Abstract

In this study we investigate steady, pressure-driven, two-dimensional flow of Newtonian fluid through slip-patterned, rectangular channels in the low Reynolds number limit. The slip flow regime is modeled using the Navier's slip boundary condition. In this work, we present only in-phase patterned slip. Subsequently, based on the characteristic length of the patterning, we have considered two subcases, namely large and fine patterned slip. Boundary element method (BEM) is used to numerically solve Stokes equation and obtain the streamline profiles. Streamlines, velocity profiles, pressure gradients, and shear stresses are analyzed to gain a proper understanding of the flow mechanics.
