Abstract

In the present paper, a study on thermal conductivity of a quasi‐ordered liquid layer on a solid surface was performed by molecular dynamic simulation. Results showed that the motion of the molecules and their radial distribution function in the quasi‐ordered liquid layer were similar to those of solid molecules. By using the Green–Kubo formula, the thermal conductivity of the layer was calculated. It was found that it increased with the increase of the parameters of ordering. The size effect and the influence of the boundary condition were also discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
