There are five most widely used contact angle schemes in the pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann(LB)model for simulating the wetting phenomenon:The pseudopotential-based scheme(PB scheme),the improved virtualdensity scheme(IVD scheme),the modified pseudopotential-based scheme with a ghost fluid layer constructed by using the fluid layer density above the wall(MPB-C scheme),the modified pseudopotential-based scheme with a ghost fluid layer constructed by using the weighted average density of surrounding fluid nodes(MPB-W scheme)and the geometric formulation scheme(GF scheme).But the numerical stability and accuracy of the schemes for wetting simulation remain unclear in the *** this paper,the numerical stability and accuracy of these schemes are clarified for the first time,by applying the five widely used contact angle schemes to simulate a two-dimensional(2D)sessile droplet on wall and capillary imbibition in a 2D channel as the examples of static wetting and dynamic wetting simulations respectively.(i)It is shown that the simulated contact angles by the GF scheme are consistent at different density ratios for the same prescribed contact angle,but the simulated contact angles by the PB scheme,IVD scheme,MPB-C scheme and MPB-W scheme change with density ratios for the same fluid-solid interaction *** PB scheme is found to be the most unstable scheme for simulating static wetting at increased density ratios.(ii)Although the spurious velocity increases with the increased liquid/vapor density ratio for all the contact angle schemes,the magnitude of the spurious velocity in the PB scheme,IVD scheme and GF scheme are smaller than that in the MPB-C scheme and MPB-W scheme.(iii)The fluid density variation near the wall in the PB scheme is the most significant,and the variation can be diminished in the IVD scheme,MPB-C scheme *** variation totally disappeared in the GF scheme.(iv)For the simulation of capillary imbibition,the MPB-C scheme,MPB-Wschem

Background: Hydrocarbons are increasingly being considered as potential fourth-generation refrigerants due to their environmentally-friendly properties. However, accurate prediction and calculation of their thermal properties are essential for their industrial application. Objective: In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to calculate the density, self-diffusion coefficient, viscosity and thermal conductivity of R290 at various operating temperatures of 200-240 K and pressures of 0.15 and 0.20 MPa, and 270-390 K and pressures of 1.5 and 2.0 MPa to veri-fy the feasibility of the methods. Methods: The equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation (EMD) approach was utilised. The soundness of the model and force field were verified by calculating the density of the system during the relaxation phase. In the output stage, the self-diffusion coefficient was calculated using the Einstein relation, while the viscosity and thermal conductivity were calculated using the Green-Kubo method. The simulation results were compared with the NIST data values, and the errors were analysed. Results: The density simulation results for R290 in the relaxation phase yielded an overall average absolute relative deviation (AARD) value of 3.97%. In the output stage, the simulation results for the transport coefficients of R290 showed AARD values of 7.68%, 6.60% and 11.04% for the self-diffusion coeffi-cient, viscosity, and thermal conductivity, respectively, compared to the NIST data values. Conclusion: These results indicate the feasibility of using molecular dynamics simulations to study the transport properties of hydrocarbon refrigerants. The findings also provide a foundation for future research on hydrocarbon refrigerant mixtures. Patent: The research presented in this work could serve as a valuable reference for future patent applications and technological innovations related to hydrocarbon refrigerants, particularly R290.
