Novel Review on Fluid Mechanics related to Nanostructures for the Applications in Space Technology

Abstract

Fluid mechanics is an essential part of space technology. For example, the principles of fluid mechanics are involved in the satellite launch vehicles like Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) and Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) fabricated by the Indian space research organisation (ISRO). The miniaturisation of fluidic devices will be helpful to be integrated with the nanostructures for the advancement of space technology. Limited amount of research work has been performed to establish the relation between fluid mechanics and nanostructures. In this regard, this review will be helpful to prepare a novel platform for modern space technology.
