Abstract

This paper presents an overview of past and current research in computational modelling of micro- and nanofluidic systems with particular focus on recent advances in multiscale modelling. Different mesoscale and hybrid molecular-continuum methods are presented. The contributions of these methods to a broad range of applications, as well as the physical and computational modelling challenges associated with the development of these methods, are also discussed.
