　　Through molecular dynamics simulations, we numerically demonstrate a nested nanochannel structure to work as a fluidic diode, which accepts water flows in the forward direction and blocks flows in the backward direction in a wide range of pressure drops.The flow rectification effects are caused by direction dependent activation pressures due to different flow mechanisms in the forward and backward directions.
