文摘

Drag of nanotube is investigated in different domain sizes, flow velocities and nanotube rotational speeds. Rotation of carbon nanotube caused drag force to reduce in almost all conditions and up to maximum 31%. At low inlet flow velocities, drag force reduces with nanotube rotational speed with a high rate of reduction. At high inlet flow velocities, drag force reduces with nanotube rotational speed, but with a lower rate of reduction. Rotational speed of carbon nanotube causes the atom density in the back of that to increase more than in front.
