This course gives an introduction into Nano fluidics, considering fundamental aspects, intrinsic length scales and geometry. A number of different selected topics in the field of Nano fluidics are discussed, such as:
- basic fluid dynamics for micro- and Nano channels
- solid-liquid interfaces (interactions, adsorption/desorption)
- electric double layer theory
- hydrodynamics at small scales (laminar flow, slip versus no-slip, mixing)
- 3-phase systems (capillary forces, wetting, super hydrophobicity)
- electro kinetic effects (electroosmotic pumping, electro viscous effect)
- electrophoresis and separation techniques
- (Nano)colloidal particles and colloidal assembly
