چکیده

We present a simulation of the liquid-vapor interface of argon with explicit inclusion of the three-body interactions. The three-body contributions to the surface tension are calculated using the Kirkwood-Buff approach. Monte Carlo calculations of the long-range corrections to the three-body contribution are calculated from the radial distribution function g((2))(z1, cos θ12, r12). Whereas the effective two-body potentials overestimate the surface tension by more than 15%, the inclusion of the three-body potential provides an excellent agreement with the experimental results for temperatures up to 15 K below the critical temperature. We conclude that the three-body interactions must be explicitly included in accurately modelling the surface tension of argon.

Experimental Measurement and Kinetic Modeling of Ethane Gas Hydrate in the Presence of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Surfactant

  Abstract: In this work, the kinetics of ethane hydrate formation has been studied experimentally and a kinetic model based on chemical affinity has been described for predicting the hydrate growth process in the stirred batch reactor at a constant volume. The experiments were done with both pure water and aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The effect of SDS on formation kineti...

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

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 ...

MODELING SURFACE TENSION AND WALL ADHESION IN MOLD FILLING PROCESS

Abstract: In this study an algorithm for mold-filling simulation with consideration of surface tension has been developed based on a SOLA VOF scheme. As the governing equations, the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible and laminar flows were used. We proposed a way of considering surface tension in mold-filling simulation. The proposed scheme for surface tension was based on the conti...
