Liquid Na is a highly effective heat transfer fluid in high temperature reactors like Nuclear reactor, internal combustion engines etc. A detail study of the interactions between different metal surfaces and liquid Na is very helpful for different purposes.
Taking the help of molecular simulation technique, wetting characteristics of liquid sodium on different metal surfaces (such as Ni, Cr and steel) are being studied. Equilibrium Molecular dynamics are being conducted to study the structure, dynamics and contact angle of liquid Na at different temperatures. Contact angles are measured by using different simulation methods and the comparison is shown. We present a comprehensive study of wetting transition of liquid Na using molecular simulation techniques.
