Book excerpt: The investigation into the behavior of the fluids in nanoscale channels, such as carbon nanotubes leads us to a new approach in the field of nanoscience. This is referred to as nano-fluidics, which can be used in nano-scale filtering and as nano-pipes for conveying fluids. The behavior of fluids in nano-fluidic devices is very different from the corresponding behavior in microscopic and macroscopic channels. In this study, we investigate the fluid flow through carbon nanotubes and graphene based nanostructures using a molecular dynamics (MD) method at a constant temperature.Three different models were created which contain single-walled carbon nanotube, graphene, and a combination of both. Liquid argon is used as fluid in the system. In the previous investigations, they were considered bombarding the atoms towards the carbon nanotubes like bullets from a gun, and due to the interactions, they lost most of their momentum. Thus, the chance for the atoms to pass through the carbon nanotube was very low. Here, we employed a new approach using a moving graphene wall to push the argon fluid towards the confinements of the systems. By performing this method, we have tried to make a continuum flow to find out how the physical quantities such as, position, velocity, pressure, and energy change when the fluid flow reaches the confinements of the systems.
