A kinetic theory description of liquid menisci at the microscale

A kinetic model for the study of capillary flows in devices with microscale geometry ispresented.The model is based on the Enskog-Vlasov kinetic equation and provides a reasonabledescription of both fluid-fluid and fluid-wall interactions.Numerical solutions are obtained by an extension of the classical Direct Simulation MonteCarlo (DSMC) to dense fluids.The equilibrium …
