Similarity Solutions of the Three Dimensional Boundary Layer Equations of a Class of General Non- Newtonian Fluids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Similarity analysis is made of the three dimensional incompressible laminar boundary layer flow of general class of non-Newtonian fluids. This work is an extension of previous analysis by Na and Hansen (1967), where the similarity solution of laminar three dimensional boundary layer equations of Power-law fluids was investigated. For the present flow situation, it is observed that the similarly solutions exist only for the case of flow over wedge. Further, it is also observed that for the more general case of the boundary layer flow of non-Newtonian fluids over anybody shapes yields non –similar solutions. Present similarity equations are well agreed with those available in literature.

متن کاملForced Convection Heat Transfer of Non-Newtonian Fluids Through Circular Ducts
The Galerkin finite element method is used to solve the three dimensional continuity, momentum and energy equations for laminar Newtonian and power-law model non-Newtonian flow through horizontal circular tube. The governing equations are non-dimensionalized with respect to specific variables and converted into algebraic equations using appropriate elements. To accelerate convergence a combinat...

متن کاملHidden Invariances in Problems of Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Wall Jets for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids
This work is devoted to the investigation of self-similar solutions for steady wall jets. The problem is considered in the context of twoand three-dimensional Prandtl boundary layer equations, and three-dimensional parabolized Navier–Stokes equations for Newtonian and nonNewtonian fluids. In contrast to dimensional analysis, which does not allow the determination of self-similar solutions in th...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of Reacting Laminar Flow Heat and Mass Transfer in Ducts of Arbitrary Cross-Sections for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids
This study is concerned with the numerical analysis, formulation, programming and computation of steady, 3D conservation equations of reacting laminar flow heat and mass transfer in ducts of arbitrary cross-sections. The non-orthogonal boundary-fitted coordinate transformation method is applied to the Cartesian form of overall-continuity, momenta, energy and species-continuity equations, parabo...
