Description
The onset of slip motion at fluid-solid boundaries is investigated as a function of the reflectivity of the solid wall by means of a mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann model. Substantial slip flow is observed for reflectivity values below a critical threshold. It is shown that this slip flow may significantly affect the conversion efficiency of catalytic microchannels
