Abstract

We present new algorithms for simulating pressure gradient flows in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Nano-channel inlet and outlet non-periodic boundary conditions are implemented using hydrodynamic state reservoirs and flux boundary models at arbitrary boundaries of the domain geometry. We demonstrate the new method in a complex nano-mixer configuration and for droplet deformation in extensional flow channels. The technique which we propose is applicable to any complex nano-channel configuration, and may serve as a useful tool in engineering design of nano-scale applications.
