Funded Activity Summary

Simulation studies of stick and slip at the solid-liquid boundary. Successful practical application of computational rheology to polymer processing, to adhesion and to the understanding of lubrication at very high shear rates, among other problems, needs both an adequate description of the fluid - a constitutive equation - and the prescription of proper boundary conditions.The constitutive model problem has been extensively studied, and this proposal seeks to address the question of proper boundary conditions for viscoelastic flow at interfaces between a flowing fluid and a solid surface. This vital area has not been thoroughly studied theoretically and computationally, and we seek to clarify the mechanisms by using molecular dynamics.
