Abstract
It has previously been shown that the no-slip boundary condition leads to a singularity at a moving contact line and that this forces one to admit some form of slip. Present considerations on the energetics of slip due to shear stress lead to a yield stress boundary condition. A model for the distortion of the liquid state near solid boundaries gives a physical basis for this boundary condition. The yield stress condition is illustrated by an analysis of a slender drop rolling down an incline. That analysis provides a formula for the frictional drag resisting the drop movement. With the present boundary condition the length of the slip region becomes a property of the fluid flow.
