Exact solutions of the steady-state navier-stokes equations
Abstract
Exact Navier-Stokes solutions for steady flows are characterized, summarizing the results of recent analytical investigations. The focus is on the value of these solutions as descriptions of basic flow phenomena and as checks on the accuracy of approximate methods. Consideration is given to parallel and concentric flows; generalized Beltrami flows (planar and axisymmetric cases); and similarity solutions for radial flows, rotating disks, stagnation flows, porous boundaries, translating boundaries, stretching flows, and spherical coordinates.
