It is generally accepted that the effective velocity of a viscous flow over a porous bed satisfies the Beavers-Joseph slip law. To the contrary, in the case of a forced infiltration of a viscous fluid into a porous medium the interface law…

The Navier boundary condition for velocity slip on flat surfaces, when expressed in tensor form, is readily extended to surfaces of any shape. We test this assertion using molecular dynamics simulations of flow in channels with flat and…
We consider shear-driven longitudinal flow of an exterior fluid over a periodic array of rectangular grooves filled with an immiscible interior fluid (the "lubricant"), the grooves being formed by infinitely thin ridges protruding from a…
The traditional approach in the study of hydrodynamic stability of stratified fluids includes the stick boundary conditions between layers. However, this rule may be violated in polymer systems and as a consequence various instabilities may…
Surface roughness becomes relevant if typical length scales of the system are comparable to the scale of the variations as it is the case in microfluidic setups. Here, an apparent boundary slip is often detected which can have its origin in…

We study the near-the-interface behavior of a compact convex scalar curvature flow with a flat side. Under suitable initial conditions on the flat side, we show that the interface propagates with a finite and non-degenerate speed until the…
The yielding behavior of a sheared Laponite suspension is investigated within a 1 mm gap under two different boundary conditions. No-slip conditions, ensured by using rough walls, lead to shear localization as already reported in various…
Owing to the multiscale nature and the consequent high computational cost associated with simulations of flows over rough surfaces, effective models are being developed as a practical means of dealing with such flows. Existing effective…
Hydrophobic textured surfaces are studied for their low wettability and their capacity to create a 'slippery' fluid on the surface during lubrication. To this end, the flow between two parallel surfaces is numerically addressed by computing…
We derive general conditions of slip of a fluid on the boundary. Under these conditions the velocity of the fluid on the immovable boundary is a function of the normal and tangential components of the force acting on the surface of the…
Using the phenol-terminated polycarbonate blend as an example, we demonstrate that the hydrodynamic boundary conditions for a flow of an adsorbing polymer melt are extremely sensitive to the structure of the epitaxial layer. Under shear,…
Using the observation that slip in simple fluids at low and moderate shear rates is a thermally activated process driven by the shear stress in the fluid close to the solid boundary, we develop a molecular-kinetic model for simple fluid…
This paper investigates the properties of a three dimensional shear flow overpassing a hemispherical droplet resting on a plane wall. The exact solution is computed as a function of the viscosity ratio between the droplet and the…
Using a dynamic Surface Force Apparatus, we demonstrate that the notion of slip length used to describe the boundary flow of simple liquids, is not appropriate for viscoelastic liquids. Rather, the appropriate description lies in the…
The conventional boundary conditions at the interface between two flowing liquids include continuity of the tangential velocity. We have tested this assumption with molecular dynamics simulations of Couette and Poiseuille flows of…

Wall modelling in large-eddy simulation (LES) is necessary to overcome the prohibitive near-wall resolution requirements in high-Reynolds-number turbulent flows. Most existing wall models rely on assumptions about the state of the boundary…
