A model for Stokes flow in a two-dimensional bifurcating channel
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 April 2006
Abstract
A model is presented for steady two-dimensional Stokes flow in a bifurcating channel. The geometry of the bifurcation is symmetric, but the flow rates through the two branches may be unequal. It is found that separation takes place on the outer boundary of the channel for either a smooth or a sharp flow divider, but only when the flow rates through the two branches of the channel are sufficiently different.
