Explanation of Solution
According to the data given in question for an incompressible Newtonian laminar flow fluid with no free surface. The unknown quantity present in the Stokes flow equation are u, v and P.
The corresponding equation for the given flow condition is continuity of Navier-Stokes equation. The other equation is: -
- X- component of Navier-Stokes equation
- Y-component of Navier-Stokes equation
Navier-Stokes equation in Cartesian co-ordinate system is given as:
x-component:
y-component of Navier-Stokes equation:
z-component:
Now,
During, non-dimensionalization a modified pressure is introduced. This helps in absorbing the hydrostatic pressure. It is defined as:
Here,
P is pressure,
P′ is modified pressure
Z is the vertical direction vector
When these equations are combined with appropriate boundary condition the problem can be solved.

Fluid Dynamics: Blood in a new pediatric blood cannula can be described by Equation 1 below. We assume that flow conditions are steady (time independent), fully developed (fluid layers moving consistently), with laminar flow properties (no mixing or rotational fluid dynamic properties).
