Abstract
The structure and flow of water inside 75 and 150 nm-long carbon nanotubes with diameters ranging from 0.83 to 1.66 nm are examined using molecular dynamics simulation. The flow rate enhancement, defined as the ratio of the observed flow rate to that predicted from the no-slip Poiseuille relation, is calculated for each tube and the liquid structure is examined using an axial distribution function. The relationship between the intermolecular water structure and water flow is quantified and differences between continuum and subcontinuum flow are discussed.
