  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>The paper focuses on the modeling of turbulent slip incompressible flow in a flat channel. Slippage on the channel wall can be caused by two reasons. The first reason is microchannels when the mean free path of molecules exceeds a certain value, which is characterized by the Knudsen number. The second reason is hydrophobic surfaces, which are used to reduce hydraulic resistance. Two models of turbulence were used to derive analytical solutions of fully developed flow. The first model is the Prandtl model (model of mixing length). The second model is the von Kármán model (model of similarity of pulsation velocities). Analytical models were built in a two-layer approximation: a laminar sublayer and a turbulent core. Both models showed a good agreement with the lattice Boltzmann method. An increase in the Knudsen number leads to an increase in the flow rate and a decrease in shear stress on the walls, which reduces the friction factor. This is due to the weakening of the interaction between the flow and the wall, which also leads to a decrease in the shear stress on the walls. As the Reynolds number increases, this effect becomes more noticeable.</jats:p>
