“…Another molecular dynamics simulation resulted in the occurrence of velocity slip at the solid-fluid interface of nanometer film at relatively low speed of shear [7], and the subsequent research indicated that the slip among the layers of laminar nanometer film always exits no matter what the velocity is [8]. Furthermore, the statistical simulation was also presented for analyzing the near-continuous flows with separation [9]. More researches have been carried out to determine the general boundary condition for liquid flow near solid surface, especially for the fluid flow in nanometer or micron channels [10,11].…”

The thin fluid film was assumed to consist of a number of spherical fluid molecular groups and the attractive forces of molecular group pairs were calculated by the derived equation according to the three Hamaker homogeneous material hypotheses. Regarding each molecular group as a dynamics individual, the simulation method for the shearing motion of multilayer fluid molecular groups, which was initiated by two moving walls, was proposed based on the Verlet velocity iterative algorithm. The simulations reveal that the velocities of fluid molecular groups change about their respective mean velocities within a narrow range in steady state. It is also found that the velocity slips occur at the wall boundary and in a certain number of fluid film layers close to the wall. Because the dimension of molecular group and the number of group layers are not restricted, the hypothetical thickness of fluid film model can be enlarged from nanometer to micron by using the proposed simulation method.
