Abstract

This paper is to indicate a class of new exact solutions of the equations governing the two-dimensional steady motion of incompressible fluid of variable viscosity in the presence of body force. The class consists of the stream function $\psi$ characterized by equation $\theta=f(r)+ a \psi + b $ in polar coordinates $r$, $\theta$ , where a continuously differentiable function is $f(r)$ and $a\neq 0 , b $ are constants. The exact solutions are determined for given one component of the body force, for both the cases when $f(r)$ is arbitrary and when it is not. When $f(r)$ is arbitrary, we find $a=1$ and we can construct an infinite set of streamlines and the velocity components, viscosity function, generalized energy function and temperature distribution for the cases when $R_{e}P_{r}=1$ and when $R_{e}P_{r}\neq 1$ where $R_{e}$ represents Reynolds number and $P_{r}$Prandtl number. For the case when $f(r)$ is not arbitrary we can find solutions for the cases $R_{e}P_{r}\neq a$ and $R_{e}P_{r}=a$ where $"a"$ remains arbitrary.Â

Highlights

  • A moving fluid element experiences forces, directly on its volumetric mass as well as on its surface, named body forces and surface forces respectively

  • This paper is to indicate a class of new exact solutions of the equations governing the two-dimensional steady motion of incompressible fluid of variable viscosity in the presence of body force

  • In a fluid flow model, we keep the product of mass and acceleration of the moving fluid element in lefthand side and net forces on it in right-hand side of the momentum equation known as Navier-Stokes equations (NSE)

Summary

Introduction

A moving fluid element experiences forces, directly on its volumetric mass as well as on its surface, named body forces and surface forces respectively. We further mention here some attempts to the problem of finding exact solutions of the equations describing the steady plane flows of incompressible fluid of variable viscosity in the presence of body force. K., Aurnangzeb et al [16] made an effort for exact solutions of the problem mentioned above with a new coordinate transformations technique but their technique pressed them to drop the body force term at the end. K., which had successfully applied for exact solutions of the equations describing the steady plane flows of incompressible fluid of variable viscosity in the absence of body force [19]. As the coordinate φ is arbitrary in Martin’s system, we take φ = r(x, y) to achieve our plan and we characterize the streamlines of the class of flows under consideration by θ − f (r) − b = const.
