Title: Real-fluid Transport Property Computations Based on the Boltzmann-weighted Full-dimensional Potential Model

Abstract: The intermolecular potential plays crucial roles in real-fluid interactions away from the ideal-gas equilibrium, such as supercritical fluid, high-enthalpy fluid, plasma interactions, etc. We propose a Boltzmann-weighted Full-dimensional (BWF) potential model for real-fluid computations. It includes diverse intermolecular interactions so as to determine the potential well, molecular diameter, dipole moment, polarizability of species without introducing bath gases, allowing more accurate descriptions of potential surfaces with more potential parameters. The anisotropy and temperature dependence of potential parameters are also considered by applying the Boltzmann weighting on all orientations. Through the high-level Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory calculations, full-dimensional potential energy surface datasets are obtained in 432 orientations for each species. Subsequently, the Boltzmann-weighted Full-dimensional potential parameters are derived by training the dataset exceeding 5*106 data, including nonpolar and polar molecules, radicals, long-chain molecules, and ions. These BWF transport properties calculated by the BWF potential have been compared against the Lennard-Jones transport properties as well as experimental viscosity, mass diffusivity, and thermal conductivity coefficients. It shows discrepancies of viscosity coefficients within 1% and 5% for nonpolar and polar molecules, respectively. Furthermore, this potential model is applied to study radicals, long-chain molecules, and ions, for which the experimental data is rarely accessed in high accuracy. It indicates significant prediction improvements of complex interactions between various particles. The new transport properties are also embedded to predict the laminar flame speeds and the flame extinction limits of methane, dimethyl ether, and n-heptane at elevated pressures, confirming its predictivity and effectiveness.
