Abstract
We study the boundary conditions at a fluid-solid interface using molecular dynamics simulations covering a broad range of fluid-solid interactions an d fluid densities and both simple and chain-molecule fluids. The slip lengt h is shown to be independent of the type of flow, but rather is related to the fluid organization near the solid, as governed by the fluid-solid molec ular interactions.
