Plate Braking Against the Layerof «Delayed» Viscoplastic Fluid with Regard to Wall Sliding

The paper presents the problem of unstable viscoplastic fluid flow between parallel planes, one of which is fixed, while the other one is put in motion from a standstill under the influence of constant force. Viscoplastic fluid flow develops gradually. The border of the flow is not known in advance and is to be determined in the process of solving the task. The force applied to the upper plate is chosen so as to cause the effect of sliding along the two plates in the course of time.

Flow of Slibar–Paslay material in a flat channel

The question of the numerical simulation of unstable flow of a viscoplastic material in a flat channel is considered. Defining relations are taken in the form of Slibar–Paslay. The problem is solved in stresses. Theorem about the weak discontinuity at the interfaces between rigid and viscoplastic zones is proved. The original numerical method for solving the problem is offered. Numerical simulation results are presented.
