Miniaturization increases surface to volume ratio:

importance of surface phenomena

The description of flows requires constitutive equation (bulk property of fluid) + boundary condition (surface property)

We saw that N.S. equation for simple liquids is very robust constitutive equation down to (some) molecular scale.

What about boundary condition ?

Interpretation of the slip length

From Lauga & al, Handbook of Experimental Fluid Dynamics, 2005

b

The bc is an interface property. The slip length has not to be related to an internal scale in the fluid

The hydrodynamic b.c. is fully characterized by b()

The hydrodynamic bc is linear if the slip length does not depend on the shear rate.

On a mathematically smooth surface, b=∞ (perfect slip).

Some properties of the slip length

No-slip bc (b=0) is associated to very large liquid-solid friction

Theory for intrinsic b.c. on smooth surfaces : summary

substantial slips in strongly non-wetting systems slip length increases with c.a. slip length decreases with increasing pressure

no-slip in wetting systems (except very high shear rate < 108 s-1 )

slip length is moderate (~ 5 nm at )

slip length does not depend on fluid viscosity (≠ polymers)

non-linear slip develops at high shear rate (~ 109 s-1 )
