Sommario

In questo lavoro si studia il campo fluidodinamico determinato) dall'apporto di fluido in un condotto in cui scorre un fluido a piccoli numeri di Reynolds, determinando la funzione di Green per l'equazione di Stokes nella striscia: in tal modo si può calcolare il campo fluidodinamico per una qualsiasi distribuzione di iniezione. Per determinare la funzione biarmonica con derivata longitudinale infinita in alcuni punti della frontiera che governa questo problema, si scrive l'incognita in termini di funzioni armoniche, si utilizza la funzione di Green per rappresentare tali funzioni ausiliarie e si scrivono le equazioni integrali che le determinano. La soluzione di queste equazioni integrali viene ottenuta mediante la trasformata di Fourier. I risultati vengono presentati sia in forma numerica che con serie asintotiche.

Summary

In this paper flow at low Reynolds number is studied in a plane duct with injection along its boundaries, by determining the Green function for the Stokes equation in the strip: in this way it is possible to calculate the fluid-dynamic field for any distribution of injection. To obtain the bi-harmonic function that governs this problem we write the stream function in terms of two harmonic functions f and g, represent these functions using the relevant Green function and write the integral equations that determine f and g. The solution is obtained by means of the Fourier transform technique. An asymptotic representation of this solution is also given.
