Flow of Fractal Fluid in Pipes: Non-Integer Dimensional Space Approach
arXiv:1503.02842 · doi:10.1016/j.chaos.2014.06.008
Abstract
Using a generalization of vector calculus for the case of non-integer dimensional space we consider a Poiseuille flow of an incompressible viscous fractal fluid in the pipe. Fractal fluid is described as a continuum in non-integer dimensional space. A generalization of the Navier-Stokes equations for non-integer dimensional space, its solution for steady flow of fractal fluid in a pipe and corresponding fractal fluid discharge are suggested.
