Two large flat plates are inclined at an angle B with
respect to the horizontal as shown below. The lower
plate is fixed while the top plate moves to the left at the
speed U Two parallel fluid layers fill the space between
the plates. The lower fluid has a density p and viscosity
m and the upper fluid has a density p and viscosity m
The flow is incompressible, steady, twodimensional,
and parallel. It is known that the pressure gradient in
the x direction is zero.
a write out the appropriate continuity and NS equations, list your approximations and cross out terms using the following code: Ssteady, CContinuity, Hxyz Homogeneity with direction, Dtwo dimensional
b write the approximate boundary condintions at the bottom wall, the interface and the top wall, use pref for refrence pressure
c solve the equations for velocity and pressure in the two fluids
d find the expression for the upper plate velocity at which the velocity at the interface between the two fluids is
Hint: consider the flow of the two liquids as two functions u and u in respective domains
