Micro and nano-fluidics concerns fluid dynamics occurring in
devices or flow configurations with minimum design length measured
in micrometers or smaller. The behavior of fluids at these scales
is quite different from that at the macroscopic level due to the
presence of surface tension effects, wetting phenomena, Brownian
diffusion and hydrodynamic interactions with immersed particles and
microstructures. These effects cannot be generally represented in a
classical homogeneous continuum framework. However, this triggers
the development of new tools to investigate and simulate problems
at the meso-scopic level.
This book contains a collection of works presented at the IUTAM
Symposium on Advances on Micro and Nano-fluidics held in Dresden in
2007. It covers several subjects of wide interest for micro and
nano-fluidics applications focusing on both, analytical and
numerical approaches. Topics covered in particular include
multi-scale particle methods for numerical simulations, liquid-wall
interactions and modeling approaches, modeling of immersed
nano-scale structures, organized flow behavior at micro and
nano-scales, and methods for control of micro- and nano-scale
flows.
