2.4 Supplementary reading [Couette/Poiseuille top]

Couette and Poiseuille flow are the most basic fluid flows. Steady solutions are covered in introductory fluid mechanics or transport texts such as Fox and McDonald [1], Munson, Young, and Okiishi [2], White [3], and Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot [4]. More advanced texts [56] cover unsteady solutions using separation of variables. Asymptotic approximations used to describe perturbations to these flows are discussed in Bruus’s microfluidics text [7] and Leal’s Advanced Transport Phenomena text [6], in addition to Van Dyke’s classic monograph [8].
