Abstract

The relative tagential motion of a smooth plate and a corrugated plate separated by a viscous fluid is studied. The full Navier-Stokes equations are solved using Hermite collocation and Newton's method. Detailed streamlines and vorticity distributions are determined. The increased drag due to corrugation is found to be substantial.
