Flow Tunneling Between Nanoconfined Liquids via Electronic Excitations

A predicted nanofluidic effect in which the flow of one confined liquid drives the flow of a second liquid across a separating solid wall - impossible in continuum hydrodynamics - mediated by the wall's collective electronic excitations, with a range tunable to a maximum when those excitations resonate with the liquid's charge-density fluctuations.

Momentum tunneling between nanoscale liquid flows Baptiste Coquinot1,2†, Anna T. Bui3,†, Damien

Predicts 'momentum (flow) tunneling' in nanofluidics: the flow of a confined liquid can drive the flow of a second liquid on the other side of a separating solid wall, an effect absent from continuum…
