    Abstract
    The nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations are performed to calculation the cross drag over a nanotube located in a uniform liquid argon flow. As is known, the behavior of fluid flows in nano-scale sizes is very different from that in microscopic and macroscopic sizes. In this work, our concern is on the flow of argon molecules over a nanotube which occurs in nanoscale sizes. We calculate the cross drag enforced the nanotube at Re<10. In this regard, we use the molecular dynamics and simulate the flow of argon molecules over (6,0), (8,0) and (10,0) nanotubes. The simulations are performed at different velocities and the cross drag coefficient is computed at different Reynolds...
