Some Aspects of Plane Poiseuille Flow of a Polar Fluid
through a Porous Layer with Brinkman Effects
Authors: ,
Abstract: Polar fluid through a porous structure is considered in an attempt to derive expressions for its effective viscosity under Poiseuille flow. Expressions for the velocity field and micro-rotation are obtained and compared with the corresponding expressions for flow in free space in order to illustrate the effects of the porous medium parameters on the traversing fluid. This work might be of applicability in the study of lubrication problems in configurations involving porous linings, and in the study of the effects of viscosity changes on oil well yield.
