Chapter 9, Problem 88P
Consider steady, incompressible, parallel, laminar flow falling between two infinite vertical walls (Fig. 9-88). The distance between the walls is h, and gravity acts in the negative z-direction (downward in the figure). There is no applied (forced) pressure driving the flow-the fluid falls by gravity alone. The pressure is constant everywhere in the flow field. Calculate the velocity field and sketch the velocity profile using appropriate nondimensionalized variable.
