Effect of Suction and Injection on the Time-Varying Flow Produced by an Oscillating Porous Disk and a Newtonian Fluid at Infinity Rotating about Parallel Axes

Abstract

In this paper, the time-dependent flow of a Newtonian fluid generated by a porous disk performing oscillation without torsion and the fluid at infinity rotating about two different axes is considered. As the disk and the fluid at infinity are rotating in an eccentric form at the beginning of the oscillation motion, the disk initiates oscillations without torsion within its own plane. The exact solutions for the velocity and shear stresses within the fluid are presented and the influences of the suction and injection are analysed. It is observed that the application of suction leads to a decrease in the boundary layer thickness whereas it increases with the implementation of injection. Furthermore, a periodic solution is presented and it is shown that the elapsed time until the flow becomes periodic occurs shorter for both suction and injection cases.
