ME 681 Micro- & Nanoscale Fluid Mechanics
This graduate level course that presents the physics of fluid transport in micro- and nanoscale liquid-phase systems, with the consideration of gas bubbles, solid particles, and macromolecules. The course brings together fluid mechanics, electrodynamics, interfacial chemistry and electrochemistry with a focus on continuum fluid mechanical systems with micro- and nanofabricated devices. Students will do class projects to demonstrate his/her mastery of concepts and analysis of a selected microfluidic device or system with practical applications.
