Question: 3 - A unidirectional, steady flow i . e . u = u ( y ) ; v = 0 with pressure gradient d p

3- A unidirectional, steady flow i.e.u=u(y);v=0 with pressure gradient dpdx0 between two parallel
plates a distance H apart, as in the figure below, is to be determined. The viscous liquid is of constant density
and viscosity . The lower plate is fixed while the upper plate is moving with constant velocity U.
(a) In the below, show simplification of the Continuity Equation with the given flow conditions,
(b) Show simplifications of the x and y scalar components of the Navier Stokes equations, with the given
flow conditions and also considering the continuity equation,
(c) Solve the resulting x equation for the velocity profile u(y), and sketch it in the figure below.
Continuity:
grad*V=0
Momentum:
dVdt=g-gradp+grad2V
Continuity Equation grad*vec(V)=0=>delvdelx+delvdely+delwdelz=0
Navior-Stokes Equation:
x component 2udelt+udeludelx+vdeludely+w2udelz=g-delpdelx+(delvdelx2+del2udely2+del2udelz2)
g component delvdelt+udelvdelx+vdelv2dely+wdelvdelz=-delpdely+(del2vdelx2+del2vdely2+del2vdelz2)
