Abstract

A two-dimensional Stokes flow past a vertical plate in a channel is analyzed. The vertical plate is located at the center of the channel, and plane Poiseuille flow exists far upstream and downstream of the vertical plate. The Stokes approximation is used, and the flow is investigated analytically using the method of eigenfunction expansion and the point collocation method. From the analysis, the stream function and pressure distribution are obtained, and the pressure and shear stress distributions on the plate and channel wall are calculated. The additional pressure drop induced by the vertical plate and the force exerted on it are calculated as functions of the length of the vertical plate. For a typical length of the vertical plate, the streamline pattern and pressure distribution are shown. In addition, numerical analysis of laminar flow with a small Reynolds number is carried out to analyze the effect of a small Reynolds number on the flow pattern.

2차원 채널 내의 수직 평판을 지나는 유동에 대한 이론적 연구를 수행하였다. 수직 평판은 채널의 상하 중앙부에 위치하며, 수직 평판에서 멀리 떨어진 채널 내에는 포아제 유동이 존재한다. 스톡스 근사를 적용하고 고유함수 전개와 점 배열 방법을 사용하여 유동장을 해석하였다. 해석의 결과로 유동 함수와 압력분포식을 구하였으며, 채널의 벽면과 수직 평판에 작용하는 압력 및 전단응력 분포를 계산 하였다. 또한, 수직 평판으로 인해 부가적으로 발생하는 압력 강하와 수직 평판이 받는 힘을 수직 평판 길이의 함수로 계산하였으며, 대표적인 수직 평판의 길이에 대하여 유선과 압력분포도를 도시하였다. 또한, 작은 레이놀즈 수가 유동에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 레이놀즈 수가 작은 층류유동의 경우에 대하여 수치해석을 수행하였다.
