Stokes Flow of Newtonian Fluid Past a Composite Sphere Filled with Couple Stress Liquid Core
摘要
The present research explores the uniform flow of an axisymmetric, steady Stokesian flow past a spherical shell containing couple stress liquid core. The Newtonian fluid is able to flow within the permeable boundary, but cannot pass through the permeable porous boundary of the spherical shell. It is presumed that the couple stress liquid does not mix with the Newtonian fluid. The Brinkman equation is taken as the governing equation of motion in permeable porous regions. The drag force experienced by the shell is evaluated. Evaluations are done on the stream function expressions for the permeable, inner, and outer regions. The streamlines are displayed for various values of couple stress parameter
