UNSTEADY ROTATIONAL MOTION OF A MICROPOLAR FLUID INSIDE A RIGHT CIRCULAR CYLINDER USING STATE SPACE APPROACH

Abstract

In this work, the unsteady rotational motion of an incompressible micropolar fluid inside a right circular cylinder is investigated. The classical no-slip and no-spin boundary conditions are proposed. The problem is solved analytically using the state space approach together with Laplace transform technique. The inverse Laplace transform is carried out numerically using a numerical technique based on Fourier series expansion. Numerical results for the flow field functions are represented graphically for different values of the time and micropolarity parameters
