Abstract

Determining the slip lengths for liquids flowing close to smooth walls is challenging. The reason lies in the fact that the scales that must be addressed range between a few and hundreds of nanometres. Several techniques have been used over the last few years. Here, we consider three of them based on surface force apparatus, diffusion and velocimetry, respectively. The descriptions offered here incorporate recent instrumental progress made in the field.
