  A simulation work aiming to study heat transfer coefficient between argon
fluid flow and copper plate is carried out based on atomistic-continuum hybrid
method. Navier-Stokes equations for continuum domain are solved through the
Pressure Implicit with Splitting of Operators (PISO) algorithm, and the atom
evolution in molecular domain is solved through the Verlet algorithm. The
solver is validated by solving Couette flow and heat conduction problems. With
both momentum and energy coupling method applied, simulations on convection of
argon flows between two parallel plates are performed. The top plate is kept as
a constant velocity and has higher temperature, while the lower one, which is
modeled with FCC copper lattices, is also fixed but has lower temperature. It
is found that, heat transfer between argon fluid flow and copper plate in this
situation is much higher than that at macroscopic when the flow is fully
developed.
