In this paper, the slide film damping (SFD) of micro-scale oscillatory Couette flow has been researched by an effective multiple relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method (MRT-LBM). The validity and effectiveness of MRT-LBM for solving SFD have been verified through contrasting the velocity distribution between the upper plate and the substrate of MRT-LBM and the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) model. The impacts of the vibration frequency and gap of plates on the damping are discussed, and the result shows that the nonlinear character of velocity profiles is manifest and SFD increases substantially for a larger vibration frequency in the oscillatory gas flow; SFD reduces obviously with the gap increases. Consequently, the results further confirm the implementation of LBM in analysis of the non-equilibrium micro-scale gas flow.
