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
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
