✦ Synopsis

The traditional picture of fluid slip at boundaries as a manifestation of a mean free path effect has to be revised whenever the boundary acquires a finite curvature on mesoscopic length scales. Our results explain discrepancies between experimentally ob-~ served fluid flow and conventional slip theory.
