    which can be shown to be a series of trigonometric sine waves. Harmonies becomemathematical ratios which can occur in everything.Music is a primary illustration of the ability of individuals to unknowingly appreciate geometryand mathematics, even when theyre not serious thinkers. Music is basically about ratios,frequencies , and timing . There is also a strong geometrical connection, in that, if one takesthe unique right triangle , and strings a continuous fine wire to each of the three points of thetriangle, it is then possible to tune one of the sides to a particular note, and have the other

    two sides be in a tuned harmony. The three sides of the triangle form a series of tones thatare equivalent to the first three strings of a tuned guitar. Every musical pulse consists ofnumerous sine-wave tones. Even a square wave is made up of a large number of oddharmonics, and thus by extrapolation, a truly infinite pulse would consist of allpossible puretones. The manner in which musicians examine a spectrum of musical harmonies is, in fact,exactly the same procedure mathematicians call a Fourier Transform. The sum of all musicalfrequencies thus constitutes the whole of the universe.Music is the art of organizing tones to produce a coherent sequence of sounds intended toelicit an aesthetic response in a listener. Music can incite passion, belligerence, serenity, fear,or sadness. Interestingly one can play the national anthem on guitar using the number andtiming technique. Usually a guitar consists of 21 frets (the metallic strips on the neck of theguitar). If the six horizontal lines represents the six strings of guitar and the numberrepresents the position on the fret board (the neck of guitar) then following the below patternone can play the national anthem on guitar.

Formusicians, who had begun their training before the age of 7, they actually increased the sizeof their brains -- specifically the corpus callosum -the trunk line which connects the brainsright and left hemispheres. This neural path increase may also explain why the bettermusicians are not only technically adept (the left brains partiality to cognition), but can playwith emotion (the right brains forte).

    Abstract: Couette flows of a Maxwell fluid produced by the motion of a flat plate are analyzed under the slip condition at boundaries.

    The bottom plate is assumed to be translated in its plane with a given velocity. The flow of the fluid is studied in the assumption that

    the relative velocity between the fluid at the wall and the wall is proportional to the shear rate at the wall. Exact expressions for velo-

    city and shear stress are determined by means of a Laplace transform. The velocity fields corresponding to both slip and non slip con-

    ditions for Maxwell and Newtonian fluids are obtained. Two particular cases, namely translation with constant velocity and sinusoidal

    oscillations of the bottom plate, are studied. Results for Maxwell fluids are compared with those of Newtonian fluids in both cases

    with slip and non slip conditions. Some properties of the flow are also presented.

    Keywords: Maxwell fluid, couette flows, wall slip condition.

    1. Introduction

    Since 1867 J.C.Maxwell (1831-1879) observed that somefluids, such as air, exhibit both viscous and elastic behaviours.The constitutive relation, in modern notations, proposedby Maxwell for these fluids is given by [1-3]

    S + (S LS SL

    T

    ) = A, (1)

    where S is the extra stress tensor, L is the velocity gradi-ent,A = L+LT is the first Rivlin-Erickson tensor, ( 0)and (> 0) are the relaxation time and dynamic viscos-ity, respectively, and the superposed dot indicates the ma-terial time derivative. Maxwell fluids also can be consid-ered as a special case of a Jeffreys-Oldroyd B fluid, whichcontain both relaxation and retardation time coefficients[1]. Maxwells constitutive relation can be recovered fromthat corresponding to Jeffreys-Oldroyd B fluids by settingthe retardation time to be zero. The fluids described by(1) are referred to as viscoelastic fluids of Maxwell type,or simply Maxwell fluids. Several fluids, such as glyc-

    erin, crude oils or some polymeric solutions, behave asMaxwell fluids. The reference [4] contains more examples

    of this type of fluids. The Maxwell model has been the sub-ject of study for many researchers. The first exact solutionof Stokes first problem, also known as Rayleighs prob-lem, for Maxwell fluids was given by Tanner [5]. Othersolutions of Stokes first problem for Maxwell fluids, to-gether some interesting properties, have been obtained byJordan et al [6], Jordan and Puri [7] and, for Oldroyd B

