  • Effects of surface roughness on shear viscosity 
    Papanikolaou, Michail; Frank, Michael; Drikakis, Dimitris (American Physical Society, 2017-03-13)
    This paper investigates the effect of surface roughness on fluid viscosity using molecular dynamics simulations. The three-dimensional model consists of liquid argon flowing between two solid walls whose surface roughness ...
  • Heat transfer across a fractal surface 
    Frank, Michael; Papanikolaou, Michail; Drikakis, Dimitris; Salonitis, Konstantinos (American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2019-10-02)
    The effects of surface irregularities and imperfections on the thermal resistance at a solid-liquid interface have been investigated using molecular dynamics. The molecular model comprises liquid argon confined between ...
  • Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of homogeneous nucleation of pure aluminium 
    Papanikolaou, Michail; Salonitis, Konstantinos; Jolly, Mark R.; Frank, Michael (MDPI, 2019-11-12)
    Despite the continuous and remarkable development of experimental techniques for the investigation of microstructures and the growth of nuclei during the solidification of metals, there are still unknown territories around ...
  • Molecular studies of confined liquids and nanofluids for passive thermal management 
    Frank, Michael (2015-03)
    The constant technological advances in integrated circuits and electronic systems experienced over the last few years have resulted in large temperature gradients. These can damage electronic devices. Current cooling methods ...
  • Nanoflow over a fractal surface 
    Papanikolaou, Michail; Frank, Michael; Drikakis, Dimitris (American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2016-08-01)
    This paper investigates the effects of surface roughness on nanoflows using molecular dynamics simulations. A fractal model is employed to model wall roughness, and simulations are performed for liquid argon confined by ...
