Explanation of Solution
According to the data given in question for an incompressible Newtonian laminar flow fluid with no free surface. The unknown quantity present in the Stokes flow equation are u, v and P.
The corresponding equation for the given flow condition is continuity of Navier-Stokes equation. The other equation is: -
- X- component of Navier-Stokes equation
- Y-component of Navier-Stokes equation
Navier-Stokes equation in Cartesian co-ordinate system is given as:
x-component:
y-component of Navier-Stokes equation:
z-component:
Now,
During, non-dimensionalization a modified pressure is introduced. This helps in absorbing the hydrostatic pressure. It is defined as:
Here,
P is pressure,
P′ is modified pressure
Z is the vertical direction vector
When these equations are combined with appropriate boundary condition the problem can be solved.

- An incompressible Newtonian liquid is confined between two concentric circular cylinders of infinite length— a solid inner cylinder of radius Ri and a hollow, stationary outer cylinder of radius Ro. The inner cylinder be stationary and the outer cylinder rotate at angular velocity ?o. Generate an exact solution for u?(r) using the step-by-step . The flow is steady, laminar, and two-dimensional in the r?-plane. The flow is also rotationally symmetric, meaning that nothing is a function of coordinate ? (u? and P are functions of radius r only). The flow is also circular, meaning that velocity component ur = 0 everywhere.

The belt has rectangular cross-section and has length (L), width into the paper (W). The belt picks up a film of oil of thickness h, density ρ, and dynamic viscosity μ. Gravity g tends to make the oil drain down, but the movement of the belt keeps the fluid from running off completely. Assume fully developed, steady, laminar, incompressible and two-dimensional flow of oil to answer the following questions. Assume that no pressure gradient is needed in the vertical direction to drive the film flow. Also assume that the shear stress at the air-oil interface is zero (free shear condition).
