On the Flow of a Dusty Fluid

Abstract

The present paper deals with the flow of a fluid with uniform distribution of dust particles in two parts. In part A, the motion induced in the dusty fluid is considered in the case when the plane moves parallel to itself impulsively from rest with uniform velocity; for this case, the velocity profiles of fluid as well as dust particles are obtained. In part B, the flow is produced by the motion of cylinders. Two cases are taken : (i) cylinders moving exponentially with time and, (ii) cylinders moving in simple harmonic motion.
