Abstract
- Structurally-stable atomistic one-dimensional shockwaves have long been simulated by injecting fresh cool particles and extracting old hot particles at opposite ends of a simulation box. The resulting shock profiles demonstrate tensor temperature, with the longitudinal temperature exceeding the transverse, and Maxwell's delayed response, with stress lagging strainrate and heat flux lagging temperature gradient. Here this same geometry, supplemented by a short-ranged external "plug" field, is used to simulate steady Joule-Kelvin throttling flow of hot dense fluid through a porous plug, producing a dilute and cooler product fluid.<br />Comment: Eight pages and three figures. Comments welcome
