ABSTRACT
Nanofluidics is a subject that studies the static and dynamic behaviors of simple or complex fluids in confined structures with at least one dimension below 100 nm (1 nm = 1 × 10−9 m). In terms of flow systems, the only difference between nanofluidics and the classic fluid mechanics is the size of the space available for a fluid flow. However, the small confinement in nanoscale flows can greatly affect the dynamics of a fluid and make nanofluidics quite different from the classic fluid mechanics.