    fluid, by Christov [8]. The unsteady Couette flow of a Maxwellfluid between two infinite parallel plates was studied byDenn and Porteous [9] while, for second grade dipolarfluids, by Jordan [10] and Jordan and Puri [11]. Interest-ing subjects and solutions regarding the Couette or Stokesflows of non-Newtonian fluids can be found in reference[12-15]. In aforementioned papers the assumption that aliquid adheres to the solid boundary, so called nonslip bound-ary condition, was considered fulfilled. The nonslip bound-ary condition is one of the basic principles in which themechanics of the linearly viscous fluids was built. Manyexperiments are in favour of the nonslip boundary condi-tion for a large class of flows. An interesting discussionregarding the acceptance of the nonslip condition can be

    found in [16]. Even if the nonslip condition has provedto be successful for a great variety of flows, it has been

    30 Dumitru Vieru et al : Some couette flows of a Maxwell fluid with wall slip condition

    found to be inadequate in several situations, such as prob-lems involving multiple interfaces, flows in micro chan-nels or in wavy tubes, flows of polymeric liquids or flowsof rarefid fluids. Many years ago, Navier [17] proposed aslip boundary condition wherein the relative velocity (theslip velocity) depended linearly on the shear stress. A largenumber of models have been proposed for describing theslip that occurs at solid boundaries. Many of them can befound in the reference [18]. One of the early studies ofthe slip at the boundary was under taken by Monney [19].Recently, several papers regarding flows of Newtonian ornon-Newtonian fluids with slip at the boundary have beenpublished. Khalid and Vafai [20] were studied the effect ofthe slip condition on Stokes and Coutte flows due to an os-cillating wall; Vieru and Rauf [21] analyzed Stokes flowsof a Maxwell fluid with wall slip condition; the Coutte

    flow of a third grade fluid with rotating frame and slipcondition was studied by Abelman et al [22]. Many in-teresting and useful results regarding solutions for flowsof non-Newtonian fluids with slip effects are in references[23-25].

    In this study, Couette flows of a Maxwell fluid pro-duced by the motion of a flat plate are analyzed under theassumption of the slip boundary conditions between theplates and the fluid. The motion of the bottom plate is arectilinear translation in its plane with velocity uw(t) =Uof(t) , while the upper plate is at rest. Exact expressionsfor velocity and shear stress are determined by means ofa Laplace transform for Maxwell and Newtonian fluids.

    Expressions of the relative velocity are determined, andthe solutions corresponding to flows with nonslip at theboundary are also presented. Two particular cases, namelythe translation of the bottom plate with a constant veloc-ity and sinusoidal oscillations are studied. In each case,the expression of the velocity is written as a sum betweenthe permanent solution and the transient solution. Forlarge values of time t the transient solution tends to zeroand the fluid flows according to the permanent solution.Some relevant properties of the velocity and comparisonsbetween solutions with slip and nonslip at the boundariesare presented.

    2. Problem formulation and solution

    Consider an infinite solid plane wall situated in the (x,z)-plane of Cartesian coordinate system with the positive yaxis in the upward direction. The second infinite solidplane wall occupies the plane y = h > 0. Let an incom-pressible, homogeneous Maxwell fluid fill the slab y (0, h). Initially, the fluid and plates are at rest. At the mo-ment t = 0+, the fluid is set in motion by the bottom plate,which begins to translate along the xaxis with the veloc-ity uw(t) = Uof(t), where Uo > 0 is a constant and f(t)is a piecewise continuous function defined on [0,) andf(0) = 0. Also, we suppose that the Laplace transform of

    the function f(.) exists. In the case of parallel flow alongthe x axis, the velocity vector is v = (u(y, t), 0, 0)while the constitutive relation and the governing equationare given by [7, 8, 21]

    where (y, t) = Sxy(y, t) is one of the nonzero compo-nent of the extra stress tensor and is the constant densityof the fluid. In this paper, we consider the existence of slipat the walls and assume that the relative velocity between

    the velocity of the fluid at the wall and wall is proportionalto the shear rate at the wall [20,21]. The boundary condi-tions due to wall slip as well as the initial conditions are

    u(h, t) + u(h, t)

