This is an individual project. The project requires simple computation, you can use Matlab to solve the problem. Show the steps clearly. In the figure (example problem from Chapter 4), consider a non-steady state process or flow between two parallel plates (water at room temperature). The velocity in x direction is both a function of distance, y and time t. Navier-Stokes equation for the velocity will be: delu/delt =(del^2u/dely^2) Where, is density of water and is viscosity of water. The upper plate is suddenly put on a motion with velocity V =2.5 m/s. The distance between two plates is 10 cm (h =5 cm). The initial and boundary conditions will be:Initial condition: at t =0; u =0 for all y Boundary condition 1: at y =-h; u =0 for all t Boundary condition 2: at y = h; u = V for all t Solve and plot u as a function of both y and t. Show that after a long time the process approaches steady-state. [Use finite difference method to solve the problem as analytical solution is very complex for this problem]
