Characteristics of Poiseuille flow in a divided channel
Abstract
The problem considered is that of Poiseuille flow in a two-dimensional channel impinging on a flat plate placed symmetrically between the two channel walls so as to bifurcate the channel into two equal branches. The results of a theoretical study of the problem are presented and analyzed to portray in full details the characteristics of the flow before and after the bifurcation point. In particular the effects of the flow divider on the flow near the channel walls and the effects of the channel walls on the flow near the flow divider are examined.
