Boundary streaming with Navier boundary condition

Abstract

In microfluidic applications involving high-frequency acoustic waves over a solid boundary, the Stokes boundary-layer thickness δ\delta is so small that some non-negligible slip may occur at the fluid-solid interface. This paper assesses the impact of the slip by revisiting the classical problem of steady acoustic streaming over a flat boundary with the Navier boundary condition uy=0=Lsyuy=0u|_{y=0} = L_\mathrm{s} \partial_y u|_{y=0}, where uu is the velocity tangent to the boundary y=0y=0, and the parameter LsL_\mathrm{s} is the slip length. The limit outside the boundary layer provide an effective slip velocity. A general expression is obtained for the streaming velocity outside the boundary layer as a function of the dimensionless parameter Ls/δL_\mathrm{s}/\delta. Particularising to travelling and standing waves shows that the boundary slip respectively increases and decreases the streaming velocity.
