Interfacial interaction driven rheological properties of quartz nanofluids from molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations
Abstract:Correlations of the shear viscosity of quartz nanofluids with particle concentration, particle size, and temperature were investigated with molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A new understanding to the experimentally concluded correlations was addressed in terms of microscopic particle–water interfacial interaction in three aspects. First, the viscosity of quartz nanofluids at different particle concentrations, particle sizes and temperatures was simulated using th… Show more
