No-slip condition

No-slip condition

The no slip condition is used almost universally in modeling of viscous flows. It is sometimes neglected in favor of the ‘no-penetration condition’ in elementary analyses of inviscid flow. The rate of movement of the contact line is believed to be dependent on the angle the contact lines makes with the solid boundary.

About No-slip condition in brief

Summary No-slip conditionIn fluid dynamics, the no-slip condition for viscous fluids assumes that at a solid boundary, the fluid will have zero velocity relative to the boundary. The no slip condition is used almost universally in modeling of viscous flows. It is sometimes neglected in favor of the ‘no-penetration condition’ in elementary analyses of inviscid flow, where the effect of boundary layers is neglected.

The rate of movement of the contact line is believed to be dependent on the angle the contact lines makes with the solid boundary.
