Abstract
This paper is concerned with uniform axial flow of a gas along a semi-infinite microcylinder in the slip regime. Following Glauert and Lighthill (Proc R Soc 230A:188–203, 1955), the effect of slip on the skin friction is investigated by employing an asymptotic series approach for large axial distances along the cylinder.
