Solution of the boundary value problem for the equations of steady-state flow of a viscous incompressible nonisothermal fluid past a heated rigid spherical particle

Resumo

We obtain an analytical solution of a boundary value problem for a viscous incompressible nonisothermal fluid assuming an exponential–power law dependence of the fluid viscosity on temperature. A uniqueness theorem for the Navier–Stokes equation linearized with respect to the velocity is proved. We obtain expressions for the mass velocity components and pressure. The solution of the boundary value problem is sought in the form of an expansion in Legendre polynomials.
