Microflows and Nanoflows (eBook, PDF)

Fundamentals and Simulation

Beschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive summary of using computational tools to describe fluid flow in micro and nano configuration. This new version of the original book now covers length scales from Anstroms to microns (and beyond), as it contains many new developments and updated information throughout. The authors have maintained the emphasis on fundamental concepts with a mix of semianalytical, experimental and numerical results, and have outlined their relevance to modeling and analyzing functional devices. The material is divided into the three main categories of gas flows, liquid flows, and simulation techniques. It is appropriate for researchers in fluid mechanics interested in this new flow field as well as for electrical or mechanical engineers or physicists who need to incorporate flow modeling into their work.

Rezensionen

Reviews for original "Microflows and Nanoflows":

"For those who want to compute flows at the micro scale, this monograph is a must. It describes the state of the art and helps by providing coefficients, such as [are] needed in situations of slip. Those who wonder what new fluid dynamics there is in the microworld are served by the overview of theory and treasures of numerical methods." âEUR" European Journal of Mechanics B/Fluids

"It is a well-written book which should prove beneficial to the researchers in the field" Zentralblatt fur Mathematik

From the reviews:

"Microflows and nanoflows will become an important reference for any researcher interested in the fundamental science and simulation techniques

for flow in microchannels and nanopores. ... The new additions in the current book essentially render it the most fundamental book in the field of microfluidics and nanofluidics. ... I strongly recommend this book as a fundamental reference forthe multiscale simulation researchers and for the more fundamental reference theorists in the area of microfluidics and the new field of nanofluidics." (Hsueh-Chia Chang, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 c)

"The monograph under review presents a systematical presentation of all questions connected with fundamentals and simulation of microflows and nanoflows. ... The reviewed monograph is the first systematic fundamental presentation of the subject. It is suitable for graduate students and researches in fluid mechanics, physics and in electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering." (Peter A. Velmisov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1115 (17), 2007)
