(15) What is the velocity profile of the following flow, and the Steady flow
x
-direction velocity component only
(v=w=0)
2D flow a. because
u
can vary in the
x
and
y
(if not fully developed) b. Plates are infinite in the Z-direction c. No variation in fluid properties in Z-direction Fully developed flow
:(delu)/(delx)=0
Gravity only in one direction Pressure gradient in the
x
-direction:
(delp)/(delx)=0
Negligible body force assumptions given below:
