Abstract: | We consider the Newtonian Poiseuille flow in a tube whose cross-section is an equilateral triangle. It is assumed that boundary slip occurs only above a critical value of the wall shear stress, namely the slip yield stress. It turns out that there are three flow regimes defined by two critical values of the pressure gradient. Below the first critical value, the fluid sticks everywhere and the classical no-slip solution is recovered. In an intermediate regime the fluid slips only around the middle of each boundary side and the flow problem is not amenable to analytical solution. Above the second critical pressure gradient non-uniform slip occurs everywhere at the wall. An analytical solution is derived for this case and the results are discussed. |
