摘要
A variational approach is proposed to study the Stokes flow in a two-dimensional non-uniform channel. By using the stationarity of the Lagrangian, the Euler-Lagrange equations are established which leads to a simple set of ordinary differential equations to provide an estimate for the average pressure drop explicitly in terms of the channel shape function. The results for the pressure drop show an excellent agreement with the second-order extended lubrication theory. A higher-order formulation further improves the accuracy of the results for the pressure drop along the channel.
