Thermal Resistance for gold (Au)-water and silver (Ag)-water interfaces are calculated using a reversed non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. Temperature and heat flow dependence of Interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) based on a solid-liquid-solid nano channel system are explained. The results are compared with existing literature to investigate the effect of different force fields for both metal atoms and water molecules, and also to demonstrate the application of the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to different systems.
