    2.25 Advanced Fluid Mechanics

    Problem 3.05
    This problem is from “Advanced Fluid Mechanics Problems” by A.H. Shapiro and A.A. Sonin

    A long, flat plate of breadth L (L being small compared with the length perpendicular to the sketch) is
    hinged at the left side to a flat wall, and the gap betweeen the plate and wall is filled with an incompressible
    liquid of density ρ. If the plate is at a small angle θ(t) and is depressed at an angular rate

    dθ
    ω(t) = − ,
    dt

    obtain an expression for the average liquid speed u(x, t) in the x-direction at station x and time t.

    Solution:

    Conservation of mass:
    time rate of change rate of mass rate of mass
    = − (3.05a)
    of mass in the volume flow in flow out

    If the plate moves Δθ in time, Δt, fluid in the shaded area, must flow out through the control surface (unit
    depth into the page).
    time rate of change ρ 1 1
    = x(x ttannnΔθ) = − x2 ωρ ;

    ≈Δθ
    (rate of mass flow in) = 0 ;
    (rate of mass flow out) = uav (x tan

    From (3.05a)
    1 xω
    − x2 ω = 0 − uav θx ⇒ uav = .

    More formally by conservation of mass:


    ∂
    ρ dV = − ρ(u − VCV ) · n ds . (3.05b)
