Abstract
This paper presents simulations of 3D nanoscale flow in rectangular channel with molecular dynamics simulation method. Rectangular cross section is a frequently encountered geometric shape for nanoscale flow problems. For a given cross sectional height h, we change the width w of the rectangular cross section and analyze the influence of w/h on the flow characteristics. The distributions of density, temperature, boundary slip and flow velocity inside the rectangular cross section are investigated in detail. Liquid argon material and Lennard-Jones potential are used in the simulations. The simulation results are also compared with Navier-Stokes solutions for rectangular channel flows.
