Stokes' flow, also known as creeping flow, refers to the motion of a viscous fluid at low Reynolds numbers, where inertial forces are negligible compared to viscous forces. This type of flow is crucial in the context of nanofluidic separation, as it allows for precise manipulation and transport of nanoscale particles or biomolecules in confined environments, enabling efficient separation techniques.
congrats on reading the definition of Stokes' Flow. now let's actually learn it.
