Soft Matter and Complex Systems Seminar

Usually one requires a no-slip condition at the boundaries for the flow of a viscous fluid. For some boundaries such a condition has to be revised by introducing a proper slip velocity. This talk considers two such examples: the Smoluchowski slip condition for electrophoresis and the Navier slip condition for slipping surfaces. Numerical results for steady unbounded creeping flows about one or several solid body(ies) are obtained using a boundary approach.
