Poiseuille flow of molecular fluids

Abstract: We examine a generalised Navier-Stokes theory applicable to fluids composed of non-spherical molecules. We compare the theoretical predictions for flow velocity and viscosity with results obtained from nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations of a fluid undergoing gravity fed flow down a rectangular channel.
