As the demand for miniaturization of thermal management systems for electronic devices
rises, numerous researchers are dedicating their efforts to the study of single-phase forced …

Slip length describes the classical no-slip boundary condition violation of Newtonian fluid
mechanics, where fluids glide on the solid surfaces. Here, we propose a new analytical …

Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations were conducted for solid-liquid-solid
systems with nanometer scale grooved surfaces and an induced heat flux for a wide range …

Fundamental understanding of solute transport behaviors in rock fractures is of great
importance to many hydrogeological processes. The fate of fluid-borne solutes is inherently …

Abstract The Lucas− Washburn (LW) equation has been extensively used to predict the
imbibition length of capillary-driven flow. Using the hydraulic diameter for non-circular cross …

Optimizing the groove size of flat micro heat pipes is crucial for improving their thermal
performance. In this study, we developed a grooved converging microchannel array for use …

This study investigates the influence of porous walls on fluid flow behavior in single rough-
walled fractures. A series of direct numerical simulations (DNS) were conducted to examine …

A carbon nanotube (CNT) may facilitate near-frictionless water transport within it. In this
work, we elucidate the slip flow characteristics for a CNT embedded in a silicon nitride matrix …

Wettability on nano/microstructured surfaces is gaining remarkable interest for a wide range
of applications; however, little is known about the effective wetting area of the solid–liquid …

An analysis has been made to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of electro-osmotic
flow (EOF) in a non-uniform micro-channel whose walls are varying sinusoidally. The EOF is …
