Iutam Symposium on Advances in Micro- And Nanofluidics: Proceedings of the Iutam Symposium on Advances in Micro- And Nanofluidics, Dresden, Germany, SMicro and nano fluidics concerns fluid dynamics occurring in devices or flow configurations with minimum design length measured in micrometers or smaller. The behavior of fluids at these scales is quite different from that at the macroscopic level due to the presence of surface tension effects, wetting phenomena, Brownian diffusion and hydrodynamic interactions with immersed particles and microstructures. These effects cannot be generally represented
