For several centuries fluid dynamics studies have relied upon the assumption that when a
liquid flows over a solid surface, the liquid molecules adjacent to the solid are stationary …

This review is focused on molecular momentum transport at fluid-solid interfaces mainly
related to microfluidics and nanofluidics in micro-/nano-electro-mechanical systems …

The no-slip boundary condition at a solid-liquid interface is at the center of our
understanding of fluid mechanics. However, this condition is an assumption that cannot be …

We discuss how the wettability and roughness of a solid impacts its hydrodynamic
properties. We see in particular that hydrophobic slippage can be dramatically affected by …

In this study we investigate the correlation between the wetting, the contact angle, the
spreading, the surface energy and the surface tension for five types of DLC coatings (doped …

In a variety of applications, most notably microfluidics design, slip-based boundary
conditions have been sought to characterize fluid flow over patterned surfaces. We focus on …

Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to investigate the fluid wetting and
flow in nanochannels whose surfaces are structured by an array of nanoscale triangular …

Three different approaches were used in the present study to predict the influence of
roughness on laminar flow in microchannels. Experimental investigations were conducted …

The surface texture of materials plays a critical role in wettability, turbulence and transport
phenomena. In order to design surfaces for these applications, it is desirable to characterise …

Flow and transport in tubes with rough surfaces play an important role in a variety of
applications. Often the topology of such surfaces cannot be accurately described in all of its …
