Abstract

When a fluid flows over a solid surface, its velocity usually goes to zero at the interface with the solid. But in some situations that can't happen — it would prevent a fluid from flowing along a glass into one's mouth, for example — so there must be some slip at the interface. A more general way for slip to occur has now been discovered, probably indicating that a given interface can only sustain so much stress.
