We report a large amount of experimental data on the stress overshoot phenomenon which takes place during start-up shear flows in a simple yield stress fluid, namely a carbopol microgel. A combination of classical rheological measurements and ultrasonic velocimetry makes it possible to get physical insights on the transient dynamics of both the stress σ(t) and the velocity field across the gap of a rough cylindrical Couette cell during the start-up of shear under an applied shear rate . (i) At small strains (γ w. Finally, by changing the boundary conditions from rough to smooth, we show that there exists a critical shear rate s fixed by the wall surface roughness below which slip at both walls allows for faster stress relaxation and for stress fluctuations strongly reminiscent of stick-slip. Interestingly, the value of s is observed to coincide with the shear rate below which the flow curve displays a kink attributed to wall slip.