    2.1. Velocity field

    By applying the temporal Laplace transform, L{

    .}

    [26],to Eqs. (9)-(11) and using the initial conditions (12)1,2 weobtain the following set of equations:

    2u(y, q)

    y2 R(q2 + q)u(y, q) = 0 (13)

    u(0, q) u(0, q)y

    = G(q) = L{q(t)} (14)

    u(1, q) + u(1, q)

    y= 0 (15)

    where qis the Laplace transform parameter and u(y, q) =L{

    u(y, t)}

    . The solution of differential equation (13) withthe boundary conditions (14) and (15) is given by

    u(y, q) = G(q)G1(y, q) (16)

    where

    G1(y, q) =

    =sh[(1y)

    Rw(q)]+

    Rw(q)ch[(1y)

    Rw(q)]

    [1+2Rw(q)]sh[

    Rw(q)]+2

    Rw(q)]

    (17)

    and

    w(q) = (q2 + q) = [(q+1

    2)2 ( 1

    2)2]. (18)

    In order to determine the inverse Laplace transform of func-

    tion G1(y, q) , we consider the auxiliary function

    F1(y, q) =sh[(1 y)Rq] + Rqch[(1 y)Rq](1 + 2Rq)sh(

    Rq) + 2

    Rqch(

    Rq)

    (19)

    Observing that the singular points of F1(y, q) are simplepoles located at

    qn = pn2

    R, n = 1, 2,... (20)

    where pn = 0 are the real roots of the equation

    tan(pn) =2pn

    2pn2

    1

    , (21)

    we invert function F1(y, q) by using the residue theoremto evaluate the Laplace inversion integral [26]. Such that,after simplifying, we obtain

    f1(y, t) = L1{F1(y, q)} =

    n=1

    Res[F1(y, q)eqt, qn] =

    = 2pnR

    sin(ypn)+pn cos(ypn)(1+2)+2pn2

    .(23)

    By comparing (17) and (19) we observe that G1(y, q) =F1[y, w(q)] and, using the inverse Laplace transform for

    composed functions (see (A1) and (A2) from the AppendixA), we obtain

    g1(y, t) = L1{G1(y, q)} =

    0

    3. Some particular cases of the motion of the

    plate

    In this section we consider two functions correspondingto the motion of the bottom plate, namely f(t) = H(t)

    and f(t) = sin(t) , with > 0 being a constant. Wechoose the characteristic time T = 1 , for the dimension-less variables and functions given by Eq.(7), and obtaing(t) = H(t) and g(t) = sin t , respectively.

    3.1. Solution for the translation of the bottom

    plate with a constant velocity

    The motion of the bottom plate is given by the functiong(t) = H(t) and the velocity u(y, t) is obtained from Eqs.(29), (31), (33) and (36) with g(t s) = 1 . The veloc-ity fields corresponding to this type of the motion have the

    following expressions:

    for Newtonian fluids. By using the illustrations generatedwith the software Mathcad, we discuss some relevant phys-ical aspects of the flow. Also, the roots pn , n = 1, 2,.... ,of Eq.(21) are determined by means of the software root(f(x), x , a , b) from Mathcad. For the dimensionless slipcoefficient, {0.4, 0.7} the rootspn are presented in theTable 1 from the Appendix A. In the figures, we use =

