The factors affecting slip length in Couette geometry flows are analysed by means of a two-phase mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann model including non-ideal fluid-fluid and fluid-wall interactions.The main factors influencing the boundary slip are the strength of interactions between fluid-fluid and fluid-wall particles.Other factors,such as fluid viscosity,bulk pressure may also change the slip length.We find that boundary slip only occurs under a certain density(bulk pressure).If the density is large enough,the slip length will tend to zero.In our simulations,a low density layer near the wall does not need to be postulated a priori but emerges naturally from the underlying non-ideal mesoscopic dynamics.It is the low density layer that induces the boundary slip.The results may be helpful to understand recent experimental observations on the slippage of micro flows.
