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.

Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) has, with only a few exceptions, been used to study hydrodynamic behavior of complex fluids without confinement. Previous studies used a periodic boundary condition, and only bulk behavior can be studied effectively. However, if solid walls play an important role in the problem to be studied, a no-slip boundary condition in DPD is required. Until now the methods used to impose a solid wall consisted of a frozen layer of particles. If the wall density is equal to the density of the simulated domain, slip phenomena are observed. To suppress this slip, the density of the wall has to be increased. We introduce a new method, which intrinsically imposes the no-slip boundary condition without the need to artificially increase the density in the wall. The method is tested in both a steady-state and an instationary calculation. If repulsion is applied in frozen particle methods, density distortions are observed. We propose a method to avoid these distortions. Finally, this method is tested against conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations for the flow in a lid-driven cavity. Excellent agreement between the two methods is found.

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.

In a Knudsen layer with thickness comparable to the mean free path, collisions between heat carriers and solid walls play an important role in nanoscale heat transports. An interesting question is that whether these collisions also induce the slip of heat flow similar to the velocity slip condition of the rarefied gases on solid walls. In this work based on the discrete Boltzmann transport equation, the slip boundary condition of heat flux on solid walls in the Knudsen layer is established. This result is exemplified by the slip boundary condition of heat flux in nanowires, which has been proposed in a phenomenological way.

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.

AbstractThe slip boundary condition can be a very useful relation when some specific problems of hydromechanics are considered. According to the classical form of this condition, the slip of a fluid with respect to the solid wall should occur even at a very low velocity of motion. However, both theoretical analysis and certain empirical data suggest that there must be a limit value of the wall shear stress, below which the slip does not occur. According to the simplified balance of adhesive and gravitational forces, a simple experimental method for determining this stress has been proposed and applied in this paper.
