Abstract

The stability of an incompressible parallel flow with a linear wall slip – where the amount of wall slip is proportional to the velocity gradient – is analysed. Numerical computations are performed for microchannel flows in the slip-flow region. The wall slip causes short-wave instability while the slip-flow model is stable for long waves. This instability disappears once the slip wall condition is replaced by the no-slip condition.
