This paper introduces the fundamental continuum theory governing momentum transport in isotropic nanofluidic systems. The theory is an extension of the classical Navier-Stokes equation, and includes coupling between translational and rotational degrees of freedom as well as nonlocal response functions that incorporate spatial correlations. The continuum theory is compared with molecular dynamics simulation data for both relaxation processes and fluid flows, showing excellent agreement on the…

Challenges in Nanofluidics—Beyond Navier–Stokes at the Molecular Scale
The fluid dynamics of macroscopic and microscopic systems is well developed and has been extensively validated. Its extraordinary success makes it tempting to apply Navier–Stokes fluid dynamics…
Hydrodynamic relaxations in dissipative particle dynamics.
TLDR
The DPD model, at least qualitatively, re-captures the underlying hydrodynamical mechanisms, and quantitative agreement is excellent at intermediate temperatures for the transverse dynamics.
Where is the hydrodynamic limit?
ABSTRACT In this paper, the classical hydrodynamic theory is compared to molecular dynamics simulation data using two different dynamical modes, namely, the transverse and longitudinal modes. The…
A phenomenological continuum model for force-driven nano-channel liquid flows.
TLDR
A phenomenological continuum model is developed using systematic molecular dynamics simulations of force-driven liquid argon flows confined in gold nano-channels at a fixed thermodynamic state and excellent agreements between the model and the MD simulations are reported for channel heights as small as 3 nm for various liquid-solid pairs.
Prediction of fluid slip in cylindrical nanopores using equilibrium molecular simulations.
TLDR
The developed method enables us to calculate the interfacial friction coefficient directly from EMD simulations, while friction can be estimated using NEMD by performing simulations at various external driving forces, thereby increasing the overall computational time.
Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics: Theory, Algorithms and Applications
TLDR
This valuable text presents a wide range of topics within the growing field of nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) and introduces theories which are fundamental to the field and provides state-of-the-art algorithms and advice for designing reliable NEMD code.
Isomorphs in nanoconfined liquids
TLDR
This study provides an alternative framework for understanding nanoconfined liquids and shows good invariance along the isomorphs of inhomogenous density profiles, mean-square displacements, and higher-order structures probed using the topological cluster classification algorithm.
Generalized hydrodynamics of the Lennard-Jones liquid in view of hidden scale invariance
In recent years lines along which structure and dynamics are invariant to a good approximation, so-called isomorphs, have been identified in the thermodynamic phase diagrams of several model liquids…
Multiscale dipole relaxation in dielectric materials
Dipole relaxation from thermally induced perturbations is investigated on different length scales for dielectric materials. From the continuum dynamical equations for the polarisation, expressions…

Abstract 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…

Nanoflow hydrodynamics.
We show by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations that the Navier-Stokes equation does not correctly describe water flow in a nanoscale geometry. It is argued that this failure reflects the…
Thermal fluctuations in nanofluidic transport.
TLDR
It is shown that hydrodynamic fluctuations can lead to a strongly enhanced diffusion of particles confined in a nanopore, and the results are extended to account for the hydrod dynamic contribution to electrical noise in charged nanopores.
Nonlocal shear stress for homogeneous fluids.
TLDR
This Letter confirms that the postulate that the shear stress can be postulated to be a convolution of this nonlocal viscosity kernel with the strain rate over all space is correct by a combination of analytical and numerical methods for an atomic fluid out of equilibrium.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that nonlocality will be significant for any particular flow field if the even moments of the nonlocal viscosity kernel are non-negligible, and that such conditions are likely to be dominant for nanofluidic flows.
Statistical mechanics of viscous flow in nematic fluids
We derive Green–Kubo (GK) relations for the viscosity coefficients of nematic liquid crystals. These GK relations are similar to, but considerably more complicated than, those of an isotropic fluid.…
Nonlocal nature of the viscous transport in supercooled liquids: complex fluid approach to supercooled liquids.
TLDR
The fundamental importance of the growing dynamic correlation in anomalous transport is suggested and new light on the nature of slow dynamics is shed.
Local linear viscoelasticity of confined fluids.
TLDR
The method shows that the viscoelastic properties of the fluid exhibit dramatic spatial changes near the wall-fluid boundary due to the high density in this region and provides valuable information about the transport properties in the fluid, in general.

Electrohydraulic power conversion in planar nanochannels.
TLDR
