On the fluid slip along a solid surface

Fluid Dynamics 2023-05-25 v2

Abstract

It is commonly assumed that fluid cannot slip along a solid surface. The experimental evidence generally supports this assumption. We demonstrate that when the change of the relative velocity of a fluid and a solid wall is sufficiently rapid, the slip does occur; the fluid is unable to adjust if acceleration is large enough, and it slips. We use droplet impact on a moving surface to demonstrate and estimate the slip length. We also estimate fluid acceleration, which is required to cause an observable slip.
