In this Letter, the two-dimensional dense flow of polygonal particles on an incline with a flat frictional inferior boundary is analyzed by means of contact dynamics discrete element simulations, in order to develop boundary conditions for continuum models of dense granular flows. We show the evidence that the global slip phenomenon deviates significantly from simple sliding: a finite slip velocity is generally found for shear forces lower than the sliding threshold for particle-wall contacts. We determined simple scaling laws for the dependence of the slip velocity on shear rate, normal and shear stresses, and material parameters. The importance of a correct determination of the slip at the base of the incline, which is crucial for the calculation of flow rates, is discussed in relation to natural flows.
