Chapter 1The Vortex

McCormack, Percival

Pages: 1 –65

[The first notable works on fluid motions appeared in the early seventeenth century. Descartes in his “Principia Philosophiae” (1644) considered that space was filled with frictional vortices, so that the planets are carried along by the vortex motions. Vortices had fascinated mankind for many...

Chapter 2Vorticity (Molecular Spin)

McCormack, Percival

Pages: 67 –100

[The curl of the fluid velocity vector 7is known as the vorticity or, physically, the angular velocity at a point in space (see [1, p. 68]). It has also been called Rotationgeschwindigkeit by Helmholtz, rotation by Kelvin, molecular rotation by Kelvin, and spin by Clifford.]

Chapter 3The Nanoboundary Layer and Nanovortex Core

McCormack, Percival

Pages: 101 –117

[In this chapter, nanoscale fluid flow regions with intense vorticity will be considered – (1) the nanoboundary layer within 100 nm of a solid surface over which fluid is flowing and (2) the nanovortex core within 100 nm of the vortex center. In such regions, the kinetic theory of fluids must be...

Chapter 4Nanoduct Fluid Flow

McCormack, Percival

Pages: 119 –136

[Nanoducts are unique in that fluid moving through them has intense vorticity, or molecular spin. In such regions of fluid flow, the molecular theory of fluids must be used to model the flow region and the physical properties of the fluid. Such properties change significantly in the presence of...
