Simulation of fluid slip at 3D hydrophobic microchannel walls by the lattice Boltzmann meth(4)

Fluid slip along hydrophobic microchannel walls has been observed experimentally by Tretheway and Meinhart [Phys. Fluids, 14 (3) (2002) L9]. In this paper, we show how fluid slip can be modeled by the lattice Boltzmann method and investigate a proposed mec
