Oil film: P= Patm P.H Air Fixed wall
Consider steady, incompressible, parallel, laminar flow of a film of oil falling slowly down an infinite vertical wall. The oil film thickness is h, and gravity acts in the negative z-direction. There is no applied (forced) pressure driving the flow—the oil falls by gravity alone., except for the case in which the wall is inclined at angle ?. Generate expressions for both the pressure and velocity fields. As a check, make sure that your result agrees with that of when ? = 90°. [Hint: It is most convenient to use the (s, y, n) coordinate system with velocity components (us, ?, un), where y is into the page in Fig. Plot the dimensionless velocity profile us* versus n* for the case in which ? = 60°.]
