...Ian A. Cosden; Jennifer R. Lukes Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to calculate the surface tension of bubbles formed in a metastable Lennard–Jones (LJ) argon fluid. The calculated normal and transverse pressure components are used to compute a surface tension which is compared...

... of the counterflow type vortex tube (RHVT). Experiments have been performed using oxygen ( O 2 ) , nitrogen ( N 2 ) , and argon (Ar). Five orifices have been fabricated and used during the experimental study with different nozzle numbers of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The orifices used at these experiments are made...

... extensively used in models of thin film transport in passages in micro evaporators and micro heat pipes. In this investigation, hybrid μ P T molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to predict the pressure field and film thermophysics for an argon film on a metal surface. The results of the simulations...

...Xinwei Wang; Xianfan Xu In this work, heat transfer and phase change of an argon crystal irradiated by a picosecond pulsed laser are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The result reveals no clear interface when phase change occurs, but a transition region where the crystal structure...

... conductivity of solid thin films in the direction perpendicular to the film plane. In order to establish a benchmark reference, the computations are based on the widely used Lennard-Jones argon model due to its agreement with experimental liquid-phase data, its physically meaningful parameters, and its simple...
