Abstract
Research on micro flow, especially on micro slip flow, is very important for designing and optimizing the micro electromechanical system (MEMS). In this Letter, similarity transformation for the Navier–Stokes equation for 2-dimensional steady slip flow in microchannels is given. We provide an analytical solution for the slip flow using a powerful, easy-to-use analytic technique for non-linear problems, that is, the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The analytical solution is presented in the form of an infinite series. The effects of the Knudsen number ( Kn) is discussed on the velocity profiles. It is found that the results are in excellent agreement with the existing results in the literature for the case of laminar developed flow.
