Pipe flow with periodic pressure variation. Verify the result for the velocity profile in the complex domain.

Question:

Pipe flow with periodic pressure variation. Verify the result for the velocity profile in the complex domain. Write MATLAB code to find the real and imaginary parts. Use this code to plot the velocity profile for various values of \(W o\) as a function of position and time. Also derive an expression for the volumetric flow rate. Plot this as a function of time and also superimpose on the plot the pressure variation with time. Show that there is a phase lag between pressure and flow for high values of \(W o\).
