28. Simulations with flexible and fixed walls were shown to give similar results for the statics and friction of confined liquids; (10, 16, 19) flexibility increasing flow by a small (10-20%) and systematic amount. (13, 15)
29. Viscosity was measured independently in Couette flow simulations in the slab geometry. No significant change of viscosity has been measured for confinements larger than two water layers between the walls, confirming previous results. (2)
