Advective flow in a rotating liquid film

详细

This paper presents a new exact solution of the Navier–Stokes equations in the Boussinesq approximation that describes thermocapillary advective flow in a slowly rotating horizontal layer of incompressible fluid with free boundaries. Such flow occurs in the case of linear temperature distribution over horizontal coordinates or in the case of heat flux distribution at the layer boundaries. The influence of the Taylor, Marangoni, Grashof, and Biot numbers on the flow and temperature velocity profiles is studied.
