The application of a temperature gradient along a fluid-solid interface generates stresses in the fluid causing "thermo-osmotic" flow. Much of the understanding of this phenomenon is based on Derjaguin's work relating thermo-osmotic flows…
Close to equilibrium, the kinetic coefficients of a thermodynamic system must satisfy a set of symmetry conditions, which follow from the Onsager-Casimir principle. Here, we show that, if a system of hydrodynamic equations is analysed from…
