ABSTRACT A class of exact solutions is obtained of Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluid of variable viscosity. This class consist of flows for which the vorticity distribution is defined by equation (11). The Navier-Stokes equations are transformed into simple ordinary differential equations by introducing a variable defined by equation (23) and a class of exact solutions is determined. The effect of parameters n, m, a, b and U on the velocity components are plotted and discussed. Keywords: Exact Solutions, Navier-Stoke Equations, Solutions to the flow equations of an incompressible fluid of variable viscosity, A class of exact solutions to Navier Stokes equations.
1 INTRODUCTION Exact solutions of Navier-Stokes equations are very important, because they serve a dual purpose. First, they provide a solution to be a flow that has some physical meaning. Second, such solutions can be used as accuracy checks for experimental, numerical, and asymptotic methods. Some exact solutions of Navier-Stokes equations are determined in cases where these equations can be linearized and in cases where these equations can be reduced to ordinary differential equations for which the solution is possible. Some exact solutions of Navier-Stokes equations are also reported in which the vorticity distribution is prescribed such that the governing equations written in terms of the stream function become linear. The reader interested in details of these exact solutions may refer to Taylor(Taylor 1923), Kamp de Feriet( Kamp de Feriet 1930), Kovasznay (Kovasznay 1948), Wang (Wang 1966), Lin and Tobak (Lin and Tobak 1986), Hui (Hui 1987), Wang (Wang 1989) ,Wang (Wang 1990), Wang (Wang 1991), Chandna and Oku-UKpong (Chandna and Oku-UKpong 1994), Naeem and Jamil (Naeem and Jamil 2005), Naeem and Jamil (Naeem and Jamil 2006) and Naeem and Younus (Naeem and Younus 2010) and references therein. The objective of this paper is to indicate a class of exact solutions of the equations governing the steady plane flows of incompressible fluid of variable viscosity for which the vorticity distribution is defined by equation (11).We point out that exact solutions to Navier-Stokes Int.

equations, to be best of our knowledge, are not yet presented for the vorticity distribution characterized by equation (11). The outline of the paper is as follows. In section 2, we present the basic flow equations and express them in terms of the function and a new variable defined by equations (12) and (23), respectively. In section 3, we determined the exact solutions. In section 4, we discuss the influence of the pertinent parameters involved in the solutions on the fluid motion. The conclusion is given in section 5.

4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A class of exact solutions of the equations governing the steady plane flows of incompressible fluid of variable viscosity are determined for which the vorticity distribution is defined by equation (11), and the effect of parameters n, m, a, b and U are depicted in figures(1-22). Figures (1-12) are for Case-I and figures (13-22) are for Case-II. Figures (1)and (2) present the effect of parameter n on the velocity components u and v in the direction of y and x, respectively. It is obvious form these figures that velocity components u and v have oscillating behavior and both are increasing function of n in absolute value. The amplitude of oscillation increase with the increase of the parameter n. Figures (3) and (4) show effect of parameters b and a on velocity components u and v in the y and x directions, respectively. The effects are similar to effects of n in figures (1) and (2). Figures (5-8) illustrate the influence of parameter U on the velocity components u and v in y and x directions, respectively. These figures indicate that oscillations decrease with increase in U and the magnitude of the velocity components u and v increase with increase in U. Figures(9-12) present the effect of parameters U, a and b on the velocity components u and v. The figures show that the magnitude of velocity components increase with increase in U, a and b. Figures (13-22) present influence of the parameters m, a, b and U on the velocity components. These figures show that velocity components are increasing function of parameters in absolute value.
5 CONCLUSION A class of exact solutions of equations governing the steady plane motion of incompressible fluid of variable viscosity are obtained for which the vorticity distribution is given by equation (11). The effect of parameters n, m, b and U of interest on the velocity components are plotted and discussed. Int. J. of Appl. Math and Mech. 7 (4): 97-118, 2011.
