Estimates of the evolution of small perturbations in the radial spread (drain) of a viscous ring

Аннотация

This paper studies the evolution of small perturbations in the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the radial flow of a flat ring filled with a homogeneous Newtonian fluid or an ideal incompressible fluid. When the flow rate is specified as a function of time, the main motion is completely determined by the incompressibility condition regardless of the properties of the medium. A biparabolic equation for the stream function with four homogeneous boundary conditions which simulate adhesion to the expanding (contracting) walls of the ring is derived. Upper bounds for the perturbation are obtained using the method of integral relations for quadratic functionals. The case of an exponential decay of initial perturbations is considered in a finite or infinite time interval. The admissibility of the inviscid limit in this problem is proved, and upper and lower bounds for this limit are estimated.