    Uo = 0.6m/s, = 0.14m. The Reynolds number cor-responding to aforementioned values is R = 3.4962934,the dimensionless slip coefficient is = 0.7 and the di-mensionless relaxation time is = 0.44. Also, we use thefollowing abbreviations for dimensionless velocities:uM s,the velocity for Maxwell fluid with slip at the wall; uM, thevelocity for Maxwell fluid with nonslip at the wall; uN s,the velocity for Newtonian fluid with slip at the wall; uN,the velocity for Newtonian fluid with nonslip at the wall. InFig. 1 we show the dimensionless velocity, u(y, t), versus tfor y {0.05, 0.25, 0.85} . For comparison, we have plot-ted the functions corresponding to Maxwell and Newto-nian fluids with both slip and nonslip boundary conditions.For a fixed value of the spatial variable y, the velocity cor-responding to a Maxwell fluid with slip at the boundaryis zero for a short time, after that, is increasing and tends

    towards the stationary solution ustMs given by Eq. (47).The velocity corresponding to Maxwell fluid with nonslipcondition has a non uniform variation at the beginning ofthe motion after that approaches to the stationary solu-tion ustM(y, t) = 1y. For Newtonian fluids, the velocityis larger in the case of a nonslip than in the case of slip atthe boundary near the bottom plate. For large values of thetime t they tend to the stationary solutions ustNs = u

    stMs

    , respectively ustN = ustM . Fig. 2 shows the diagrams of

    velocity u(y, t) corresponding to Maxwell and Newtonianfluids for both slip and non slip conditions. The velocitywas plotted versus y for t {0.5, 1.5, 2.5} . For small val-ues of time t the Newtonian fluid with slip at the wall is

    slower than the Maxwell fluid with slip condition near thelower plate and faster near upper plate. For increasing tthe Newtonian fluid with slip condition is slower than theMaxwell fluid throughout domain of flow. In Fig.3 we haveplotted the relative velocity corresponding to Maxwell andNewtonian fluids versus t for two values of the dimension-less slip coefficient . In absolute value, the relative ve-locity decreases with increasing values ofand flatten outfor large values of time t.

    3.2. Solution for the sinusoidal oscillations of

    the bottom plate

    In this section we consider for the motion of the bottomplate the function g(t) = sin t. The velocity fields cor-responding to this type of motion are given by Eqs. (29),(31), (33) and (36) in which g(ts) is replaced by sin(ts).a. Integrating by parts into Eq. (29), this yields after somesimplifications, the velocity field corresponding to the flowof a Maxwell fluid with slip at the wall

    Figure 4 Plot of the u(y, t) versus t for both cases with slip andnonslip condition.

    In Fig. 4 we plotted the velocity u(y, t) and the per-manent solutions corresponding to Maxwell and Newto-nian fluids with both slip and non slip boundary condi-tions. These functions were presented versus t for y {0.05, 0.25, 0.85} and, it is evident that the difference be-tween the velocity u(y, t) and the permanent velocityis significant only for small values of the time . We seethat in the considered case, after the moment t = 4 forMaxwell fluid with slip at the wall, respectively t = 6 forthe Maxwell fluid with non slip condition the transient ve-locities utMs (y, t) = uMs (y, t) uMsp (y, t), utM(y, t) =uM(y, t)

    uMp (y, t) can be neglected. For Newtonian flu-

    ids t = 6 in the case of the flow with slip at the walland t = 4 in the case of nonslip at the wall. After these

The curves cor-responding to the slip and nonslip boundary conditions,for Maxwell and Newtonian fluids were considered. At thesmall values of time the Maxwell fluid has not a monotonouflow. After the value t = 1 , the absolute values of the ve-locity corresponding to both types of Maxwell fluids in-crease for increasing y. The absolute values of the velocitycorresponding to both cases of Newtonian fluids increasefor increasing y and for all values of the time t . In Fig.

    4. Conclusion

    Couette flows of a Maxwell Fluid were analyzed under slipconditions between the fluid and walls. The motion of the

    bottom plate was assumed to be a rectilinear translation inits plane while, the upper plate is at rest. Two particularcases, namely translation with constant velocity and sinu-soidal oscillations of the bottom plate, were considered.The relative velocity between the fluid at the wall and thewall was assumed to be proportional to the shear rate atthe wall. The exact expressions for the velocity u(y, t) andshear stress, have been determined by means of Laplacetransform. For a complete study and for comparisons, wepresented velocity fields corresponding to both flows (withslip and nonslip conditions) for Maxwell and Newtonianfluids. The expressions of the relative velocity have alsobeen determined. If the bottom plate translates with the

