11. More microscopically, one may consider the Coulomb potential of an ion undergoing thermal diffusion, fluid advection, and reflection from the fluid-solid interface with aberration caused by the fluid velocity. Such an aberration, much like the shear, provides the unidirectional bias throughout the length of the nanotube.
