Abstract

AbstractThe exact (Navier-Stokes) equations for the flow of a viscous compressible fluid are examined in a search for simple solutions, in which the equations reduce to ordinary differential equations. Such solutions are found for the uniform shearing motion in the Couette flow between both parallel flat plates and coaxial circular cylinders in relative motion. For a compressible fluid there are no simple solutions corresponding to certain other flows (such as the Poiseuille flow between fixed parallel flat plates) described by simple solutions for an incompressible fluid. A solution is found for the flow of a gas over an infinite porous plate with uniform suction through the plate (gravity neglected), and the relation of the solution to asymptotic solutions of the boundary-layer equations is discussed. Ordinary differential equations are obtained for the problems of (i) the flow due to the rotation of a horizontal disk in a gas (dissipation neglected), and (ii) the steady circulatory flow round a porous circular cylinder with uniform suction (gravity neglected). Discussion of the gas-dynamical problems is preceded by a description of the state of a horizontally stratified gas in static and thermal equilibrium.
