Abstract
In this research the momentum transport phenomena in a nanoscale liquid bridge were simulated by Molecular Dynamics method and its nanoscale characteristics were analyzed. Water was assumed as the lubricant. Momentum flux was generated in a liquid bridge by Lees-Edwards Method. Using the velocity gradient of the liquid bridge and the momentum flux, viscosity coefficients of the liquid bridge were obtained. Using the results the overall viscosity coefficient of a nanoscale liquid bridge was modelized. Moreover, the momentux flux is divided into two parts and we analyzed the dependence of the width of the liquid bridge on the viscosity coefficient in detail.
