Analytical solutions for two-dimensional Stokes flow singularities in a no-slip wedge of arbitrary angle
نویسندگان
چکیده
An analytical method to find the flow generated by the basic singularities of Stokes flow in a wedge of arbitrary angle is presented. Specifically, we solve a biharmonic equation for the stream function of the flow generated by a point stresslet singularity and satisfying no-slip boundary conditions on the two walls of the wedge. The method, which is readily adapted to any other singularity type, takes full account of any transcendental singularities arising at the corner of the wedge. The approach is also applicable to problems of plane strain/stress of an elastic solid where the biharmonic equation also governs the Airy stress function.

متن کاملSingularities at rims in three - dimensional fluid flow
Asymptotic solutions are presented for Stokes flow near circular rims in three dimensional geometries. Using nonstandard toroidal coordinates, asymptotic analytical expressions are derived for different corner angles. In comparison to the two-dimensional case, an extra critical corner angle value is derived, below which the swirling behavior of a particle is absent. Illustrations of the motion ...

A general initial-boundary value problem of one-dimensional transient wave propagation in a multi-layered elastic medium due to arbitrary boundary or interface excitations (either prescribed tractions or displacements) is considered. Laplace transformation technique is utilised and the Laplace transform inversion is facilitated via an unconventional method, where the expansion of complex-valued...

متن کاملA comparative study between two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations
The present study aimed to investigate two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. For this purpose, the mentioned flow equations were written in two different formulations, namely (i) velocity-pressure and (ii) vorticity-stream function formulations. Solution algorithms and boundary conditions were presented for both formulations and the efficiency of each formulation was investiga...
