2. Problem
Consider a steady, two-dimensional, incompressible velocity field:
𝑣 = 𝑎𝑥+𝑏 𝑖 + −𝑎𝑦+𝑐𝑥 𝑗
Calculate the pressure as a function of x and y.

4. Laminar Pipe Flow
I’ve shown you pictures of the velocity profile of laminar pipe flow.
Now let’s find the profile ourselves.

5. 1 𝑟 𝜕(𝑟 𝑣 𝑟 ) 𝜕𝑟 + 1 𝑟 𝜕 𝑣 𝜃 𝜕𝑟 + 𝜕 𝑣 𝑧 𝜕𝑧 =0
Continuity
Incompressible continuity equation (incompressible):
1 𝑟 𝜕(𝑟 𝑣 𝑟 ) 𝜕𝑟 + 1 𝑟 𝜕 𝑣 𝜃 𝜕𝑟 + 𝜕 𝑣 𝑧 𝜕𝑧 =0
For laminar flow, we know all flow is in the z direction
𝑣 𝑟 =0
𝑣 𝜃 =0
So what does the continuity equation tell us about 𝜕 𝑣 𝑧 𝜕𝑧 ?

6. Simplifying NS We did this Friday:
𝜌 𝜕 𝑣 𝑧 𝜕𝑡 + 𝑣 𝑟 𝜕 𝑣 𝑧 𝜕𝑟 + 𝑣 𝜃 𝑟 𝜕 𝑣 𝑧 𝜕𝜃 + 𝑣 𝑧 𝜕 𝑣 𝑧 𝜕𝑧 =− 𝜕𝑃 𝜕𝑧 +𝜌 𝑔 𝑧 +𝜇 1 𝑟 𝜕 𝜕𝑟 (𝑟 𝜕 𝑣 𝑧 𝜕𝑟 )+ 1 𝑟 2 𝜕 2 𝑣 𝑧 𝜕𝜃 2 + 𝜕 𝑣 𝑧 2 𝜕 𝑧 2
PS: What about pressure and gravity in the other directions?

7. Boundary Conditions At what 𝑟 values do we know what 𝑣 𝑧 is?
What else do we know?
