OuestionA marks
The flow of a layer of viscous fluid is induced between a fixed lower plate and an upper plate moving at constant velocity Vas shown in Figure QAa The clearance between plates is h The fluid is Newtonian and the fluid flow is in the steady state. Assume the fluid does not slip at either plate. If the plates are infinitely large, the z and y component of fluid velocity can be assumed to be zero. The fluid can only flow in the x direction, and the fluid velocity u is only a function of y The fluid flow is fully developed and the dynamic viscosity of the fluid is mu Assume the fluid flow is laminar. y is at the inner surface of the lower plate.
a Derive the mathematical expressions for the velocity profile of fluid, ie u as a function of y by using V h and mu as input parameters.
b Schematically sketch the expected fluid velocity profile uy between the plates.
Extend the problem to a case of two layers of different immiscible viscous Newtonian fluids flowing between a fixed lower plate and an upper plate moving steadily at velocity V as shown in Figure QAb The dynamic viscosity of the two different fluids is mu and mu respectively. The layer thickness of the two different fluids h and h are unequal. The fluid velocity and the fluid shear stress at the interface between the two different fluids are continuous, ie uu and tautau at the interfluid interface.
c Derive the mathematical expressions for the velocity profile of fluid and the velocity profile of fluid quad as a function of y by using V h and h and mu and mu as input parameters.
