Washington February 1953 %ft nil Y^ >//^bv^ NACA TM 1349 NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM NO. 1349 ON A CLASS OF EXACT SOLUTIONS OF THE EQUATIONS OF MOTION OF A VISCOUS FLUID* By V. I. Yatseyev The general solution is obtained herein of the equations of motion of a viscous fluid in which the velocity field is inversely proportional to the distance from a certain point. Some particular cases of such motion are investigated. 1. The motion of a viscous fluid with velocity field and pressiire in spherical coordinates can he given by the following expressions: Vv. = F(9) _ f(e) p _ g{9) , . ^0 = -^- ^ = p = —2- (1) 'r ~ r r" A particular solution of the equations of Navier-Stokes for this case was obtained by Landau (reference 1). In the present .paper a general solution is given of the equations of Navier-Stokes for the motion of the class under consideration. Substituting expressions (l) in the equations of Navier-Stokes and in the equation of continuity yields the following system: f2 + f2 _ fp. + 2g 4V F" + F' cot - 2f ' - 2F - 2f cot 9 = (2) ff + f" + f ' cot 9 + 2F' - f (1 + cot^ 0) = (3) F + f ' + f cot 9=0 (4) Determining F from equation (4) and substituting in equations (2) and (3) give * Ob odnom klasse tochnykh reshenii uravnenii dvizheniya vyazkoi zhidkosti."

Integrating equation (6) f2 + 2g + 2U (f + f cot 0) = - 2P^c where 2V^c is the constant of integration. (10) The function g(0) is eliminated from equations (9) and (lO) to give an equation of the Riccati type for the function fr^ f • = ^ f2 + f cot + 2V ( b cos - a c sin^ 9 2 (11) lAfter sending the manuscript to press the author obtained from L. D. Landau a communication on the work of N. Slezkin (reference 2) in which he arrived at the same equation by a different method.

The constants of integration a., "b, and c are expressed in terms of the corresponding tensor components of the density of the momentvun transfer: Sv^ 5v^ (18) Carrying out the computations n CPCP- ^2 2v^p (\} cos - a sin^ _ SV^p / a - b cos c ^^ ~ 2 1 . 2 a ~ 2 r \ sm 8 n 2V p /c cos - b re = -2" I TT" — r \ sm > (19) The streamlines are determined by the equation: dr/v^ = rd0/vg (20) the integration of which gives const/r = f sin (21) 2. Attention is now given to two particular examples for which the equation of Fuchs degenerates. (a) Equation (15) has only one regular singular point, z = oo. In this case a = b = c = and therefore by equations (19) (22) n:cpq3= tlqq = iip0 (23) NACA TM 1349 The particular solution of equation (15) \{e) = 2z - 1 - A (24) leads by formulas (4), (9), and (12) to the solution found by Landau: F(0) = 2V (A - cos 9)2 f(e) = 2V sin 9 ■ cos 9 - A g(e) = 4V2 1 - A cos Q (cos 9 - A)2 (25) This solution is analogous to the problem of a stream flowing out of the end of a thin pipe into a region filled with the same fluid. It is the only regular solution for all values of the angle 9. (b) Equation (l5) has only two regular points z = and z =oo. In this case it follows from equation (15) that a = b = c 5^ and equation (ll) becomes Euler's equation (26) 2z2 (d2x/dz2) - aX = the general solutions of which are X(0) = e^/2 cosh (nx + A) f or a > - l/2 X(0) = e^/2 cos (nx + A) for a < - l/2 } X(e) = eV2 (1 + Ax) for a = - l/2 (27) (28) Correspondingly, the following equations are obtained for the function f(9): f = 2V sm 1 + cos n tanh (nx + A) + l/2> for a > - l/2 (29) f = 2V ., ^^^ ^ ^ < Q - n tan (nx + A) > for a < - l/2 (30) 1 + cos 9)2 '' M ' f = 2V sm 9 1 + cos 9 "l 1 + Ax + 1/2 f or a = - 1/2 (31) 6 NACA TM 1349 where x = In (l + cos 9), n = -^ L/l + 2a .
