Abstract
We present a local boundary condition for partial slip in lattice
Boltzmann simulations. The effect of the boundary is modelled
mesoscopically as a friction force which acts in the parallel
direction of the flow at the boundary. Using a functional approach to
the equilibrium distribution function the mapping from the
hydrodynamic fields to the lattice Boltzmann populations can be
implemented strictly locally. On the macroscopic level this boundary
condition corresponds to the concept of a slip length. In our
approach, the latter can be tuned with a single input parameter for
the simulation. The boundary condition is used to simulate Poiseuille
flow through a channel and the results are compared with theoretical
predictions.
