On the Effectiveness of Porosity on Unsteady Couette Flow and Heat Transfer between Parallel Porous Plates with Exponential Decaying Pressure Gradient
نویسنده
چکیده
The unsteady Couette flow through a porous medium of a viscous, incompressible fluid bounded by two parallel porous plates is studied with heat transfer. A uniform suction and injection are applied perpendicular to the plates while the fluid motion is subjected to an exponential decaying pressure gradient. The two plates are kept at different but constant temperatures while the viscous dissipation is included in the energy equation. The effect of the porosity and the uniform suction and injection on both the velocity and temperature distributions is examined.

A numerical model is developed to simulate the transport phenomena in the flow channel between parallel plates with porous and non-porous (or impermeable) walls. The continuity and momentum equations were solved first, assuming the wall Reynolds number in the range of with the suction or injection of air at a speed equal to the uniform inlet velocity.

The aim of the present study is deriving an analytical solution to incompressible thermal flow in a micro-Couette geometry in the presence of a pressure gradient using Burnett equations with first- and second-order slip boundary conditions. The lower plate of the micro-Couette structure is stationary, whereas the upper plate moves at a constant velocity. Non-dimensional axial velocity and tempe...
