FIGURE 4.17 Profile of the radial velocity of water in carbon nanotubes.

As seen from the results of the calculations, the velocity value varies slightly
along the radius of the nanotube. Such a velocity distribution of the fluid particles
can be explained by the lack of friction between the molecules of the liquid and
the wall due to the presence of an empty layer. This leads to an easy slippage of
the liquid and, consequently, anomalous increase in flow compared to the Poi-
seuille flow.
