Progress in molecular-simulation-based research on the effects of interface-induced fluid microstructures on flow resistance

In modern chemical engineering processes, solid interface involvement is themost important component of process intensification techniques, such as nanoporousmembrane separation and heterogeneous catalysis. The fundamental mechanismunderlying interfacial transport remains incompletely understood given the complexity of heterogeneous interfacial molecular interactions and the high nonideality of the fluid involved. Thus, understanding the effects of interface-induced fluidmicrostructures on flowresistance is the first step in further understanding interfacial transport.Molecular simulation has become an indispensable method for the investigation of fluid microstructure and flow resistance. Here, we reviewed the recent research progress of our group and the latest relevant works to elucidate the contribution of interface-induced fluid microstructures to flow resistance. We specifically focused on water, ionic aqueous solutions, and alcohol-water mixtures given the ubiquity of these fluid systems in modern chemical engineering processes. We discussed the effects of the interfaceinduced hydrogen bond networks ofwatermolecules, the ionic hydration of ionic aqueous solutions, and the spatial distributions of alcohol and alcohol-watermixtures on flow resistance on the basis of the distinctive characteristics of different fluid systems.
