Abstract
General boundary conditions for smectic shear flows are derived and their consequences examined. At low frequencies, a new stationary solution is found that exists concurrently with second-sound. At higher frequencies, these two solutions turn diffusive. Experimental implications are studied. Modified impedance, velocity slip, and a "Josephson effect" are predicted.Keywords
