Flow Due to pressure gradient between two plates:
Consider steady, two-dimensional, fully developed, incompressible viscous laminar flow between

perpendicular distance h apart
➢ Simplify the continuity and momentum equations for this case.
➢ Specify appropriate boundary conditions.
➢ Find the velocity distribution profile, maximum velocity, and average velocity.
➢ Find the shearing stress on the wall.
Consider a steady, two-dimensional, unidirectional flow problem, incompressible viscous thin film
flowing down an inclined plane (Fig. 6.8). The ambient air is assumed to be stationary, and, therefore,
the flow is driven by gravity alone. Assuming that the surface tension of the liquid is negligible, and
that the film is of uniform thickness h,
➢ Simplify the continuity and momentum equations for this case.
➢ Specify appropriate boundary conditions.
➢ Calculate the velocity distribution and the volumetric flow rate per unit width.
