Moving Wall U: An Internet Book On Fluid Dynamics

This document describes a problem involving two immiscible liquids of different viscosities in a Couette flow device. Liquid A has half the height and one quarter the viscosity of liquid B. The top wall moves at a velocity U. The interface between the liquids must have the same velocity. The problem asks to find the velocity of the interface and the apparent viscosity of the mixture if it was believed to be a single liquid.

An Internet Book on Fluid Dynamics

Problem 150D

Two immiscible viscous liquids are introduced into a Couette flow device so that they form two layers of equal height as
follows:

Moving Wall U

h/2 Liquid A: PA = P

h/2 Liquid B: PB = 4P

Static Wall

The dynamic viscosity, , of liquid A is one quarter of that of liquid B. The upper plate is then moved at a velocity, U . Find:
(a) The velocity of the interface between the two liquids.
(b) The apparent viscosity of the mixture as seen by an experimenter who believes that only one liquid is in the device.

Note: At the interface the two liquids must have the same velocity.
