Hydrodynamic boundary conditions solid surface

Polymers can be confined one-dimensionally by an impenetrable surface besides the more familiar confinements of higher dimensions. Introduction of a planar surface to a bulk polymer breaks the translational symmetry and produces a pol-ymer/wall interface. Interfacial chain behavior of polymer solutions has been extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically [1-6]. In contrast, polymer melt/solid interfaces are one of the least understood subjects in polymer science. Many recent interfacial studies have begun to investigate effects of surface confinement on chain mobility and glass transition [7], Melt adsorption on and desorption off a solid surface pertain to dispersion and preparation of filled polymers containing a great deal of particle/matrix interfaces [8], The state of chain adsorption also determine the hydrodynamic boundary condition (HBC) at the interface between an extruded melt and wall of an extrusion die, where the HBC can directly influence the flow behavior in polymer processing. 

The following treatment, adapted from the work of Van Oene et al. is used to illustrate the assumptions and general conclusions of the surface chemical approach in which the no slip condition is ignored the hydrodynamic boundary condition that for a liquid moving over a solid surface there can be no motion of the liquid immediately adjacent to the liquid/solid interface. The work of Van Oene is similar to that of Schon-horn et al. and at the end of this section we will compare the results of the two investigations. 

The surface boundary conditions are critical to modeling electrokinetic phenomena in nanofluidics. For the hydrodynamic boundary condition, we use the nonslip model at the silica surfaces. Although the slip boundaries have been adopted and have shown significant effects to improve the energy-conversirai efficiency, a careful molecular study showed that the hydro-dynamic boundary conditirm, slip or not, depended on the molecular interactions between fluid and solid and the channel size. For the dilute solution in silica nanochannels considered in this work(/x 2 nm), the nonslip boundary condition is still valid very well. 

Young equation. This has remained an unsolved theoretical problem for a long time because of the apparent contradiction between the advancing motion of the contact line and the no slip hydrodynamic boundary condition for the liquid at the solid surface this paradox is solved by a rolling motion of the spreading liquid on the solid surface. ... 

One of the unsolved questions is still the hydrodynamic boundary condition on solid surfaces. It is not clear to which extent slip occurs and which conditions and parameters it depends on. For fluid interfaces, the tangential velocities change continuously and the tangential stresses are balanced. Trace amounts of surfactants lead to an effective no-slip boundary condition due to a Marangoni effect. 

Although the diffusion layer model is the most commonly used, various alterations have been proposed. The current views of the diffusion layer model are based on the so-called effective diffusion boundary layer, the structure of which is heavily dependent on the hydrodynamic conditions, fn this context, Levich [102] developed the convection-diffusion theory and showed that the transfer of the solid to the solution is controlled by a combination of liquid flow and diffusion. In other words, both diffusion and convection contribute to the transfer of drug from the solid surface into the bulk solution, ft should be emphasized that this observation applies even under moderate conditions of stirring. 

ZoandaAy lubAd.catd.on is a familiar term in the vocabulary of the tribologist. In the general concept of the boundary lubricated condition, the lubricant film between the two surfaces is no longer a liquid layer instead the surfaces are separated by films of only molecular dimensions. Friction is influenced by the nature of the underlying surface and by the chemical constitution of the lubricant films. This view of lubricating action at the solid surface was introduced by Sir W. B. Hardy [1] as an extension of Osborne Reynolds concept that hydrodynamic action within the liquid film is a process treated by continuum methods which are not applicable at the discontinuity or "boundary" between liquid and solid. 

The kinematics and dynamics boundary conditions at the interfaces close the hydrodynamic problem (l)-(2). On the solid-liquid boundary the non-slip boundary conditions are applied -the liquid velocity close to the particle boundary is equal to the velocity of particle motion. In the case of pure liquid phases the non-slip boundary condition is replaced by the dynamic boundary condition. The tangential hydrodynamic forces of the contiguous bulk phases, nx(P+Pb) n, are equal from both sides of the interface, where n is the unit normal of the mathematical dividing surface. The capillary pressure compensates the difference between the... 

However, there exist specific situations where the role of surfaces is not limited to providing a boundary condition for hydrodynamics. For instance in the phenomenon associated with the entry of a solid body into a liquid, the surface wetting properties determine, in addition to the BC, the way the liquid connects to the solid to form the contact line. These kinds of situations are encountered in many civil or military applications, such as ship slamming, air to sea weapons, or all industrial... 

Extrapolating continuous description of fluid motion to a molecular scale might be conceptually difficult but unavoidable as far as interfacial dynamics is concerned. Long-range intermolec-ular interactions, such as London-van der Waals forces, still operate on a mesoscopic scale where continuous theory is justified, but they should be bounded by an inner cut-off d of atomic dimensions. Thus, distinguishing the first molecular layer from the bulk fluid becomes necessary even in equilibrium theory. In dynamic theory, the transport in the first molecular layer can be described by Eq. (60), whereas the bulk fluid obeys hydrodynamic equations supplemented by the action of intermolecular forces. Equation (61) serves then as the boundary condition at the solid surface. Moreover, at the contact line, where the bulk fluid layer either terminates altogether or gives way to a monomolecular precursor film, the same slip condition defines the slip component of the flow pattern. 

However, an exact solution to the problem of convective diffusion to a solid surface requires first the solution of the hydrodynamic equations of motion of the fluid (the Navier-Stokes equations) for boundary conditions appropriate to the mainstream velocity of flow and the geometry of the system. This solution specifies the velocity of the flrrid at any point and at any time in both tube and yam assembly. It is then necessary to substitute the appropriate values for the local fluid velocities in the convective diffusion equation, which must be solved for boundary cortditiorts related to the shape of the package, the mainstream concentration of dye and the adsorptions at the solid surface. This is a very difficrrlt procedure even for steady flow through a package of simple shape. " ... 

To simulate the hydrodynamic interactions between solid particles in suspension, the LB model must be modified to incorporate the boundary conditions imposed on the fluid by the solid particles. The basic methodology is illustrated in Fig. 1. The solid particles are defined by a boundary surface, which can be of any size or shape in Fig. 1 it is a circle. When placed on the lattice, the boundary surface cuts some of the links between lattice nodes. The fluid particles moving along these Unks interact... 

To understand hydrodynamic interactions, the boundary conditions need to be known. In contrast to solid surfaces, liquid-fluid interfaces are mobile. For a mobile interface between two fluid phase A and B, the no-slip boundary condition translates into = V . In particular in a direction tangential to a liquid-fluid interface, the velocities at both sides of the interface must be the same [702-705] ...
