Kinetic Lattice Gas Models in Nanofluidics — •Carlo Dotti, Mihail Popescu, Andrea Gambassi, and Siegfried Dietrich — Max Planck Institut fuer Metallforschung, Stuttgart

While hydrodynamics is reasonably well understood at normal scales, it is not expected to work when one or more sizes of the liquid film are comparable to the atomic size. In those cases the discrete character of both the liquid and substrate is expected to play a crucial role, requiring fundamentally different theoretical description for both the equilibrium and the non-equilibrium situation. Understanding the dynamics of nano-fluidics is crucial to build reliable micro and nano-devices which can be useful in various industrial and scientific applications. My main goal is to investigate nano-fluidics phenomena, focusing on non-equilibrium aspects, employing both analytical and numerical techniques.
