Comparation of liquid film drains down insideand outside the straw

问题描述

一个最近在看Panton的《Incompressible Fluid Mechanic》其中一个有趣的问题：水流顺着吸管流下是沿着外壁流下得快还是内壁流下得快。
A liquid film drains down the outside of a rod of radius a at flow rate Q as shown in the sketch. At some distance down the rod, the gravitational forces balance the shear forces and the flow becomes fully developed, i.e. the thickness of the film no longer changes with z position. Assume incompressible laminar flow and negligible interaction between the atmosphere and the flow. Find an expression for vz® and a relation between Q and the film radius b.

Now consider the case of a liquid film draining down the inside surface of a straw. All other conditions are as described above. Does the liquid drain faster or slower?
