Abstract
We report nonequilibrium-molecular-dynamics studies of a simple fluid in an infinite system of plane slit micropores, with walls of variable permeability. Our results show that the thermal conductivity of fluid s in such constrained geometry can exhibit strong anisotropy, especial ly when the pore walls are almost impermeable. We show this in simulat ions of fluid systems for substances that are only anisotropic on an a tomic, as opposed to a macroscopic, scale.
