At these scales, liquid flows may in fact exhibit quantum … 15 Feb 2023 15:30 to 17:00 Event Lydéric Bocquet Flow, from hydrodynamic slip to quantum friction Lecture At nanometric scales, surface effects obviously become predominant. Wall friction effects play a key role, impacting all transport processes - fluid, ionic, etc. They originate in molecular friction at the interface between the fluid, e.g. water, and the … 15 Feb 2023 14:00 to 15:30 Event Laurence Plazenet Handwriting pathologies in the classical age Seminar Abstract Seventeenth-century authors say almost nothing about their own writing practice or their conception of their work, even though it was during this period that the advent of the author took place.
