unknown in PDE!

Hi,

I'm solving a problem which determines the flow between a porous material and an impermeable material, using the slip-flow boundary conditions as proposed by Beavers and Joseph in '67. I can solve the whole problem as stated below, which gives the velocity u of the fluid in the x-direction over the gap height (y-direction). However, in this equation I still have one unknown namely u_{B} which is the slip velocity. How can I write this u_{B} in function of the other variables so that this unknown disappear in my equation of u ? A hint can maybe be enough!

Poiseuille motion:

\frac{d^2u}{dy^2} = \frac{1}{\mu}\frac{dP}{dx}

boundary conditions:

1. u = 0 at y = h

2. \frac{du}{dy} = \frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{k}}u_{B} at y = 0

Solution of this PDE is:

u = \frac{1}{2\mu}\frac{dP}{dx}(y^2-h^2) + \frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{k}} u_{B} (y-h)

As far as I see it, there is an equation ##u'=c\cdot u_B## which you can insert into your solution. This gives you an ordinary differential equation ##F(y,u,u')=0##.
 
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...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
