Talk:No-slip condition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Justification
Obviously the no-slip condition is fairly accurate or we wouldn't use it in fluid dynamics. Still, I've never seen a physical justification. At that last layer of molecules, why are they necessarily bound to the solid? That implies that the bond strength between them and the solid is always stronger than the fluid to itself, which can't always be true, can it? I'd guess this comes down surface texture, but don't have any sources for this.―BenFrantzDale 23:19, 26 January 2006 (UTC).
