极端受限流动的实验表征方法研究进展

Probing transport in Angstrom-scale confinement: A review of experimental approaches

  • 摘要: 极端受限空间中的流动与物质输运现象是近年来流体力学向极端小尺度延伸的前沿方向之一。当管道结构的特征尺寸降低至纳米甚至亚纳米量级时,流动输运现象展现出与宏观流体截然不同的特性,甚至连续性假设是否适用也未可知。然而,极端受限流动的尺寸极小、流动极微弱,其流动输运的定量表征测量仍面临显著的挑战。本文梳理了近年来用于表征极端受限流动的主要实验方法及其代表性结果。按照测量方式,将相关实验技术划分为质量测量法、光学成像法、电测量法以及光谱法等四类实验手段,通过阐释各类实验研究方法的基本原理、可提取的观测量及讨论各个方法的优劣,对不同方法获得的实验结果进行了对比与讨论。为进一步发展极端受限流动测量技术提供参考。

     

    Abstract: Flow and mass transport processes in Angstrom-scale confined spaces have emerged as a forefront area of study in fluid mechanics. As the critical size of a channel decreases to sub-nanometer or approaches the molecular scale, the transport behaviors deviate from those observed in macroscopic fluids, where the continuum assumption may no longer apply. A significant problem is the absence of experimental characterization of flows and transport phenomena at such small sizes. This paper summarizes the principal experimental methodologies for investigating fluxes and transport within confinement. We categorize the experimental methods into four distinct types: weight-change measurements, optical imaging, electrical measurements, and spectroscopies. We succinctly present the foundational principles and examine the merits and limitations of each experimental approach. Our work serves as a reference for the subsequent advancement of measuring procedures for transport in extremely confined spaces.
