非对称纳米通道内流体流动与传热的分子动力学

采用分子动力学方法研究了流体在非对称浸润性粗糙纳米通道内的流动与传热过程,分析了两侧壁面浸润性不对称对流体速度滑移和温度阶跃的影响,以及非对称浸润性组合对流体内部热量传递的影响.研究结果表明,纳米通道主流区域的流体速度在外力作用下呈抛物线分布,但是纳米通道上下壁面浸润性不对称导致速度分布不呈中心对称,同时通道壁面的纳米结构也会限制流体的流动.流体在流动过程中产生黏性耗散,使流体温度升高.增强冷壁面的疏水性对近热壁面区域的流体速度几乎没有影响,滑移速度和滑移长度基本不变,始终为锁定边界,但是会导致近冷壁面区域的流体速度逐渐增大,对应的滑移速度和滑移长度随之增大.此时,近冷壁面区域的流体温度逐渐超过近热壁面区域的流体温度,流体出现反转温度分布,流体内部热流逆向传递.随着两侧壁面浸润性不对称程度增加,流体反转温度分布更加明显.     

纳米通道粗糙内壁对流体流动行为的影响

纳米流动系统具有高效、经济等优势,在众多领域具有广泛的应用前景.因该类系统具有极高的表面积体积比,致使界面滑移效应对流动具有显著影响.本文采用分子动力学方法以两无限大平行非对称壁面组成的Poiseuille流动为对象,分析了壁面粗糙度与润湿性变化对通道内流体流动的影响.对于不同结构类型的壁面,需要通过水动力位置来确定固液界面位置,准确计算固液界面位置有助于更好地分析界面滑移效应.研究结果表明,上下壁面不对称会引起通道内流场参数分布的不对称,壁面粗糙度及润湿性的变化会影响近壁面附近流体原子的流动特性,由于壁面凹槽的存在,粗糙壁面附近的数密度分布低于光滑壁面一侧.壁面粗糙度及润湿性的变化会影响固液界面位置,肋高变化及壁面润湿性对通道中速度分布影响较大,界面滑移速度及滑移长度随肋高和润湿性的增大而减小;肋间距变化对通道内流体流动影响较小,界面滑移速度和滑移长度基本保持恒定.     

双尺度疏油结构纳米通道滑移效应的研究

针对双尺度结构表面疏油特性的优异性,采用分子动力学的方法建立油液流体正十六烷烃分子模型,研究双尺度结构壁面润湿性影响下的纳米通道内流体的流动特性,通过对通道壁面亲疏油性下的双尺度结构的构建,与光滑壁面和单尺度壁面进行比较来探究双尺度纳米通道表面结构影响下油液流体在纳米通道内密度分布、速度分布、速度滑移和滑移长度的影响.模拟结果表明:对于亲油通道壁面,双尺度结构壁面亲油性明显加强,主流区域流体密度、流体速度和速度滑移都减小,甚至出现负滑移;而对于疏油通道壁面,双尺度分层结构能加强壁面的疏油性,通道内壁面形成稳定的气层使流体主流区域的密度增大,并且通道内流体的速度、速度滑移和滑移长度明显大于光滑和单尺度结构壁面.因此,纳米通道内双尺度结构能改变通道壁面的润湿性,并且能够加强流体在纳米疏油通道内的滑移减阻效应,为纳米通道内油液运输以及润滑薄膜减阻提供了设计基础.

尺寸效应对微通道内固液界面温度边界的影响

采用非平衡分子动力学方法模拟不同浸润性微通道内液体的传热过程,分析了尺寸效应对固液界面热阻及温度阶跃的影响.研究结果表明,界面热阻随微通道尺寸的变化可分为两个阶段,即小尺寸微通道的单调递增阶段和大尺寸微通道的恒定值阶段.随着微通道尺寸的增加,近壁区液体原子受对侧固体原子的约束程度降低,微通道中央的液体原子自由移动,固液原子振动态密度近似不变,使得尺寸效应的影响忽略不计.上述两种阶段的微通道尺寸过渡阈值受固液作用强度与壁面温度的共同作用:减弱壁面浸润性,过渡阈值向大尺寸区域迁移;相较于低温壁面,高温壁面处的过渡阈值更大.增加微通道尺寸,固液界面温度阶跃呈单调递减趋势,致使壁面温度边界和宏观尺度下逐渐符合.探讨尺寸效应有助于深刻理解固液界面能量输运及传递机制.

