  2. No-slip condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-slip_condition

    The no-slip condition is an empirical assumption that has been useful in modelling many macroscopic experiments. It was one of three alternatives that were the subject of contention in the 19th century, with the other two being the stagnant-layer (a thin layer of stationary fluid on which the rest of the fluid flows) and the partial slip (a finite relative velocity between solid and fluid ...

  3. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    Showing wall boundary condition. The most common boundary that comes upon in confined fluid flow problems is the wall of the conduit. The appropriate requirement is called the no-slip boundary condition, wherein the normal component of velocity is fixed at zero, and the tangential component is set equal to the velocity of the wall. [1]

  4. Boundary layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer

    In physics and fluid mechanics, a boundary layer is the thin layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding surface formed by the fluid flowing along the surface. The fluid's interaction with the wall induces a no-slip boundary condition (zero velocity at the wall). The flow velocity then monotonically increases above the surface until ...

  5. Stokes' paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes'_paradox

    In the science of fluid flow, Stokes' paradox is the phenomenon that there can be no creeping flow of a fluid around a disk in two dimensions; or, equivalently, the fact there is no non-trivial steady-state solution for the Stokes equations around an infinitely long cylinder. This is opposed to the 3-dimensional case, where Stokes' method ...

  6. Stokes problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_problem

    In fluid dynamics, Stokes problem also known as Stokes second problem or sometimes referred to as Stokes boundary layer or Oscillating boundary layer is a problem of determining the flow created by an oscillating solid surface, named after Sir George Stokes.

  7. Dynamic similarity (Reynolds and Womersley numbers)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_similarity...

    In fluid mechanics, dynamic similarity is the phenomenon that when there are two geometrically similar vessels (same shape, different sizes) with the same boundary conditions (e.g., no-slip, center-line velocity) and the same Reynolds and Womersley numbers, then the fluid flows will be identical.

  8. Self-similar solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similar_solution

    Self-similar solutions appear whenever the problem lacks a characteristic length or time scale (for example, the Blasius boundary layer of an infinite plate, but not of a finite-length plate). These include, for example, the Blasius boundary layer or the Sedov–Taylor shell. [1] [2]
