Molecular Dynamics Simulation on Thin-Film Lubrication of a Mixture of Three Alkanes

We used the COMPASS forcefield to perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of a mixture composed of three alkanes as the lubricant for the thin-film lubrication. The viscosity of the lubrication film in the non-working state, the final film thickness, and density distribution were investigated. Th...
