Abstract
The axisymmetric steady flow of a couple stress fluid between two concentric cylinders with a slip effect is investigated with the help of the cell model technique. Here, the inner cylinder is rigid, and the outer cylinder is fictitious. The tangential slip, vanishing of normal velocity, and zero couple stress conditions are applied on the inner cylindrical surface. In addition, zero shear stress (Happel's model), continuity of normal velocity component, and zero couple stress conditions are used on the outer cylindrical surface. We consider two flow problems: the first is the parallel flow, and the second is the perpendicular flow to the cylinder in the cell model. Also, we have discussed the random case. For all the cases, the Kozeny constant is calculated. We described some special cases and compared them with well-known results. The effects of slip and couple stress parameters on the Kozeny constant with fixed value of couple stress viscosity parameter are presented graphically. The influence of the couple stress viscosity parameter on the Kozeny constant with fixed values of couple stress, and slip parameters for parallel flow are expressed graphically. The numerical values for the Kozeny constant for different values of fractional void volume are tabulated. We also obtained the results of the consistent couple stress theory as a special case.
