“…However, there are still issues surrounding the correct implementation of non-equilibrium boundary conditions. To illustrate, we confine our attention here to models for calculating the slip-velocity to be imposed on hydrodynamic simulations of gas flows at solid bounding surfaces, although calculation of the temperature-jump at surfaces also requires careful consideration [11]. Copyright c 2011 by ASME While there has been recent interest in using a Langmuir adsorption model of the gas/surface interaction to retrieve rarefied flow boundary conditions [12,13], for flows of Kn > 0.001 Maxwell's phenomenological expression [14] remains the most often-used expression for the tangential slip-velocity, u slip :…”
