Nanoscale Hydrodynamics of Simple Systems

"Hydrodynamics describes uid dynamical properties like mass density, streaming velocity and energy [15]. Understanding and controlling uids has a long history [50], and despite the prex, hydrodynamics extends today beyond the study of water, and more generally to all uids. The de nition of a uid is ambiguous, but we here think of it in an intuitive manner as a material (or substance) that will easily ow when applying a force to it. Liquids and gasses are two usual examples of a uid"--
