Abstract A viscous fluid is confined between two smooth horizontal walls, in a vertical channel. The upper wall may move with constant speed, but the lower stationary and portion of it heated. plume heated develops, also be swept downstream by motion wall. When heating effect small plate does not move, closed-form solution for temperature profile presented. numerical spectral method then presen...

A continuum mechanical model is presented to analyze the negative electrorheological responses of a particle-liquid mixture with the suspended micro-particles undergoing Quincke rotation for both Couette and Poiseuille flow geometries by combining particle electromechanics and continuum antisymmetric/couple stress analyses in the zero spin viscosity limit. We propose a phenomenological polariza...

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...

For movements of the viscous continuous flow in generalized Couette cell the dynamic system describing the central limiting variety is received.

Plane Couette flow and pressure-driven pipe flow are two examples of flows where turbulence sets in while the laminar profile is still linearly stable. Experiments and numerical studies have shown that the transition has features compatible with the formation of a strange saddle rather than an attractor. In particular, the transition depends sensitively on initial conditions and the turbulent s...

Spherical Couette flow involves fluid sheared between concentric coaxially rotating spheres. Its scientific relevance lies not only in the simplicity of the system but also in its applicability to astrophysical objects such as atmospheres, oceans, and planetary cores. One common behavior in all rotating flows, including spherical Couette flow, is the presence of inertial modes, which are linear...
