Numerical investigation of microscale dynamic contact angles of the CO\(_2\)-water-silica system using coarse-grained molecular approach. (English) Zbl 1468.76073

Summary: The dynamic contact angle of a gas-liquid-solid system depends on the contact line velocity and ignoring this effect could lead to inaccurate estimations of the capillary pressures in microporous media. While most existing coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) models use one particle to represent a few molecules, we present a novel CGMD framework to model microscale CO\(_2\)/water flows in silica with each particle representing hundreds of thousands of molecules. The framework can reproduce the densities and viscosities of water and CO\(_2\), water-CO\(_2\) interfacial tension, and static contact angle over a wide range of pressures. The validated framework is applied to study the velocity-dependency of contact angle of the microscale CO\(_2\)-water-silica system. The results indicate that the assumption in the molecular kinetic theory that liquid-solid interaction is similar to the reversible work of adhesion between liquid and solid may not hold for CO\(_2\)-water-silica systems.
