Abstract
We investigate the influence of correlation between water molecules transport through the neighbouring nanopores, whose centres are at a distance of only 6.2 Å, using the molecular dynamics simulations. Water molecule distribution in nanopore and average water flow are obtained. It is found that the average water molecule number and water flow are slightly different between a system made of the neighbouring nanopores and a system of a single pore. This indicates that transport of water chains in neighbouring pores do no show significant influence each other. These findings should be helpful in designing efficient artificial membrane made of nanopores and providing an insight into effects of the biological channel structure on the water permeation.
