Abstract: Fluid flow in a nanotube, caused by a moving soliton-like perturbation of its wall, is considered. We use a crystallite model for nanotube flow. A picture of the flow is described. The formula for crystallite velocity is derived, allowing one to find fluid flux through a nanotube.

Keywords: nanotube, soliton, flow.
