EFFECT OF THE CAVITY ANGLE ON FLOW STRUCTURES IN AN ANNULAR WEDGE CAVITY

Abstract

developments in the all fields of Mathematics and applications in all interdisciplinary areas. The journal is published twice, the two dimensional biharmonic equation is solved analytically. The flow is governed by two physical control parameters: the cavity angle and the ratio of the upper and lower lid speeds (S = U1 U2 ). By varying for each S, the effect of cavity angle on the streamline patterns and their bifurcations are investigated.
