Numerical Simulation of Nanoscale Flow: A Molecular Dynamics Study of Drag

The design of pathogen biosensors may soon incorporate beads having a nanoscale diameter, thus making the drag force on a nanoscale sphere an important engineering problem. Flows at this small of a scale begin to appear â grainyâ and may not always behave as a continuous fluid. Molecular dynami...
