dc.description.abstract | The Navier-Stokes equations are the system ofnon-linear partial differential equations governing
the motion of a Newtonian fluid. This study is based on three kind of flows of obtaining the
Exact solutions of Navier-Stokes equations which are:Flows for which the non-linear terms of
Navier-Stokes equations vanish identically such as parallel flow,Flow with similarity properties
such that the flowequations reduces to set of ODEs-Ordinary differential equations(Stagnation
point flowwas used as an example of such flow)and Flows for which the vorticity function is
so chosen that the governing equations reduces to a linear equation.In each case the governing
equations were formulated and the method of obtaining the exact solutions was analysed. | en |
