The behavior of simple fluids in microfractures

Description

The behavior of fluids in molecularly narrow microfractures (vicinal fluids) differs from that of their bulk-phase counterparts. The differences are especially dramatic when the fractures are lass than 10 fluid molecular diameters in width. The behavior of fluids in these ultrathink fractures is poorly understood. This talk discusses recent efforts to begin to understand these fluids on the molecular and continuum scales. 9 refs., 2 figs
