Wall laws for fluid flows at a boundary with random roughness

Abstract

The general concern of this paper is the effect of rough boundaries on fluids. We consider a stationary flow, governed by incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, in an infinite domain bounded by two horizontal rough plates. The roughness is modeled by a spatially homogeneous random field, with characteristic size \eps\eps. A mathematical analysis of the flow for small \eps\eps is performed. The Navier's wall law is rigorously deduced from this analysis.
