On the micropolar flow in a circular pipe: the effects of the viscosity coefficients
Igor Pažanin · Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters · 2011
This paper considers the stationary flow of incompressible micropolar fluid through a thin cylindrical pipe governed by the pressure drop between pipe's ends. Its goal is to investigate the influence of the viscosity coefficients on the effective flow. Depending on the magnitude of viscosity coefficients with respect to the pipe's thickness, it derives different asymptotic models and discusses their properties.
