5.1 Introduction—Types of Solutions
We discussed laminar flow in Chapter 2 and noticed that flow takes place as if the fluid is made of layers or lamina and the interaction between these adjacent layers is through the transfer of molecules, which results in the various transport properties, namely, the dynamic viscosity, thermal conductivity, diffusion, etc. We also developed the mathematical model for this flow and noted that the resulting equations are (i) non-linear, (ii) partial differential equation of second ...
