A multiscale volume of fluid method with self-consistent boundary conditions derived from molecular dynamics

Abstract: Molecular dynamics (MD) and volume of fluid (VOF) are powerful methods for the simulation of dynamic wetting at the nanoscale and macroscale, respectively, but the massive computational cost of MD and the sensitivity and uncertainty of boundary conditions in VOF limit their applications to other scales. In this work, we propose a multiscale simulation strategy by enhancing VOF simulations using self-consistent boundary conditions derived from MD. Specifically, the boundary conditions include a particular slip … Show more

“…The accuracy and efficiency of the interFoam solver for the simulation of multiphase flows was evaluated approvingly by Deshpande et al, 51 and has been widely applied to the study of droplet dynamics. [52][53][54] Due to the rotational symmetry of the simulation, only a quarter of the computation domain of 6×6×8 mm 3 is simulated to save computation resources as in Fig. 2.…”

“…A good recent classification of multiphase models can be found in work by Soligo, Roccon & Soldati (2021). It must be recognized that the hybrid models (Zhang et al 2017;Liu et al 2021) alleviate the need to understand the fundamental mechanisms near the moving contact line, and provide a way to couple MD and CFM directly. This is another alternative that should be considered for efficient simulations of multiphase systems.…”

“…Because nanoscale wrinkles are difficult to fabricate, experiments are challenging to access . Meanwhile, finite element simulations, which are commonly employed to research wetting properties, are also unable to quantitatively describe wetting phenomena at the nanoscale due to boundary effects . In recent years, some continuum theories were adapted to analyze micro- and nanostructures’ wetting behavior and water adhesion.…”
