Navier Slip Condition for Viscous Fluids on a Rough Boundary
February 17, 2017
3-4 PM, 646A PGH
Abstract
In this talk, using homogenization methods and boundary layer techniques, I will derive asymptotically the effective Navier slip boundary condition, as a first-order corrector, to the no-slip condition on the interface between a fluid and a rough surface. The method used provides a formula to calculate the slip length for various geometries. I will also show some computations done, using FreeFem++, which agree with experimental data.
