Abstract
The relative tangential motion of a smooth plate and a corrugated plate sep arated 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 corru gation is found to be substantial. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All right s reserved.
