Question: 4 - ( 3 5 ) For flow of a viscous and incompressible fluid, the governing equations, i . e . the Conservation of Mass

4-(35) For flow of a viscous and incompressible fluid, the governing equations, i.e. the Conservation of Mass and the Conservation of Linear Momentum Equations are given below.
Note that grad is a vectoral operator and the bold symbols V and g are vectoral quantities velocity and the gravitational acceleration.
Continuity:
*V=0
Momentum:
dVdt=g-gradp+grad2V
(a) Write the open form of the continuity equation in 2-Dimensional x-y plane (5),
(b) Write the open forms of the Momentum Equation in x-y plane (x and y direction equations)(5),
(c) Simplify these equations for a steady, incompressible, unidirectional flow (i.e., u is the only nonzero velocity component; v=0)(5),
(d) For Couette flow without pressure gradient dpdx=0 between the plates shown in the figure above, determine the velocity distribution between the plates using the simplified equaitons in (c)(20),
(e) Sketch the velocity distribution (5).
The Mass and Linear Momentum Conservation Equations for a fixed control volume are:
CVdeldeltdV+CS(V*n)dA=0
dVdt=delVdelt+udelVdelx+vdelVdely+wdelVdelz,grad=deldelxhat(i)+deldelyhat(j)+deldelzhat(k),grad2=grad*grad=del2delx2+c2dely2+del2delz2
