Influence of the Key Factors on the Wall Slip Phenomenon in Micro Flow

Abstract:

Aimed at the wall slip phenomenon of micro flow, the wall slip boundary condition was added to simulate the process of the micro flow by Polyflow based on the traditional flow analysis method. The effect of the wall slip on the micro flow was verified by comparing the pressure difference data obtained from the simulation with the quoted test data. In addition, based on the Generalized Navier’s slip law, the shear stress and slip coefficient were researched by the numerical simulation analyses to find out the influence of the key factors on the phenomenon of wall slip. The results show that the phenomenon of wall slip is an important factor that cannot be ignored in the micro flow. And only under the high shear stress, the wall slip phenomenon will have an obvious influence on the micro flow. Along with the decrease of the slip coefficient, the wall slip phenomenon becomes more apparent and the micro flow tends to be stable.
