Non-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Dense Fluid Methane
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation of 125 methane molecules using a variant of the isokinetic “sllod” algorithm. The shear viscosity, pressure and internal energy of methane in a dense, supercritical fluid state (temperature 285.7 K and mass density 0.288 g/cm3) are calculated and the viscosity compared with experiment, with excellent agreement: the predicted shear viscosity is within 1% of the experimental value, improving on the result obtained for this same system by Evans (~10% agreement). We attribute the improvement to the improved non-equilibrium algorithm used. The’model for the intermolecular potential is a site-site exponentiald, with only two-body interactions being considered.

Investigation of isomorph-invariance in liquid methane by molecular dynamics simulation
In this paper, isomorph invariance of liquid methane is investigated by means of constant-NVT molecular dynamics simulations. According to the data extracted from simulations, equilibrium fluctuations show strong correlation between potential energy U and virial W. We also generated isomorph state points and investigated invariance of certain thermodynamic, structural, and dynamical properties....

Multiphase flow and tromp curve simulation of dense medium cyclones using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Dense Medium Cyclone is a high capacity device that is widely used in coal preparation. It is simple in design but the swirling turbulent flow, the presence of medium and coal with different density and size fraction and the presence of the air-core make the flow pattern in DMCs complex. In this article the flow pattern simulation of DMC is performed with computational fluid dynamics and Fluent...
متن کاملNon-Equilibruim Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Poiseuille Flow in a Nanochannel
The numerical simulation of a Poiseuille flow in a narrow channel using the molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) is performed. Poiseuille flow of liquid Argon in a nanochannel is simulated by embedding the fluid particles in a uniform force field. Density, velocity and Temperature profiles across the channel are investigated. When particles will be inserted into the flow, it is expected that the...
متن کاملPrediction of Fluid Mixture Transport Properties by Molecular Dynamics
Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of mixtures of n-decane with methane, ethane, and carbon dioxide and of the mixture carbon dioxide-ethane were performed using the anisotropic united atoms model for n-decane and oneand two-center Lennard-Jones models for the light components. The GreenKubo relations were used to calculate the viscosity, thermal conductivity, and interand intradiffusio...
