MHB Fluid Dynamics in Action: (Mechanics)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the analysis of viscous fluid flow between two rigid boundaries, with one boundary moving at a constant speed and the other at rest. The flow is identified as plane Couette flow, which is characterized by the velocity profile created by the moving boundary. Participants reference a specific resource for further understanding of the topic, emphasizing the importance of the boundary conditions. The problem highlights the need to consider the orientation of the moving and stationary plates. This exchange provides clarity on the mechanics of fluid dynamics in this specific scenario.

Viscous fluid flows between two rigid boundaries at y=0, y=h, the lower boundary moving in the x direction with constant speed U. The upper boundary is at rest. The boundaries are porous and the vertical velocity is V (constant) at each one. Find the resulting flow.

If I am not mistaken, you are looking for plane Couette flow!

Have a look at
http://www.maths.manchester.ac.uk/~dabrahams/MATH45111/files/lecture11.pdf (first three pages)

Note that in your problem, the moving plate and the one at rest, are the other way around!

Hope this helps!

Kindest regards
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
