Three-dimensional flow of Jeffrey fluid between a rotating and stationary disks with suction

A three-dimensional steady flow of an incompressible Jeffrey fluid bounded by two parallel circular disks, one rotating and other stationary is examined with uniform suction at the stationary disk. Solutions for the governing equations are obtained applying “Power series method”. The velocity distri...

Description
Summary:A three-dimensional steady flow of an incompressible Jeffrey fluid bounded by two parallel circular disks, one rotating and other stationary is examined with uniform suction at the stationary disk. Solutions for the governing equations are obtained applying “Power series method”. The velocity distributions, pressure coefficient and skin frictions are obtained which in turn are compared with assumptions of creeping flow solutions. The velocity distribution and pressure coefficient are discussed graphically. We found that the radial velocity increases and axial velocity decreases when Jeffrey parameter is increased.
