FLUID MODELLING

Conventional Navier Stokes with no-slip boundary conditions cannot be used.

Pressure Gradient is non-constant along a microduct and flowrate greater than predicted.

Surface to volume ratio is high of the order of 106 m-1 for a characteristic length of 1 micron.

Other factors like thermal creep, rarefaction, viscous dissipation, compressibility etc.

CONTINUUM MODEL

Local Properties such as Density and Velocity are averages over elements large compared with the microscopic structure of the fluid but small enough to permit the use of differential calculus.

MOLECULAR BASED MODELS

Goal is to determine the position , velocity and state of all particles at all times.

DETERMINISTIC MODEL:

Particle described in the form of two body potential energy and time evolution of the molecular positions by integrating Newton’s Law of motion.

Shortcomings:

Need to choose a proper and convenient potential for a fluid & solid combination.

Vast computer resources.

Page 18: Nanotechnology2

STATISTICAL MODEL: Based on probability of finding a molecule at a particular position and

state. Six-dimensional phase space. Assumption, for dilute gases with binary collision with no degrees of

freedom.

LIQUID FLOWS

The Average distance between the molecules approaches the molecular diameter.

Molecules are always in collision state. Difficult to predict. Non-Newtonian behaviour commences,

Contradictory results in experimental data and modelling. MD seems to be the best option available. Based on MD, the degree of slip increases as the relative wall density

increases or the strength of the wall-fluid coupling decreases.

SURFACE PHENOMENA

Surface to Volume ratio for 1 micron is 106 m-1.

High Radiative and Convective Heat transfer. Increased importance to surface forces and waning importance of body

forces. Significant cohesive intermolecular forces between surface, stiction

independent of device mass. Adsorbed layer. Surface tension and nonlinear volumetric intermolecular forces.
