Several researchers observed a significant increase in water flow through graphene-based
nanocapillaries. As graphene sheets are flexible (Wang and Shi 2015 Energy Environ. Sci. 8 …

Nanopore technology is widely used for sequencing DNA, RNA, and peptides with single-
molecule resolution, for fingerprinting single proteins, and for detecting metabolites …

Convection heat transfer is assessed for laminarly flowing liquid water through graphene
nanochannels via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The use of MD simulations allows …

When a fluid flows in a very small surface separation, the very thin boundary layer physically
adhering to the solid surface will participate in the flow, while between the two boundary …

The flow factor approach model was re-visited for the fluid flow in a nano slit pore. According
to this model, the velocity profiles of the Couette and Poiseuille flows of a confined fluid were …

The method of molecular dynamics simulation is applied in order to study the behavior of
liquid Argon flow within oscillatory Couette flows, in both smooth and rough nanochannels …

The paper proposes a novel nano bearing formed by the physical adsorption of the confined
fluid to the solid wall. The bearing is formed between two parallel smooth solid plane walls …

When the continuum fluid film thickness is comparable with the thickness of the physical
adsorbed layer on the solid surface in a line contact, the boundary adsorbed layer will play …

In the hydrodynamic line contact, there is a very thin layer physically adsorbed to the solid
surface. When the surface separation is sufficiently small, the Hertzian contact zone will be …

Under microconfinement, the complex interaction between surface roughness and fluid
slippage yields unexpected variations in friction factor and drag reduction. These variations …
