The plates are separated by a gap (H) with the lower plate always fixed. The flow can be generated by imposing a constant positive pressure drop (AP/L) and/or moving the upper plate at a constant velocity UT. The general expression of the velocity in the x-direction is: only bart 3 1 ΔΡ u(y) = -(Hy-y²) + sgn U₁ 2μ L In the above equation μ is the fluid viscosity, and sgn=+1 if the upper plate is pulled in the positive x- direction while sgn=-1 if the upper plate is pulled in the negative x-direction.

Case2: The flow is driven by the pressure drop but the upper plate is also fixed (UT=0) Case3: Both the pressure drop and moving upper plate are responsible for the flow.
