How to Use This Calculator

Enter nanopore diameter (nm) and pore length (nm) for your membrane or synthetic nanopore.
Set the applied pressure difference (Pa) and solution viscosity (mPa·s).
Enter slip length (nm) — positive values indicate hydrophobic pore walls that enhance flow.
Review volumetric flow rate (m³/s and fL/s), average velocity (m/s), slip enhancement factor, and Reynolds number.
Reynolds numbers well below 1 confirm laminar Hagen-Poiseuille flow is valid for this calculation.
