Abstract.The interaction of a momentum source with a viscous uniform stream is studied. Taken separately, each flow is described by an exact solution of the full Navier-Stokes equations. Their combined effect can be described in terms of two nondimensional parameters related to the strength of the source and the distance from it. A perturbation solution for the case of a weak source is attempted and the initial terms are found. It is shown that the results are closely related to the Oseen expansion for viscous streaming past a spheroid and that when the momentum of the source opposes that of the stream a closed streamline of elliptical shape is formed.1. Introduction. The leading terms in the Oseen expansions for the sphere (Proudman and Pearson [4]), and the spheroid (Breach [1]), are very similar in form. This is true even when the spheroid is very slender and suggests that the mere presence of a body, rather than its particular shape, is the essential factor affecting the flow in the large. From this overall point of view, when a body is present in a uniform stream it acts as a sink of momentum. The details of how this momentum is destroyed are built into the boundary conditions on the surface of the body and are of local interest only. Therefore a fundamental problem for investigation is that of a momentum source, or sink, placed in a uniform stream. This is a simpler problem than that of streaming past a finite body in that there are no fixed boundaries present and analytical difficulties in satisfying conditions thereon do not arise.The momentum source in the absence of the uniform stream is described by a nontrivial exact solution of the full Navier-Stokes equations. The uniform stream alone corresponds to another exact solution. Hence when the two interact there is the possibility of constructing the solution by perturbations from exact solutions of the full nonlinear equations. This would seem to be more satisfactory than a perturbation starting from exact solutions of linearised equations.The problem depends on four parameters: the source strength, the viscosity, the velocity of the uniform stream, and the distance from the origin. These can be combined to give just two fundamental parameters and all the conditions that the solution must satisfy are expressible in terms of limiting values of these two.2.

“…The injected solute convects along with the LandauSquire flow, and diffuses within it, to form a plume whose shape encodes the injection velocity, as exploited by Secchi et al (2017) for intra-capillary velocimetry.

“…To measure fluid velocities through carbon nanotubes (CNT) and boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT), they exploited a novel feature of the laminar flow that emerges from a small capillary into an infinite fluid (figure 1a), first computed by Squire (1951) and Landau & Lifshitz (1959). In particular, the Landau-Squire flow outside a nanotube of radius R is identical to that due to a point force of magnitude F LS ∼VR, whereV is the average velocity inside the nanotube (figure 1b).…”

Fluid flows through nano-scale channels depend sensitively on the physical and chemical properties of the walls that surround them. The sub-micron dimensions of such channels, however, are impossible to resolve optically, which rules out most methods for flow visualization. Classic calculations by Squire (Q. J. Mech. Appl. Maths, vol. IV, 1951, pp. 321-329) and Landau & Lifshitz (Fluid Mechanics, vol. 6, 1959, Pergamon) showed that the laminar flow driven outside a capillary, by fluid emerging from the end of the capillary, is identical to the flow driven by a point force proportional to the average velocity in the capillary. Secchi et al. (J. Fluid Mech. 826, R3) analyze the dispersion of a solute that is injected along with the fluid, whose concentration decays slowly with distance but with a strong angular dependence that encodes the intra-capillary velocity. Fluorescence micrographs of the concentration profile emerging from the nanocapillary can be related directly to the average fluid velocity within the nanocapillary. Beyond their remarkable capacity for nano-velocimetry, Landau-Squire plumes will likely appear throughout micro-and nano-fluidic systems.
