Computational Nanofluidics

该项目将提高澳大利亚在新兴的纳米技术科学方面的技能和专业知识水平。为了实现纳米技术的前景，在纳米尺度上控制推进的手段是至关重要的。对纳米流体的更深入的了解，允许更大的预测能力，可以极大地帮助实现这一目标。计算纳米流体学很有可能在基于纳米技术的工业中发挥重要作用，就像计算流体动力学（CFD）在今天的制造业、汽车和航空航天工业中所起的作用一样。从这个项目中获得的技能和知识将提高我们在这一领域的国际竞争力。

This project will generate an increased level of skill and expertise in Australia in the emerging science of nanotechnology. To realise the promise of nanotechnology, a means of controlled propulsion on the nano scale is vital. A deeper understanding of nanofluidics that allows greater predictive capacities can greatly aid this realisation. It is highly likely that computational nanofluidics will play as important a role in nanotechnology based industries as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) currently plays in today's manufacturing, automotive and aerospace industries. The skills and knowledge gained from this project will enhance our international competitiveness in this area.
