How Does Pressure Driven Flow Differ at the Nanoscale?
At the nanoscale, the behavior of fluids can differ significantly from their behavior in larger systems. This is due to the increased importance of surface forces, which can dominate over bulk forces. For instance, in nanoscale channels, the interaction between the fluid and the channel walls can lead to phenomena like slip flow, where the fluid velocity at the wall is not zero, unlike in macroscopic systems.
