Nanoparticulate flows occur in a wide range of natural and engineering applications hence have received much attention. The purpose of the present paper is to provide a brief review on the research on the nanoparticulate flow in some aspects which consist of the method of moment for solving the particle population balance equation, penetration efficiency, pressure drop and heat transfer in the turbulent nanoparticulate pipe flow, fluctuating-lattice Boltzmann model for Brownian motion of nanoparticles.
