Abstract
An exact solution to the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past an infinite vertical oscillating plate, in the presence of a foreign mass has been derived by the Laplace-transform technique when the plate temperature is linearly varying as time. The velocity profiles are shown on graphs and the numerical values of the skin-friction are listed in a table. It is observed that the skin-friction increases with increasingSc, ωt orGr but decreases with increasingGm ort, whereSc (the Schmidt number), ω (frequency),t (time),Gr (the Grashof number) andGm is (the modified Grashof number) andt.
Zusammenfassung
Mit Hilfe der Laplace-Transformation wird eine exakte Lösung für die Strömung einer zähen, inkompressiblen Flüssigkeit entlang einer unendlich ausgedehnten, senkrechten, oszillierenden Platte gewonnen, wobei die Einwirkung eines Feststoffs Berücksichtigung findet und die Plattentemperatur linear mit der Zeit veränderlich sein soll. Die Geschwindigkeitsprofile sind in Diagrammen dargestellt und die numerischen Werte der Reibungsschubspannung in einer Tabelle. Letztere wächst mit der Schmidt-ZahlSc, der Grashof-ZahlGr und dem Produkt aus Frequenz ω und Zeitt; sie nimmt ab, wennGm (die modifizierte Grashof-Zahl) undt zunehmen.
