Abstract
Thermal conductivity (λ) of the Lennard-Jones liquid in cylindrical nanochannels has been determined using the Green-Kubo (GK) approach in equilibrium Molecular Dynamics simulations. Good convergence of λ(τ) has been observed along the nanochannel’s axis where the periodic boundary conditions are applied. However, it has been found that the estimation of limiting value of λ(τ) in the transverse direction, where walls confine the liquid, is ambiguous.
