The melting transition of bulk and confined Stockmayer fluids (μ = 1) is analyzed using molecular dynamic simulations. The solid−liquid coexistence temperature is evaluated using a modified three-stage pseudosupercritical transformation path. The bulk melting temperature calculated using the aforementioned method agrees well with the literature value. Melting temperatures of the Stockmayer flui...

     The model fluids containing hard ellipses (HEs) and Gay-Berne (GB) particles where their center is moving in one dimension and confined between two parallel walls with different interactions are investigated using Monte Carlo simulation, NVT ensemble. The dependency of fluid pressure with respect to the wall distances is studied. The oscillatory behaviors are seen in this quantity against ...

This study uses nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation to explore the rheology of confined liquid alkanes. Two alkanes that differ in molecular structural complexity are examined: tetracosane (C24H50!, which is a linear alkane, and squalane (C30H62!, which has six symmetrically placed methyl branches along a 24 carbon backbone. These model lubricants are confined between model walls that ...
