Simulation of fluid slip at 3D hydrophobic microchannel walls by the lattice Boltzmann method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fluid slip along hydrophobic microchannel walls has been observed experimentally by Tretheway and Meinhart [Phys. Fluids, 14 (3) (2002) L9]. In this paper, we show how fluid slip can be modeled by the lattice Boltzmann method and investigate a proposed mechanism for the apparent fluid slip [Phys. Fluids (2003)]. By applying an exponentially decaying hydrophobic repulsive force of 4 · 10 3 dyn/cm with a decay length of 6.5 nm, an effective fluid slip of 9% of the main stream velocity is obtained. The result is consistent with experimental l-PIV data and with the proposed mechanism. 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Abstract. In this paper, a Cascaded Lattice Boltzmann Method with second order slip boundary conditions is developed to study gas flows in a microchannel in the slip and transition flow regimes with a wide range of Knudsen numbers. For the first time the effect of wall confinement is considered on the effective mean free path of the gas molecules using a function with nonconstant Bosanquet para...

Substantial experimental, theoretical, as well as numerical effort has been invested to understand the effect of boundary slippage in microfluidic devices. However, even though such devices are becoming increasingly important in scientific, medical, and industrial applications, a satisfactory understanding of the phenomenon is still lacking. This is due to the extremely precise experiments need...
