Solution of a Boundary Value Problem for Velocity-Linearized Navier–Stokes Equations in the Case of a Heated Spherical Solid Particle Settling in Fluid

Abstract

Assuming that the fluid viscosity is an exponential-power function of temperature, a boundary value problem for the Navier–Stokes equations linearized with respect to velocity is solved and the uniqueness of the solution is proved. The problem of a nonuniformly heated spherical solid particle settling in fluid is considered as an application.
