Abstract
The Navier – Stokes equations were used to obtain the velocity profile for two different fluid flow problems, firstly to a laminar flow through a pipe and secondly to flow of incompressible fluid between two boundaries, one boundary is the air and the other boundary moving with a velocity, inclined at an angle . The velocity profiles were obtained and presented in a diagram of showing how the fluid flow through the channels.
