Abstract: We review some recent results in the theory of Lattice Boltzmann Equation applied in micro and nano channel flows. With a suitable generalization of the Shan-Chan model, we are able to relate in a systematic and self consistent way, the model parameters with the contact angle. Comparison with Molecular Dynamics simulations show remarkable agreement.
