Numerical investigation of the invariant-group solution of the equation of motion of ``power'' liquid (Q1311513)

The paper deals with the numerical study of a steady axisymmetric radial flow with power-law index \(4/3\). The flow problem in a conical region is formulated as a two-point boundary value problem which is investigated numerically using the fourth order Runge-Kutta algorithm. The dimensionless velocity profiles are presented through graphs for various values of semi-apex angle and for small values of the Reynolds number \(Re\). The behaviour of the profiles for \(Re=0\) is also discussed.
