Abstract

An exact analytic solution of the unsteady Navier–Stokes equations is obtained for the flow caused by the non-coaxial rotations of a porous disk and a fluid at infinity. The porous disk is executing oscillations in its own plane with superimposed injection or suction. An increasing or decreasing velocity amplitude of the oscillating porous disk is also discussed. Further, it is shown that a combination of suction/injection and decreasing/increasing velocity amplitude is possible as well. In addition, the flow due to porous oscillating disk and a fluid at infinity rotating about an axis parallel to the z-axis is attempted as a second problem.

Sommario. Si studia il flusso non stazionario prodotto dall'oscillazione di un disco poroso in un fluido e si fornisce una soluzione analitica delle equazioni di Navier–Stokes. Si discute l'effetto di una suzione/iniezione e di una variazione sull'ampiezza della velocità' di oscillazione. Infine si studia il flusso dovuto alle oscillazioni non coassiali di un disco poroso e di un fluido all'infinito.
