Mass transport in Couette flow

Abstract

In this study we examine the large Péclet number, Pe, limit of a concentration boundary layer in Couette flow. The boundary layer has a thickness of order Pe−1/2. The asymptotic concentration is asymptotically obtained as an integral solution up to order Pe−1/2 using the Fourier sine transform. The asymptotic solution is found to be in good agreement with the full numerical solution for large Péclet numbers. Further, the effective diffusivity obtained from the asymptotic solution is found to be in good agreement with the effective diffusivity obtained from the full numerical solution for large Péclet numbers.
