Summary

In this paper the effect of injection and elasticity of the liquid on the flow pattern of a second order fluid in the inlet region of a porous channel has been studied. The pressure gradient has been calculated by an energy integral applied over the entire flow field (including the inviscid flow region) rather than by simply applying Euler's equation of inviscid motion to the flow outside the boundary layer. The effects of suction and non-Newtonian parameter on the growth of boundary layer thickness in the inlet region, core velocity and pressure distribution in the inlet region have been studied.

Zusammenfassung

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird der Einfluß des Einblasens und der Elastizität des Mediums auf die Strömung eines Fluids zweiter Ordnung in der Anlaufstrecke eines porösen Kanals untersucht. Der Druckgradient wurde mit einer Energie-Integralmethode im ganzen Stromfeld ermittelt und nicht mit den Eulerschen Gleichungen in der reibungsfreien Kernströmung außerhald der Grenzschicht. Als Ergebnisse wurden folgende Größen ermittelt: der Einfluß der Absaugung sowie des nicht newtonschen Parameters auf das Anwachsen der Grenzschichtdicke, Kerngeschwindigkeit sowie Druckverteilung im Kanaleimlauf.
