Question: The first Stokes problem is defined as one that describes the abrupt movement at constant speed of a flat plate in an incompressible Newtonian fluid

The first Stokes problem is defined as one that describes the abrupt movement at constant speed of a flat plate in an incompressible Newtonian fluid (transient Couette without pressure gradient in the direction of motion). Consider a fluid at rest on a horizontal flat plate before movement. At the instant t=0 the plate begins to move at a constant velocity U. Assume that the fluid has a kinematic viscosity v. El induced flow in the fluid is only caused by viscous stresses. a) Simplify the Navier-Stokes equations for this case. b) Approach the mathematical model by means of the finite difference method. c) Clear the ratio for the value of velocity at an arbitrary point of the fluid at time t+1.
