Fluid Flow in Composite Cylindrical Regions

Abstract:

A steady, 2-D, viscous fluid flow past a fixed solid cylinder of radius ‘a’ has been considered where the density is constant for considered fluid. The flow of fluid happens in 3 regions namely fluid, porous and fluid region. The constitutive equations for the flow in porous and fluid regions are Brinkman and Stokes equations respectively. The variation of flow patterns by means of streamlines has been analysed by applying different boundary conditions at the interface of fluid – porous and porous – fluid regions and also on the surface of the solid cylinder assuming that the even velocity far off from the fluid region. The nature of streamlines is observed for the distinct values of porous parameter ‘σ’ and the corresponding flow behaviour is analysed graphically. From the obtained results it is noticed that increase in porous parameter, suppress the fluid flow in porous region consequently the fluid moves away from the solid cylinder.
