Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation has been widely applied to various technical fields, especially in oil-gas field development in recent years. The MD simulation of nanofluids is elaborated from the aspect of nanofluid properties research via MD, the self-assembling MD simulation of nanoparticles at O/W two-phase interface, and the flow simulation of nanofluids in microscopic pores. Finally, theoretical guidance is provided for the application of MD in oilfield development to foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses.
