Abstract

In this paper planar viscous flows with a free boundary are further studied using the quasisteady approximation [1]. The introduction of the bianalytical stress-stream function provides an opportunity to adopt the theory of analytical functions. The mode of construction of the Fredholm boundary integral equations is here proposed through the explicit solutions of two Hilbert problems for holomorphic functions with the application of the conformal mappings. The stabiligy of the equilibrium of the annulus liquid layer is investigated by way of example.

Sommario

Si prosegue lo studio di flussi piani viscosi con frontiera libera applicando l'approssimazione quasistazionaria [1]. L'introduzione della funzione stress-stream bianalitica consente l'uso della teoria delle funzioni olomorfe. La costruzione delle equazioni integrali di Fredholm al contorno proposta qui si basa sulla risoluzione esplicita di due problemi di Hilbert per funzioni analitiche mediante applicazione della tecnica delle trasformazioni conformi. Come esempio si studia la stabilità dell'equilibrio di uno strato liquido anulare.
