Circular Cylinder in a Simple Shear Flow

Mass transfer between a circular cylinder of radius a and a simple shear flow (G 2 = 1, the other Gkm = 0) was studied in [132]. For the dimensionless total diffusion flux per unit length of the cylinder, the following expression was obtained as Pe 0  

One can proceed to the Sherwood number (radius-based) by using the formula I = 2n Sh.

An experimental verification [405] of the fact that the leading term of the asymptotic expansion of the mean Sherwood number for Pe 1 is independent of the Peclet number for a freely rotating circular cylinder in a simple shear flow ( ff = 1) showed good qualitative and quantitative agreement with the theoretical results [132]. The measured mean Sherwood number was 2.65, which is close to the corresponding asymptotic value (4.11.4).
