When water is confined between hydrophobic surfaces, its flow properties are significantly different from those in bulk, or between hydrophilic surfaces. These changes (that are usually ignored) may be interpreted in terms of hydrophobic slippage. This chapter reviews recent developments in the hydrodynamics of water confined between solid hydrophobic surfaces, emphasizing the main experimental facts, theoretical models suggested, and different aspects of thin film drainage. The relevance of slippage in hydrophobic surface force measurements and on the coagulation rate of hydrophobic particles is discussed.
