Abstract
The movement of particles in electrorheological (ER) fluids is analyzed by means of molecular dynamic simulations. We found that the velocity profile of particles can be divided into two zones. One zone near electrodes where particles' velocity profiles change periodically like "breathing type" is called transition zone. The other in the middle of two electrodes where particles move smoothly like a plug is called "plug zone". In addition, the relationship between volume flow rate and relative pressure gradient is simulated out. Factors such as volume flow rate, critical electric field, critical pressure gradient and response time of shutting up were also analyzed respectively.
