ LV) and the solid-vapor interface free energy (γ SV) [3], an estimate of...
متن کاملMolecular simulation of fluid-solid interfaces at nanoscale.
The equilibrium states of vapor and liquid coexistent phases in contact with a solid surface are studied at the nanoscale by molecular dynamics simulations for a temperature close to the fluid triple point. The characteristics of the solid-fluid interfaces are determined when the interaction strength between the fluid and the solid varies in order to go from a situation of complete drying to th...
