[/yy] + [/zz] - ∂p/∂x = 0;

∂u/∂x = 0;

∂p/∂x = constant


i tried separation of variables ...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
μ[uyy + uzz] - ∂p/∂x = 0 ... (1)

∂u/∂x = 0 ;

now i assumed u(y,z) = Y(y)Z(z)

so (1) becomes ... μ[ZYyy + YZzz] - ∂p/∂x = 0

hence (1/Y)*Yyy + (1/Z)*Zzz = (R/YZ) = -λ2
where, R = (1/μ)*∂p/∂x

now Yyy + λ2Y = 0 ... can be solved easily but what about the remaining part ... i couldn't solve it due to the constant
