Microflows and Nanoflows: Fundamentals and Simulation

by George E.M. Karniadakis, Ali Beskok, Narayan Aluru

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...

Customer Reviews

Perfect..quick shipped

The Book "Microflows and Nanoflows: Fundamentals and Simulation " is very helpful to review the fundamental of flow due to electrokinetics. It was shipped very quickly... I recommend to buy this book if you really need to review the topics of electrokinetics. Thanks.

An excellent book on Micro and Nanoscale flows

I believe this is an excellent reference for anyone interested in the field of microfluidics and nanofluidics. When I got the first edition, I was always thinking that the addition of a few chapters on nanoscale fluid flows would make this book a comprehensive monograph for people who have background in conventional fluid mechanics and want to understand the micron and submicron fluid flows phenomena. The authors have done this in the new edition "current edition". It is a well-organized book that makes it easy for reader, especially for graduate students who want to start their research in MEMS and NEMS and for professors who are looking for a reference for their course. The book covers all aspects of micro and nanoflows in terms of their characteristics, scaling effects, and methodologies and approaches that can be used for modified continuum and molecular simulations.

The Book on MicroFlows

I was fortunate enough to be given a chance to read the manuscript of this book about a year before it was published. I was looking for a source of general information on fluid issues in MEMS in order to acquaint myself with the subject. Even though many research papers are out there, the new reader to the field needs to be given a solid starting point. Being a well-written research monograph, this is that solid starting point for those who have a grasp of traditional fluid mechanics and want to enhance that understanding for research into MEMS devices and flows encountered at micron scale and below.Now that the book is printed, I used it as the main source of reading for an Indep. Study course for a graduate student who started his PhD studies recently.The book also provides a wealth of references that will assist the reader to get a deeper understanding of the specific subject.

Review of Microflows

This is an excellent book and I recommend this to any one interested in microfluidics, MEMS or nanotechnology. To my knowledge, this is the first book on microfluidics. The chapters on gas flows, electrokinetically driven liquid flows and on numerical methods for continuum and atomistic simulation are very interesting.
