The Effect of Suction on the Swirling Flow of Non-Newtonian Fluid

Abstract:

The flow of an incompressible viscous power-law fluid over an infinite rotating disk with uniform suction or injection is studied. The governing differential equations, which are partial and coupled, are simplified to a set of ordinary differential equations by generalized Karman similarity transformation. Numerical solutions of the non-linear two point boundary value problem are obtained by multi-shooting method. The effects of the power-law index and the porous parameter on the velocity fields are discussed for shear thinning fluids.
