Abstract: The diffusion behavior of simple fluid argon confined in micropores was studied by molecular dynamics simulation. The effects of micropore type, pore width, temperature, and density on diffusivity were simulated and analyzed. The diffusivity in micropores is much lower than that of the bulk, and it decreases as the pore width decreases. The parallel diffusivity is obviously larger than the perpendicular one, and the diffusivity in the channel pores is lower than that in the slit pores. The temperature and density are also important factors that affect the diffusivity in micropores.
