The paper uses a unified framework to describe diffusio-osmosis and reports non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) on such systems. Different simulation methods are explored to highlight technical problems in calculations, with two NEMD methods used for diffusiophoresis.
The methodology to simulate transport phenomena in bulk systems is well-established. In contrast, there is no clear consensus about the choice of techniques to model cross-transport phenomena and phoretic transport, mainly because some of the hydrodynamic descriptions are incomplete from a thermodynamic point of view. In the present paper, we use a unified framework to describe diffusio-osmosis(phoresis), and we report non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) on such systems. We explore different simulation methods to highlight some of the technical problems that arise in the calculations. For diffusiophoresis, we use two NEMD methods: boundary-driven and field-driven. Although the two methods should be equivalent in the limit of very weak gradients, we find that finite Peclet-number effects are much stronger in boundary-driven flows than in the case where we apply fictitious color forces.
