CIEG 305 IN CLASS EXERCISE ON VISCOUS FLOW
Consider viscous flow between 2 parallel
horizontal plates a distance h apart. Assume the
upper plate moving with velocity, U. The flow is
considered steady, fully developed (no vertical
velocity, no cross-stream velocity or variations)
, no streamwise variations and has no applied
pressure gradients. Find u(z), the vertical
profile of the horizontal velocity.
