Boundary conditions at a fluid - solid interface

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v1 Soft Condensed Matter

Abstract

We study the boundary conditions at a fluid-solid interface using molecular dynamics simulations covering a broad range of fluid-solid interactions and fluid densities, and both simple and chain-molecule fluids. The slip length is shown to be independent of the type of flow, but rather is related to the fluid organization near the solid, as governed by the fluid-solid molecular interactions.
