We reconsider the three-dimensional boundary-layer flow of a power-law (Ostwaldde Waele) rheology fluid, driven by the rotation of an infinite rotating plane in an otherwise stationary system. Here we address the problem for both shear-thinning and shear-thickening fluids and show that there are some fundamental issues regarding the application of power-law models in a boundary-layer context that have not been mentioned in previous discussions. For shear-thickening fluids, the leading-order boundary-layer equations are shown to have no suitable decaying behaviour in the far field, and the only solutions that exist are necessarily non-differentiable at a critical location and of 'finite thickness'. Higher-order effects are shown to regularize the singularity at the critical location. In the shear-thinning case, the boundary-layer solutions are shown to possess algebraic decay to a free-stream flow. This case is known from the existing literature; however here we shall emphasize the complexity of applying such solutions to a global flow, describing why they are in general inappropriate in a traditional boundary-layer context. Furthermore, previously noted difficulties for fluids that are highly shear thinning are also shown to be associated with the imposition of incorrect assumptions regarding the nature of the far-field flow. Based on Newtonian results, we anticipate the presence of non-uniqueness and through accurate numerical solution of the leading-order boundary-layer equations we locate several such solutions. IntroductionThe flow induced by the rotation of an infinite impermeable plane submerged in a viscous incompressible Newtonian fluid is described by a long-standing and classical (exact) solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. The solutions and their extensions have found many uses in industrial devices and processes, and they provide a test bed for the development of three-dimensional cross-flow instability theories and have applications to geophysics in Ekman pumping models and the decay of geostrophic flows.A similarity reduction of the fully nonlinear governing partial differential equations was provided by von Kármán (1921) for the flow induced by a rotating disk in a stationary fluid. This was later extended by Bödewadt (1940) to the problem of a rigidly rotating fluid above a stationary disk, with the obvious later continuation of the solutions across the intervening range of the parameter space for a rotating disk in a rotating fluid.In terms of the characteristics of the solutions to the Newtonian rotating-disk equations, it is well known that an enormously rich and detailed structure exists, spanned

Coupled mass and heat transfer between a cone and a non-Newtonian fluid was studied when the concentration level of the solute in the solvent is finite (finite dilution of solute approximation). Convective heat and mass transfer between a laminar flow and a stationary cone and between a rotating cone and a quiescent fluid is investigated. Solutions of both problems are found in the form of the dependencies of Sherwood number vs. Reynolds and Schmidt numbers. Coupled thermal effects during dissolution and solute concentration level effect on the rate of mass transfer are investigated. It is found that the rate of mass transfer between a cone and a non-Newtonian fluid increases with the increase of the solute concentration level. The suggested approach is valid for high Peclet and Schmidt numbers. Isothermal and nonisothermal cases of dissolution are considered whereby the latter is described by the coupled equations of mass and heat transfer. It is shown that for positive dimensionless heat of dissolution, K > 0, thermal effects cause the increase of the mass transfer rate in comparison with the isothermal case. On the contrary, for K < 0 thermal effects cause the decrease of the mass transfer rate in comparison with the isothermal case. The latter effect becomes more pronounced with the increase of the concentration level of the solute in a solvent.
Ausgehend von den dynamischen Einwirkungen eines rotierenden niedrigen Zylinders auf eine Flüssigkeit werden verschiedene Eigenschaften des Geschwindigkeitsfeldes in der nahen Umgebung schnell laufender Rührwerke untersucht. Es wird eine Hypothese über die Additivität der Einflüsse der einzelnen Flächen eines rotierenden Köpers aufgestellt. Unter diesen Voraussetzungen kann die Abhängigkeit des Drehmomentes von Rührwerken von deren geometrischer Anordnung und dem Fließindex über die Kenntnis der Drehmomente bei der Rotation einfacher Körper bestimmt werden. Die theoretischen Schlußfolgerungen stimmen mit experimentellen Ergebnissen gut überein.
