Define Couette flow in your own words.
Think about the relative motion of the plates.
What type of velocity profile is expected in Couette flow?
Consider how velocity changes from one plate to another.
What is Couette flow characterized by?
Recall the definition of Couette flow.
True or False: In Couette flow, the velocity profile is parabolic.
Visualize the flow between the plates.
A fluid with a viscosity of 5 mPas is between two plates separated by 1 mm, with one plate moving at 2 m/s. Calculate the shear stress in the fluid.
Use the formula for shear stress in a viscous fluid.
How would the flow change if both plates started moving in the same direction, at different speeds? Discuss the implications on the velocity profile.
Think about the interaction between layers in the fluid.
