Book Synopsis Five Projects in Pattern Formation, Fluid Dynamics and Computational Neuroscience by : Alexander C. Roxin
Download or read book Five Projects in Pattern Formation, Fluid Dynamics and Computational Neuroscience written by Alexander C. Roxin. This book was released on 2003. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the third chapter the question of fluid slip at a solid interface is addressed at a molecular scale using methods from solid-state physics and nonlinear dynamics theory. We propose a modification of the well-known Frenkel-Kontorova model based on results from molecular dynamics simulations. The resulting dynamics explain the phenomenon of slip as the motion of defects in the fluid layer adjacent to the solid.
