The no-slip condition for a mixture of two liquids

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

When a mixture of two viscous liquids flows past a solid wall there is an ambiguity in the use of the no-slip boundary condition. It is not obvious whether the mass-averaged velocity, the volume-averaged velocity, the individual species velocities, all or none of the above, or none of the above should exhibit no-slip. Extensive molecular dynamics simulations of the Poiseuille flow of mixtures of coexisting liquid species past an atomistic wall indicate that the velocity of each individual liquid species satisfies the no-slip condition and, therefore, so do mass and volume averages.
