Water transport through (7,7) carbon nanotubes of different lengths using molecular dynamics
The key finding of this paper is that increasing nanotube length barely affects pressure drop, elucidating the physical mechanisms for the non-intuitive experimental results of Majumder et. Al,. DoI:10.1038/43844a. The paper presents novel non-periodic molecular dynamics boundary conditions developed to generate realistic pressure-driven flows, and controllers for fluid properties.
