COUETTE FLOW OVER A HEAT ISLAND
The ANZIAM Journal, 2023 AbstractA viscous fluid is confined between two smooth horizontal walls, in a vertical channel. The upper wall may move with constant speed, but the lower wall is stationary and a portion of it is heated. A plume of heated fluid develops, and may also be swept downstream by the motion of the upper wall.
