    You have seen an example of solving Navier-Stokes equations for flow in a circular tube of radius R (Poiseuille flow). In those instances, the tube is horizontal, and flow is along the horizontal axis (z-axis in cylindrical coordinates). Now imagine if the tube is turned 90° so that the flow is downward and is now parallel to gravity g (A) Start with the Navier-Stokes equations, set up the problem, and clearly indicate what assumptions are used in your simplification of...
