9-104 Consider a modified form of Couette flow in which there are two immiscible fluids sandwiched between two infi- nitely long and wide, parallel flat plates (Fig. P9-104). The flow is steady, incompressible, parallel, and laminar. The top plate moves at velocity V to the right, and the bottom plate is stationary. Gravity acts in the -z-direction (downward in the figure). There is no forced pressure gradient pushing the flu- ids through the channel-the flow is set up solely by viscous effects created by the moving upper plate. You may ignore surface tension effects and assume that the interface is hori- zontal. The pressure at the bottom of the flow (z = 0) is equal to P- (a) List all the appropriate boundary conditions on both velocity and pressure. (Hint: There are six required boundary conditions.) (b) Solve for the velocity field. (Hint: Split up the solution into two portions, one for each fluid. Generate expressions for u, as a function of z and u, as a function of z.) (c) Solve for the pressure field. (Hint: Again split up the solution. Solve for P, and P) (d) Let fluid 1 be water and let fluid 2 be unused engine oil, both at 80°C.
