A theoretical model is proposed to study fluid dynamics in microchannels under pulsatile external forcing. This incorporates the fluid/wall interaction considering that a rough interface consists of an array parallel nanometric channels coupled with bulk flow generated main microfluidic channel. Consequently, technique developed compute exact analytical solution. solution fundamental for multiscale involved between adjacent flows confining dimensions and properties differ by orders magnitude. particularly relevant case confined water, as recent evidence suggests confinement-dependent viscoelastic behavior. Under these conditions, considerable slippage predicted at nanoconfined water larger confinements. finding understood terms propagation elastic waves are propagated magnified microchannel. Finally, stability robustness all ranges channel relaxation times exploited carry out comprehensive exploration key physical conditions determine arising persistence anomalous due size-dependent viscoelasticity.
