Abstract
By using molecular dynamics simulations we demonstrate that at high P\'eclet numbers a nanographene suspended in a shear flow aligns at a constant orientation angle, in contrast with the rotary motion predicted by Jeffery's theory. This instantaneous alignment with the flow of the nanographene is due to hydrodynamic slip at the fluid-particle interface, and produces a marked reduction in suspension viscosity compared to the no-slip case.
