Laminar flow between parallel plates

The problem of axial conduction in the wall was considered by Petukhov (1967). The parameter used to characterize the effect of axial conduction is P = (l - dyd k2/k ). The numerical calculations performed for q = const, and neglecting the wall thermal resistance in radial direction, showed that axial thermal conduction in the wall does not affect the Nusselt number Nuco. Davis and Gill (1970) considered the problem of axial conduction in the wall with reference to laminar flow between parallel plates with finite conductivity. It was found that the Peclet number, the ratio of thickness of the plates to their length are important dimensionless groups that determine the process of heat transfer. 

Table IV includes theoretical transition times (C2, R14, SI7c) in laminar flow between parallel plates, following a concentration step at the wall (Leveque mass transfer). Clearly, in laminar flow (Re 100 or lower), transition times are comparable to those in laminar free convection. Here, however, the dependence on concentration (through the diffusivity) is weak. The dimensionless time variable in unsteady-state mass transfer of the Leveque type is...

The laminar flow assumption eliminates the non-linear term in the partial differential equations system (3.3), thus significantly reducing the computational cost. In addition, the present formulation often admits an exact solution. For example, in the case of an incompressible 2D laminar flow between two motionless parallel plates (i.e. planar SOFC configuration of Figure 3.1), Equation (3.29) reduces to ... 

Consider a fluid that is contained between parallel plates as shown in Figure 6.2. The fluid can be made to flow as follows. If the upper plate is moved, it exerts a force across the nearest plane layer of fluid. Depending on the force per unit area (F/A) some deformation is produced (parallel to the plane). If the fluid is visualized as a set of thin plane layers, the uppermost layer will move with the plate while the lowermost layer remains motionless (no-slip condition). Intermediate layers will have intermediate velocities. The flow situation just described is termed laminar flow (turbulent flow is discussed in Section 10.3.1). The distance between adjacent layers is dy and between adjacent layers, there exists a velocity difference, dV, thus a velocity gradient dV/dy. This velocity gradient arises out of a competition between the applied force per unit area (F/A) and an internal resistance provided by the fluid,...

The above evidence establishes that fracturing and seismic behavior can extend well into the zone of mid to lower crustal metamorphism at rock pressures of —0.5-1 GPa. Veins preserve a valuable record of this brittle deformation they are fractures in which mineral mass has been deposited. The most common vein-forming minerals are quartz, calcite, and the feldspars, but a huge variety of other minerals are also observed. Fractures tend to focus flow, because they are zones of elevated permeability. Fracture flow is commonly approximated using the well-known expression from fluid mechanics for laminar flow between two parallel plates (e.g., White, 1979). For a set of parallel fractures, the flux is approximated by (e.g., Norton and Knapp, 1977) ... 

This model assumes laminar flow between two perfectly smooth and parallel plates. However, Experiments have shown that the real mechanical aperture (E) and the hydraulic conducting aperture (e) are not equal. The cubic law (e = E) is only valid for very open fractures and/or for fractures with smooth fracture surfaces (low JRC). The mechanical aperture E can be converted into the hydraulic conducting aperture e, by using Eq. (2) (Barton et al., 1985) ...

Equations for concentration polarization have been derived for simple cases such as laminar flow of feed solution between parallel plates or inside hollow fibers. " Numerical solutions were required because of the developing concentration boundary layer and the gradual decrease in solution flow rate as permeation occurs. Exact solutions arc not available for the more important cases of flow outside hollow fibers or in the channels of a spiral-wound module, but an approximate analysis may still be helpful. 

Turbulence is inherently three-dimensional. If there is a pressure-driven laminar flow between two parallel plates, all the yelocity will be in one direction and all the velocity gradients will be in the direction perpendicular to the parallel plates. There is no velocity or velocity gradient in the direction perpendicular to these two directions. If we increase the Reynolds number enough for the flow to become turbulent, then we [will observe fluctuating turbulent velocity components in all three directions. ... 

In this paper, we analyze mass transfer in a parallel-plate mass exchanger with reactive membranes. We consider the case of fully developed, one-dimensional laminar flow between two membranes.

According to the Cubic Law, fracture is formed by the smooth, flat, infinite long parallel plates without filling medium, and the water flow between the plates is viscous incompressible flow which is permanent laminar flow.
