This short course will start with a consideration of the fundamentals of intermolecular forces and proceed to a consideration of where continuum assumptions are valid and where they are not. Scaling phenomena will be discussed, i.e. the importance of surface tension and dominance of drag, in continuous flows. The breakdown of continuum behavior will then be discussed and the utility of computational simulations outlined. A short introduction to electrokinetics will be provided. Then experimental techniques suitable for micro/nano flows will be presented. Finally aero-based examples will be discussed.

The short course will encompass issues ranging from nanotechnolgy to microsystems technologies (MEMS).

FEMLAB is a finite element software used to model applications in all fields of engineering and science. Based on MATLAB it is used to model coupled systems of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations. All FEMLAB models can be saved as M-files and manipulated in the MATLAB environment. Since it is equation-based, you can define and couple your PDEs freely and arbitrarily - true Multiphysics in 1D, 2D and 3D.

Be part of this seminar and see how FEMLAB can be implemented to your modeling needs. You are free to ask questions during the demonstration, influence the modeling process and discuss how FEMLAB would be applicable to your work. In particular we will look at:

• Fuel cells
• MEMS
• Microfluidic flow
• Electropherosis
• Piezoelectrics

Special Issue of Molecular Simulation

Special Issue of Molecular Simulation, a Taylor and Francis publication.

Aims and Scope of Molecular Simulation:
An international, multidisciplinary, academic journal Molecular Simulation covers all aspects of research related to, or of importance to, molecular modelling and simulation (including informatics, theoretical and experimental work). Molecular Simulation exists to bring togetherthe most significant papers concerned with applications of simulation methods, and original contributions to the development of simulation methodology from biology and biochemistry, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials, medicine, physics and information science. The aim is to provide a forum in which cross fertilization between application areas, methodologies, disciplines, as well as academic and industrial researchers can take place and new developments can be encouraged. Molecular Simulation is of interest to all researchers using or developing simulation methods (for example those based on statistical mechanics) and to those experimentalists, theorists and information scientists who wish to use simulation data or address a simulation audience.