    constant velocity then the velocity fields corresponding tothe four types of the flows were written as sums betweenthe stationary solutions and transient solutions. For largevalues of the time t the transient solutions can be neglectedand the fluid flows according to the stationary solutions.For Maxwell fluids the velocity is zero a short period afterthe staring of the motion. After this period the values ofthe velocity increase for increasing time t and tend to thevalues of the stationary solutions. For Newtonian fluids thevelocities are increasing functions oft. The velocity corre-sponding to the flow with slip condition is smaller than thevelocity for the flow with non slip condition for both typesof fluids (see Fig. 1 and 2). The relative velocity, in abso-

    lute value, is a decreasing function of the slip coefficient (see Fig. 3). For sinusoidal oscillations of the plate the ex-pressions of the velocities corresponding to the four typesof flows were written as the sums between the permanentsolutions and transient solutions. In each case two equiv-alent forms of the permanent solution were presented. Thedifference between the velocity u(y, t) and the permanentsolution is significant only for the small values of the timet (see Fig. 4).For large values of the time t the fluids flowaccording to the permanent solutions. The velocity fieldu(y, t) versus y, in absolute terms, is a decreasing function(see Fig. 5), and the relative velocity, in absolute terms isan increasing function of the slip coefficient . The soft-ware Mathcad 14.0 was used for numerical calculations

    and to generate the diagrams presented herein and the rootsof Eq. (21) (See Table 1 from Appendix A).

    mental rehearsals can activate the same regions of the brain as actual practice, and similarlyaffect the synapses!The numerous references to proportion and ratio in music and mathematics deserve a bitmore consideration. In a survey, infants were found to smile when music was played, whichconsisted of perfect fourths and perfect fifths -- i.e. chords or sequences which are separatedby either five half steps (as between C and F) or seven half steps (as between C and G),respectively. Babies, however, did notlike tritones, where two notes were separated by six

    half steps (e.g. C and F sharp).Its hard for anyone to say what music looks like, but a new mathematical approach seesclassical music as cone-shaped and jazz as pyramid-like.The connections between math and music are many, from the unproven Mozart effect to themusic of the spheres -the ancient belief that proportions in the movements of the planetscould be viewed as a form of music. Now scientists have created a mathematical system forunderstanding music.Clifton Callender of Florida State University, Ian Quinn of Yale University and Dmitri Tymoczkoof Princeton University have presented their "geometrical music theory".The team designed a geometrical technique for mapping out music in coordinate space. Formusic made of chords containing two notes, all musical possibilities take the shape of a Mobiusstrip, which basically looks like a twisted rubber band. It is found that the shape of possibilitiesusing three-note chords is a three-dimensional cone, where types of chords, such as majorchords and minor chords, are unique points on the cone. The space of four-note chords is

    what mathematicians would call a "cone over the real projective plane," which resembles apyramid in our 3-D universe. Any piece of music can be mapped in these spaces.You can use these geometrical spaces to provide ways of visualizing musical pieces, Thesespaces gives a much better and comprehensive picture of the space of all possible chords.It's probably no coincidence that math and music are so deeply linked,when music doesn't have words, it doesn't necessarily resemble anything in the real world.Traditionally, paintings always looked like things; poetry and literature were talking aboutthings. But music is coming closer to pure truth.The new techniques reveal fascinating differences between rock and classical music, and evenbetween Paul McCartney and John Lennon.One of the really exciting things about this research is that it allows seeing commonalitiesamong a much wider range of musicians.By looking at the mathematical essence behind the work of various musicians and musicalstyles, the scientists can better understand how they relate to one another.

    Over the course of the 18th and 19th centurys people start exploring a wider variety ofgeometrical spaces. There's a general push toward increasing complexity and sophistication.They move from the three-dimensional cone to the four-dimensional space.While analyzing the math behind music can provide many insights. There is no way thatgeometry is going to help you become a great composer. Understanding the geometry willhelp to become a mediocre composer much more quickly, but composing is an artisticachievement. There's no royal road to becoming a great musician. Mathematics is not takingthe mystery away from music.
