Momentum flux profile of fluids in flow of two adjacent immiscible fluids

Input(s)

\(\mathbf{p}_{\mathbf{o}}\): Pressure at Initial Point \((\mathrm{Pa})\)

\(\mathbf{p}_{\mathbf{L}}\): Pressure at point \(\mathrm{L}(\mathrm{Pa})\)

b: Distance \((\mathrm{m})\)

\(\mathbf{x}\): Distance in Cartesian Coordinate \(\mathrm{x}(\mathrm{m})\)

L : Length \((\mathrm{m})\)

\(\boldsymbol{\mu}_{\mathbf{I}}\): Viscosity of More Dense and Viscous Fluid \((\mathrm{kg} /(\mathrm{ms}))\)

\(\boldsymbol{\mu}_{\mathbf{I I}}\): Viscosity of Less Dense and Viscous Fluid \((\mathrm{kg} /(\mathrm{ms}))\)

Output(s)

\(\boldsymbol{\tau}_{\mathbf{r z}}\): Momentum Flux \((\mathrm{Pa})\)

Formula(s)

\[ \tau_{\mathrm{rz}}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{o}}-\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{L}}\right) * \mathrm{~b}}{\mathrm{~L}} *\left(\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{b}}\right)-\frac{1}{2} * \frac{\mu_{\mathrm{I}}-\mu_{\mathrm{II}}}{\mu_{\mathrm{I}}+\mu_{\mathrm{II}}}\right) \]
