A straight horizontal duct extends in the z direction for a length L and has a square cross
section, bordered by the lines x=+-B and y=+-B. An incompressible Newtonian fluid
achieved a fully developed velocity profile in the duct. One of the students claimed that the
velocity distribution is given by
vz=(P0-PL)B24L[1-(xB)2][1-(yB)2]
Write down the final expression of the appropriate component (xy?z of the Navier-Stokes
equation in the differential form.
Does this equation satisfy the relevant boundary conditions (Yes/No) and the relevant
differential equation (Yes/No)? Provide proper justification for each choice.