Axisymmetric convection flow of fractional Maxwell fluid past a vertical cylinder with velocity slip and temperature jump

A novel finite volume method is developed to investigate the axisymmetric convection flow and heat transfer of fractional viscoelastic fluid past a vertical cylinder. Fractional cylindrical governing equations are formulated by fractional Maxwell model and generalized Fourier's law. The velocity slip and temperature jump boundary conditions are considered across the fluid-solid interface. Numerical results are validated by exact solutions of special case with source terms. The effects of fractional derivative parameter and boundary condition parameters on flow and heat transfer characteristics are discussed. The viscoelastic fluid performs evident shear thickening property in the fractional Maxwell constitutive relation. Moreover, the boundary condition parameters have remarkable influence on velocity and temperature distributions.     

A molecular dynamics simulation on the convective heat transfer in nanochannels

The understanding of the flow and heat transfer processes for fluid through micro- and nanochannels becomes imperative due to its wide application in micro- and nano-fluidic devices. In this paper, the method to simulate the convective heat transfer process in molecular dynamics is improved based on a previous study. With this method, we simulate a warm dense fluid flowing through a cold parallel-plate nanochannel with constant wall temperature. The characteristics of the velocity and temperature fields are analysed. The temperature difference between the bulk average temperature of fluid and the wall temperature decreases in an exponential form along the flow direction. The Nusselt number for the laminar flow in parallel-plate nanochannel is smaller than its corresponding value at macroscale. It could be attributed to the temperature jump at the fluid–wall interface, which decreases the temperature gradient near the wall. The results also reveal that the heat transfer coefficient is related to the surface wettabilities, which differs from that in the macroscopic condition.     

Lattice Boltzmann scheme for simulating thermal micro-flow

Gaseous flow and heat transfer in micro-channels are simulated by the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Thermal LB model with viscous heat dissipation has been adopted in the simulation. A new boundary treatment is proposed based on macro variables in order to capture the velocity slip and temperature jump. The numerical results show the velocity and temperature profiles are in agreement with the analytic results in different cases, which exhibits the availability of this model and boundary treatment in describing thermal micro-flow with viscous heat effect. The variation rules of temperature jump with different parameters are also discussed in this study.

Cubic Auto-Catalysis Reactions in Three-Dimensional Nanofluid Flow Considering Viscous and Joule Dissipations Under Thermal Jump

In this problem, simultaneous effects of Joule and viscous dissipationin three-dimensional flow of nanoliquid have been addressed in slip flow regime under timedependent rotational oscillations. Silver nanoparticles are submerged in the base fluid (water)due to their chemical and biological features. To increment the novelty, effects of cubicautocatalysis chemical reactions and radiative heat transfer have been incorporated in therelated boundary layer equations. Dimensionless partial differential system is solved byemploying the proposed implicit finite difference approach. Convergence conditions andstability criteria are obtained to ensure the convergence and accuracy of solutions.A comparative analysis is proposed for no-slip nanofluid flow (NSNF) and slip nanofluid flow(SNF). Variations in skin-friction coefficients, Sherwood and Nusselt numbers against physicalparameters are tabulated. It is investigated that velocity slip and temperature jump significantlycontrol drag forces and rate of heat transfer.     

Provide a suitable range to include the thermal creeping effect on slip velocity and temperature jump of an air flow in a nanochannel by lattice Boltzmann method

The thermal creeping effect on slip velocity of air forced convection through a nanochannel is studied for the first time by using a lattice Boltzmann method. The nanochannel side walls are kept hot while the cold inlet air streams along them. The computations are presented for the wide range of Reynolds number, Knudsen number and Eckert number while slip velocity and temperature jump effects are involved. Moreover appropriate validations are performed versus previous works concerned the micro–nanoflows.The achieved results are shown as the velocity and temperature profiles at different cross sections, streamlines and isotherms and also the values of slip velocity and temperature jump along the nanochannel walls. The ability of the lattice Boltzmann method to simulate the thermal creeping effects on hydrodynamic and thermal domains of flow is shown at this study; so that its effects should be involved at lower values of Eckert number and higher values of Reynolds number especially at entrance region where the most temperature gradient exists.
