Using a hybrid simulation method that combines a lattice-Boltzmann approach for the flow and a molecular dynamics model for the polymer, we investigated the effect of solvent quality on the flow-induced polymer translocation through a nanopore.

The effect of channel width on the density structure of confined fluid in the nano-/micro-channels is examined by equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulation. It was found that the density oscillation occurs near the wall in both cases of the macroscale or nanoscale confined flow. There exists a threshold channel width L threshold , when channel width H<L threshold , density oscillates throughout the channel. When H>L threshold , L threshold is constant and about 5–6 molecular diameter long, and the density becomes uniform beyond this threshold layer. A newly defined ch number may serve to be the parameter to compare similarity in the micro-/nano-scale channel flow. Moreover, the effect of the density oscillation on fluid mass flux rate is examined quantitatively. The result shows that the effect should be considered when the channel width is below 5 molecular diameter.

Temperature and pressure have direct and remarkable implications for drying and dewatering effect of low rank coals such as lignite. To understand the microenergy change mechanism of lignite, the molecular dynamics simulation method was performed to study the self-diffusion of lignite/water under different temperatures and pressure. The results showed that high temperature and high pressure can promote the diffusion of lignite/water system, which facilitates the drying and dewatering of lignite. The volume and density of lignite/water system will increase and decrease with temperature increasing, respectively. Though the pressure within simulation range can make lignite density increase, the increasing pressure showed a weak impact on variation of density.

We study the "folding" behaviors of homopolymers with one end fixed. By using canonical ensemble molecular dynamics simulation method, we observe the conformational changes during folding processes. Long chains collapse to the helical nuclei, then regroup to helix from the free-end to form the compact conformations through the middle stages of helix-like coil and helix-like cone, while short chains do not apparently have the above mentioned middle stages. Through simulated annealing, the native conformation of homopolymer chain in our model is found to be helix. We show the relations between specific heat C v (T) and radius of gyration R g (T) as functions of temperature, chain length and the interaction strength, respectively. We find that these two quantities match well and can be combined to interpret the "folding" process of the homopolymer. It is found that the collapse temperature Tθ and the native-like folding temperature T f do not change with the chain length in our model, however the interaction strength affects the values of Tθ and T f .

This paper investigates the characteristics of a nitrogen jet (the thermodynamic conditions ranging from subcritical to supercritical) ejected into a supercritical nitrogen environment using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. The thermodynamic properties of nitrogen obtained by molecular dynamics show good agreement with the Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) equation of state (EOS). The agreement provides validation for this nitrogen molecular model. The molecular dynamics simulation of homogeneous nitrogen spray is carried out in different thermodynamic conditions from subcritical to supercritical, and a spatio-temporal evolution of the nitrogen spray is obtained. The interface of the nitrogen spray is determined at the point where the concentration of ejected fluid component reaches 50%, since the supercritical jet has no obvious vapor-liquid interface. A stability analysis of the transcritical jets shows that the disturbance growth rate of the shear layer coincides very well with the classical theoretical result at subcritical region. In the supercritical region, however, the growth rate obtained by molecular dynamics deviates from the theoretical result.
