We describe a tensorial generalization of the Navier slip boundary condition and illustrate its use in solving for flows around anisotropic textured surfaces. Tensorial slip can be derived from molecular or microstructural theories or simply postulated as a constitutive relation, subject to certain general constraints on the interfacial mobility. The power of the tensor formalism is to capture complicated effects of surface anisotropy, while preserving a simple fluid domain. This is demonstrated by exact solutions for laminar shear flow and pressure-driven flow between parallel plates of arbitrary and different textures. From such solutions, the effects of rotating a texture follow from simple matrix algebra. Our results may be useful for extracting local slip tensors from global measurements, such as the permeability of a textured channel or the force required to move a patterned surface, in experiments or simulations.

We investigate the dewetting of a droplet on a smooth horizontal solid surface for different slip lengths and equilibrium contact angles. Specifically, we solve for the axisymmetric Stokes flow using the boundary element method with (i) the Navier-slip boundary condition at the solid/liquid boundary and (ii) a time-independent equilibrium contact angle at the contact line. When decreasing the rescaled slip length $\tilde{b}$ with respect to the initial central height of the droplet, the typical non-sphericity of a droplet first increases, reaches a maximum at a characteristic rescaled slip length $\tilde{b}_{m}\approx O(0.1{-}1)$ and then decreases. Regarding different equilibrium contact angles, two universal rescalings are proposed to describe the behaviour of the non-sphericity for rescaled slip lengths larger or smaller than $\tilde{b}_{m}$. Around $\tilde{b}_{m}$, the early time evolution of the profiles at the rim can be described by similarity solutions. The results are explained in terms of the structure of the flow field governed by different dissipation channels: elongational flows for $\tilde{b}\gg \tilde{b}_{m}$, friction at the substrate for $\tilde{b}\approx \tilde{b}_{m}$ and shear flows for $\tilde{b}\ll \tilde{b}_{m}$. Following the changes between these dominant dissipation mechanisms, our study indicates a crossover to the quasistatic regime when $\tilde{b}$ is many orders of magnitude smaller than $\tilde{b}_{m}$.

The planar flow of a Newtonian incompressible fluid in a T-shaped channel is investigated. Three fluid interaction models with solid walls are considered: no slip boundary condition, Navier slip boundary condition and slip boundary condition with slip yield stress. The fluid flow is provided by uniform pressure profiles at the boundary sections of the channel. The problem is numerically solved using a finite difference method based on the SIMPLE procedure. Characteristic flow regimes have been found for the described models of liquid interaction with solid walls. The estimation of the influence of the Reynolds number, pressure applied to the boundary sections and the parameters of these models on the flow pattern was performed. The criterial dependences describing main characteristics of the flow under conditions of the present work have been demonstrated.

In micro or nano flows a slip boundary condition is often needed to account for the special flow situation that occurs at this level of refinement. A common model used in the Finite Volume Method (FVM) is the Navier-Slip model which is based on the velocity gradient at the wall. It can be implemented very easily for a Navier-Stokes (NS) Solver. Instead of directly solving the Navier-Stokes equations, the Lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) models the fluid on a particle basis. It models the streaming and interaction of particles statistically. The pressure and the velocity can be calculated at every time step from the current particle distribution functions. The resulting fields are solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. Boundary conditions in LBM always not only have to define values for the macroscopic variables but also for the particle distribution function. Therefore a slip model cannot be implemented in the same way as in a FVM-NS solver. An additional problem is the structure of the grid. Curved boundaries or boundaries that are non-parallel to the grid have to be approximated by a stair-like step profile. While this is no problem for no-slip boundaries, any other velocity boundary condition such as a slip condition is difficult to implement. In this paper we will present two different implementations of slip boundary conditions for the Lattice-Boltzmann approach. One will be an implementation that takes advantage of the microscopic nature of the method as it works on a particle basis. The other one is based on the Navier-Slip model. We will compare their applicability for different amounts of slip and different shapes of walls relative to the numerical grid. We will also show what limits the slip rate and give an outlook of how this can be avoided.

The sharp-interface limits of a phase-field model with a generalized Navier slip boundary condition for binary fluids with moving contact lines are studied by asymptotic analysis and numerical simulations. The effects of the mobility number as well as a phenomenological relaxation parameter on the boundary condition are considered. In asymptotic analysis, we consider both the cases that the mobility number is proportional to the Cahn number and the square of the Cahn number, and derive the sharp-interface limits for several set-ups of the boundary relaxation parameter. It is shown that the sharp-interface limit of the phase-field model is the standard two-phase incompressible Navier–Stokes equations coupled with several different slip boundary conditions. Numerical results are consistent with the analysis results and also illustrate the different convergence rates of the sharp-interface limits for different scalings of the two parameters.

We study the effect of surface roughness and coatings on fluid flow over a solid surface. In the limit of small-amplitude roughness and thin lubricating films we are able to derive asymptotically an effective slip boundary condition to replace the no-slip condition over the surface. When the film is absent, the result is a Navier slip condition in which the slip coefficient equals the average amplitude of the roughness. When a layer of a second fluid covers the surface and acts as a lubricating film, the slip coefficient contains a term which is proportional to the viscosity ratio of the two fluids and which depends on the dynamic interaction between the film and the fluid. Limiting cases are identified in which the film dynamics can be decoupled from the outer flow.

In the energy stability theory, the critical Reynolds number is usually defined as the minimum of the first positive eigenvalue $R_{1}$ of an eigenvalue equation for all wavenumber pairs $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC},\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD})$, where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}$ are the streamwise and spanwise wavenumbers of the normal mode. We prove that $(\cos \unicode[STIX]{x1D703}\pm 1)R_{1}$ are decreasing functions of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D703}=\arctan (\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}/\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC})$ for the parallel flows between no-slip or slip parallel plates with or without variations in temperature. Numerical results inspire us to conjecture that $R_{1}$ is also a decreasing function of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D703}$ for the parallel shear flows under the no-slip boundary condition and without variations in temperature. If the conjecture is correct, the least stable normal modes for the energy stability will be streamwise vortices for these base flows.
