This theoretical overview explores Couette flow, specifically the fluid motion between two parallel, infinite plates. We assume stationary and incompressible fluid conditions while considering the distance from entrance and exit effects. The flow characterization includes boundary conditions with velocity defined at specific points between the plates. Applications extend to scenarios like car pistons, tires on roads, and feet over soil. We derive key fluid dynamics equations, discuss velocity profiles—resulting in parabolic shapes—and conclude with insights into shear stresses and their independence from viscosity.

Couette Flow • We will assume stationary, incompressible and that the plates have infinite length and depth along the direction normal to the paper. This is equivalent to say that we are far away from the entrance and the exit and from the walls perpendicular to x3. In this case the velocity as a single component, along x1. • The BC are u=0 at y=0 and u=U0 at y=h • The continuity equation becomes: • The NS equation becomes:
y z gx g 𝜶 𝜶 gy x
Integrating along yy • The BC are u=0 at y=0 and u=U0 at y=h
Interpretation Defining: is the straight line • This flow could exist between: • The piston of a car and the cylinder, • A tire and the road, • A foot and the soil, • …..
Flow over a inclined plane • We will assume stationary, incompressible that the plates have infinite length along the direction normal to the paper and that we are far from the entrance and the exit. In this case the velocity as a single component, along x1. • The BC are u=0 at y=0 and τ=0 aty=h h
The continuity equation becomes: • The NS equation becomes:
Integrating along yy • The BC are u=0 at y=0 and τ=0 at y=h • The velocity profile is a parabola and shear stress is a straight line
Average velocity, Maximum shear • Does it make sense maximum shear to be independent of the viscosity?
