p micro and nano fluidics concerns fluid dynamics occurring in devices or flow configurations with minimum design length measured in micrometers or smaller . the behavior of fluids at these scales is quite different from that at the macroscopic level due to the presence of surface tension effects wetting phenomena brownian diffusion and hydrodynamic interactions with immersed particles and microstructures . these effects can not be generally represented in a classical homogeneous continuum framework . however this triggers the development of new tools to investigate and simulate problems at the meso scopic level . p this book contains a collection of works presented at the iutam symposium on advances on micro and nano fluidics held in dresden in 2007 . it covers several subjects of wide interest for micro and nano fluidics applications focusing on both analytical and numerical approaches . topics covered in particular include multi scale particle methods for numerical simulations liquid wall interactions and modeling approaches modeling of immersed nano scale structures organized flow behavior at micro and nano scales and methods for control of micro and nano scale flows .
