On the Navier boundary condition for viscous fluids in rough domains

Abstract

In this paper we review some recent results concerning the study of the asymptotic behavior of viscous fluids in rough domains assuming Navier boundary conditions on the rough boundary. Our main interest is to study the relation between both the adherence and the Navier boundary conditions in the case of a boundary with weak rugosities. We show that the roughness acts on the fluid as a friction term. In particular, if the roughness is sufficiently strong, Navier condition implies adherence condition. This generalizes previous results of other authors.
