Abstract:
Compared to that for two-dimensional (2D) lattices, our understanding of heat conduction in 2D gases is still limited. Here we study heat conduction behavior of 2D gas systems with momentum-conserving and -nonconserving interparticle interactions by using the nonequilibrium and equilibrium molecular dynamics methods. For the momentum-conserving system, we find that when the dimensionality of the system is changed from 2D to quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D), the heat conductivity kappa diverges with the system size L as kappa similar to In L (the theoretical prediction for 2D systems) for a short L and shows, in the thermodynamic limit, a tendency to kappa similar to L-1/3 like that predicted in 1D fluids. This suggests that the dimensional-crossover effect of heat conduction exists in 2D systems with conserved momentum. In contrast, for the momentum-nonconserving system, as L increases, finite heat conductivity independent of L is observed. These findings are in agreement with the predictions given by hydrodynamic theory and thus further confirm the validity of the theory in 2D gases.
