Abstract: We discuss recent progress in modeling transport phenomena occurring at the interface between a fluid and a solid. We consider canonical problems such as slip and its thermal counterpart, the Kapitza resistance, as well as flow across nanoporous materials in connection to recent interest in mixture separation by size-exclusion. We also discuss the effect of nanoconfinement on fluid properties, including recent progress in modeling the layering observed at the interface between a solid and a liquid. Particular emphasis is given to tractable models that do not require knowledge of non-readily accessible microscopic quantities.
