Abstract

The phenomenon of gas dynamic slip associated with the flow of a monatomic, slightly rarefied gas over a rough surface is investigated. It is assumed that the characteristic dimensions of the roughness are comparable with the molecular mean free path. It is shown that if there is anisotropy of the surface shape the relation between the slip velocity and the friction stress vector becomes tensorial. In this case for almost any orientation of the gas dynamic flow the so-called cross slip effect is observed. The symmetry of the slip coefficient matrix is proved for fairly general assumptions concerning the type of roughness, the law of reflection of molecules from the surface, and the law of intermolecular interaction. The components of the slip coefficient matrix are calculated by a variational method for a corrugated model of the roughness.
