Notes:
The laminar, isothermal entrance region flow of the Bingham fluid in a circular pipe is studied at first by using the momentum integral method and the boundary-layer equation for the Bingham fluid. In addition to the velocity boundary layer, the existence of the shear stress boundary layer is considered. The solution is valid only near the entry because of limitation of the boundary-layer model. The Campbell-Slattery method originally devised for the Newtonian fluid is also used to analyze the Bingham entrance region flow. The results are compared with those obtained through the use of the momentum integral method and those obtained through the use of the variational method by other investigators. While the results obtained in this work appear to be generally reasonable and valid, the results by the other investigators have been found to be somewhat erroneous.
