Abstract
The paper is devoted to the study of the reasons of anomalous transport observation in the experiments with microchannels. Usually, retardation of such transport is associated with the interaction of solute particles with channel walls. In the present paper, we have shown that the viscous interaction of the flow and solid wall can be the reason for the anomalous transport observation. It was illustrated on a specific example of a passive solute transport through the channel. The effect of diffusion on such transport was investigated numerically. The power law decline of concentration with respect to time was obtained in a wide range of parameters.
