Nano-Scale Fluid Mechanics: A Review

  1. Subhadeep Mukhopadhyay ✉

Abstract

This review article is mainly focused on microfluidics and nanofluidics. Nanofluidics is the subject to realise any nano-scale fluid mechanics governed inside the selected nanochannel. The surface-driven microfluidic flow of dyed water is experimentally demonstrated corresponding to one SU-8 based glass microfluidic device fabricated by maskless lithography and indirect bonding technique. This brief review may be helpful to establish the nanofluidic flow phenomena in future.
