Velocity profile <strong>for</strong> flow down inclined plane.<br />

From the definition Eq 7.4-3, it follows that<br />

as the governing equation <strong>for</strong> steady flow of a barotropic fluid with conservative<br />

body <strong>for</strong>ces.<br />

Example 7.4-1<br />

An incompressible Newtonian fluid maintains a steady flow under the action<br />

of gravity down an inclined plane of slope β. If the thickness of the fluid<br />

perpendicular to the plane is h and the pressure on the free surface is p = p o<br />

(a constant), determine the pressure and velocity fields <strong>for</strong> this flow.
