Exact Solutions of Boundary Layer Equations in Polymer Solutions

We have generalized, in the current study, the results of research presented earlier with the aim of obtaining an approximate solution for the creeping, plane-parallel flow of viscoplastic non-Newtonian fluid where the focus is on the study of rivulet fluid flows on an inclined surface. Namely, profiles of velocity of flow have been considered to be given in the same form as previously (i.e., Gaussian-like, non-stationary solutions) but with a novel type of pressure field p. The latter has been chosen for solutions correlated explicitly with the critical maximal non-zero level of stress τs in the shared plane layer of rivulet flow, when it begins to move as viscous flow (therefore, we have considered here the purely non-Newtonian case of viscoplastic flow). Correlating phenomena such as the above stem from the equations of motion of viscoplastic non-Newtonian fluid considered along with the continuity equation. We have obtained a governing sub-system of two partial differential equations of the first order for two functions, p and τs. As a result, a set of new semi-analytical solutions are presented and graphically plotted.

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the solvability of the steady-state flow model for low-concentrated aqueous polymer solutions with a damping term in a bounded domain under the no-slip boundary condition. Mathematically, the model under consideration is a boundary value problem for the system of strongly nonlinear partial differential equations of third order with the zero Dirichlet boundary condition. We propose the concept of a full weak solution (velocity–pressure pair) in the distributions sense. Using the method of introduction of auxiliary viscosity, the acute angle theorem for generalized monotone nonlinear operators, and the Krasnoselskii theorem on the continuity of the superposition operator in Lebesgue spaces, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of a full weak solution satisfying some energy inequality. Moreover, it is shown that the obtained solutions of the original problem converge to a solution of the steady-state damped Navier–Stokes system as the relaxation viscosity tends to zero.
