Abstract: Water transport through nanostructures, particularly nanotubes, is a critical area of study with significant implications for filtration, desalination, and energy-related applications. This research investigates the dynamics of water molecules within nanotubes, focusing on the mechanisms that enable ultrafast transport along the nanotube axis. By employing Monte Carlo simulations, the effects of key parameters such as lattice spacing, friction, and molecular interactions on water flux are systematically analyzed. Furthermore, a theoretical model is developed to elucidate the underlying principles of water flow, highlighting the role of molecular interactions and external periodic potentials in driving efficient transport. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of nanoscale water dynamics and offer valuable insights for optimizing nanotube-based systems in advanced technological applications.
