Question: Two fluid layers are located between two parallel plates. The upper layer, A , is a Newtonian fluid with a viscosity of 1 c p

Two fluid layers are located between two parallel plates. The upper layer, A, is a Newtonian fluid with a viscosity of 1cp. The lower fluid B has rheological properties described by the following equation:
(0)-1=(C)12
where = viscosity of the fluid, = shear stress, 0= limiting viscosity =9cp
C= characteristic stress =1 dynes ?cm2
The lower plate is held fixed and a stress of 4 dynes ?cm2 is placed on the upper plate. What is the steady-state velocity of the upper plate?
Note: There is no pressure gradient in this system and the flow is perpendicular to the gravity direction.
