Steady flows of second-grade fluids in a channel

Abstract:
In this paper, we study mathematical models describing steady
flows of second-grade fluids in a plane channel. The flows are
driven by constant pressure gradient. We consider various boundary
conditions on the channel walls, namely, the no-slip condition,
the free-slip condition, threshold slip conditions, and mixed
boundary conditions. For each of the boundary value problems, we
construct exact solutions, which characterize the velocity and
pressure fields in the channel. Using these solutions, we show
that the pressure significantly depends on the normal stress
coefficient $\alpha$, especially in those subdomains, where the
change of flow velocity is large (in the transverse direction of
the channel). At the same time, the velocity field is independent
of $\alpha$, and therefore coincides with the velocity field that
occurs in the case of a Newtonian fluid (when $\alpha= 0$).
Moreover, we establish that the key point in a description of
stick-slip flows is value of $\xi h$, where $\xi$ is module of the
gradient pressure, $h$ is the half-channel height. If $\xi h$
exceeds some threshold value, then the slip regime holds at solid
surfaces, otherwise the fluid adheres to the channel walls. If it
is assumed that the free-slip condition (Navier's condition) is
provided on one part of the boundary, while on the other one a
stick-slip condition holds, then for the slip regime the
corresponding threshold value is reduced to a certain extent, but
not by more than half. Refs 15.
