Abstract

Dipolar fluids have been discussed by Bleustein and Green in quite a recent paper (3). They have obtained explicit constitutive equations for homogeneous incompressible linear dipolar fluids. An application of this theory is made here to the problem of Couette flow. Monopolar and dipolar stress fields are determined. Numerical values for velocity and rate of shear for different values of radius in the annulus are given. Graphs are also drawn to compare our results with the classical ones. It is found that the rate of shear does not change sign within the annulus.
