Figure shows two parallel plates (upper plate at
and lower one at
) of length L (aligned in
direction) and infinite width (in
direction, normal to the plane of the figure). Two immiscible, incompressible liquids are flowing steadily in the
direction through the thin passage between the plates under the influence of horizontal pressure gradient
. During the flow, the passage is always half-filled with denser fluid I (viscosity
) at the bottom and rest is occupied by lighter fluid II (viscosity
;
). Considering exactly planar interface between the fluids and no instabilities in the flow, the shear stress,
is expressed as:
Which one of the following options correctly identifies the location of the point having maximum velocity of the flow?
