Rotating cylinders task: velocity and pressure

analytical approach to get the velocity and pressure fields for the rotating cylinders problem

computational task

MaRDI QIDQ6830767FDOCommunityMathModDB

Description

Here we choose R1=1 and R2=2 for the cylinder radii and omega1=2 and omega2=5/4 for the corresponding angular velocities. This choice yields eta=1/2 and mu=5/8 for the dimensionless parameters, such that finally we have A=B=1. Further, we (arbitrarily) choose C=1 for simplicity.

The no-slip boundary conditions for the velocity profile are u(R1)=omega1*R1=2 and u(R2)=omega2*R2=5/2

The boundary conditions for the pressure profile are p(R1)=2 and p(R2)=25/8+2log2=4.51129...
