Re: Turbulence in micro/nano flows


Here's a start. They are not exactly spot on from a general point of view,
but you should be able to start tracking down some good references.

Hello
I'm looking for references on turbulence in microflows/nanoflows (as in

flows through micro/nanochannels) for writing a review paper as part of

a course. I couldn't find many papers, which I suspect is primarily
because of the fact that turbulence is pretty much nonexistant in
microscales. I doubt if turbulence exist at all in nanoscales, if not
at microscales.

Can somebody provide me some ref about this topic?
