Tutorial 1 (Sept. 24) Tips To Solving Questions:: (Constant Density) and Is Not Driven by A Pressure Gradient

1) Solve differential equations and find particular and general solutions. State assumptions. 2) Find velocity profiles and expressions for fluid between two infinite horizontal plates with different plate motions. Sketch profiles. 3) Find velocity expression, location of maximum velocity, and sketch profile for fluid between plates where top plate moves and bottom is stationary, with additional pressure gradient driving flow.

Tutorial 1 (Sept.

24th)

Tips to Solving Questions:

1. State your assumptions

Questions:

1) Solve the following differential equations


a. Find the particular solution where 𝑎𝑎 and 𝑏𝑏 are constants:
𝑑𝑑 2 𝑥𝑥
− 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 − 𝑏𝑏 = 0 ; B.C: 𝑥𝑥(0) = 0, 𝑥𝑥(𝑏𝑏) = 𝑎𝑎
𝑑𝑑𝑦𝑦 2
b. Find the general solution where 𝑎𝑎 is a constant
𝑑𝑑2 𝑥𝑥
+ sin(𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎) = 0
𝑑𝑑𝑦𝑦 2
2) A fluid of density ρ and viscosity μ exists between two infinite horizontal plates with
separation h. The flow unidirectional in x, steady state, incompressible 𝑈𝑈𝑜𝑜
(constant density) and is not driven by a pressure gradient.
a. The bottom plate is stationary while the top plate moves in the g
positive x direction with velocity Uo. Find (i) the expression for the
𝑈𝑈𝑜𝑜
velocity of the fluid (ANS: 𝑢𝑢 = 𝑦𝑦), and (ii) sketch the velocity

profile.

b. The top plate moves in the positive x direction with velocity Uo, and
the bottom plate moves in the negative x direction with velocity Vo.
