Abstract
In problems of lubrication and other low velocity flow fields, creeping flow assumptions are approximations that allow simplification of the Navier-Stokes equations of motion. As velocities, or, more generally, the Reynolds numbers increase, it is no longer a valid approximation to use the assumption of creeping flow. One must then use the Navier-Stokes equations in their nonlinear form. The solution to a problem that requires the use of the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equation is the subject of this thesis. Specifically the problem is to solve the nonlinear equations of motion describing the flow field in the gap between a porous disk and an impermeable disk for an arbitrary unsteay flow velocity through the porous disk. A perturbation technique is used to obtain this solution.
