We investigate the statistical properties of single phase slip events observed in vortex nucleation experiments in He by the groups in Berkeley and Paris. From the cumulative distribution function of the events we calculate the slip rate as a function of flow velocity. The critical velocity is defined as the mean velocity and its statistical width as the standard deviation. From the slip rate a...

[1] We investigate the behavior of simulated slow slip events using a rate and state friction model that is steady state velocity weakening at low slip speeds but velocity strengthening at high slip speeds. Our simulations are on a one-dimensional (line) fault, but we modify the elastic interactions to mimic the elongate geometry frequently observed in slow slip events. Simulations exhibit a nu...

In this paper, a simplified model of an incompressible fluid flow along with heat and mass transfer past a porous flat plate embedded in a Darcy type porous medium is investigated. The velocity, thermal and mass slip conditions are utilized that has not been discussed in the literature before. The similarity transformations are used to transform the governing partial differential equations (PDE...

We present a model describing friction due to the thermally activated formation and rupture of molecular bonds between two surfaces, with long molecules on one surface attaching to discrete or continuous binding sites on the other. The physical assumptions underlying this model are formalized using a continuum approximation resulting in a class of master-equation-like partial differential equat...

Abstract—This paper presents a study on the effect of second-order slip on forced convection through a long isoflux heated or cooled planar microchannel. The fully developed solutions of flow and thermal fields are analytically obtained on the basis of the second-order Maxwell-Burnett slip and local heat flux boundary conditions. Results reveal that when the average flow velocity increases or t...

The boundary layer flow of Cu-water based nanofluid with heat transfer over a stretching sheet is numerically studied. Second order velocity slip flow model is considered instead of no-slip at the boundary. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary one using similarity transformation, before being solved numerically. Numerical solutions of these equations are ob...

Gas flow through nanoscale conduits shows distinctly different physics compared to flow at the macroscale. One of the first manifestations of this is the appearance of wall slip. Here we consider the oscillatory flow of an incompressible Newtonian gas through a circular nanotube, with first order wall slip due to rarefaction. It was found that the major effect of wall slip at lower oscillation ...

Directly tracing the spatiotemporal dynamics of intermittent plasticity at the micro- and nanoscale reveals that the obtained slip dynamics are independent of applied stress over a range of up to ∼400 MPa, as well as being independent of plastic strain. Whilst this insensitivity to applied stress is unexpected for dislocation plasticity, the stress integrated statistical properties of both the ...

Effect of surface topology and energy on slip velocity of high-density polyethylenes (HDPEs) was studied using treated and non-treated smooth and patterned slit dies. In order to examine the effect of surface roughness, laser ablation method was utilized to micro/nano-pattern the surface of dies. Moreover, effect of surface energy on slip was investigated by applying fluoroalkyl silane-based co...

We report on an experimental study of heterogeneous slip instabilities generated during stick-slip motions at a contact interface between a smooth rubber substrate and a patterned glass lens. Using a sol-gel process, the glass lens is patterned with a lattice of parallel ridges (wavelength, 1.6 μm, amplitude 0.35 μm). Friction experiments using this patterned surface result in the systematic oc...
