Transport in ordered and disordered porous media V: Geometrical results for two-dimensional systems

In this paper we continue the geometrical studies of computer generated two-phase systems that were presented in Part IV. In order to reduce the computational time associated with the previous three-dimensional studies, the calculations presented in this work are restricted to two dimensions. This allows us to explore more thoroughly the influence of the size of the averaging volume and to learn something about the use of anon-representative region in the determination of averaged quantities.

Flow in porous media III: Deformable media

Stokes flow in a deformable medium is considered in terms of an isotropic, linearly elastic solid matrix. The analysis is restricted to steady forms of the momentum equations and small deformation of the solid phase. Darcy's law can be used to determine the motion of the fluid phase; however, the determination of the Darcy's law permeability tensor represents part of the closure problem in which the position of the fluid-solid interface must be determined.Roman Letters A interfacial area of the- interface contained within the macroscopic system, m² - A interfacial area of the- interface contained within the averaging volume, m² - A _e area of entrances and exits for the-phase contained within the macroscopic system, m² - A ^* interfacial area of the- interface contained within a unit cell, m² - A _e ^* area of entrances and exits for the-phase contained within a unit cell, m² - E Young's modulus for the-phase, N/m² - e i unit base vectors (i = 1, 2, 3) - g gravity vector, m²/s - H height of elastic, porous bed, m - k unit base vector (=e ₃) - characteristic length scale for the-phase, m - L characteristic length scale for volume-averaged quantities, m - n unit normal vector pointing from the-phase toward the-phase (n = -n ) - p pressure in the-phase, N/m² - P p – g·r, N/m² - r ₀ radius of the averaging volume, m - r position vector, m - t time, s - T total stress tensor in the-phase, N/m² - T ⁰ hydrostatic stress tensor for the-phase, N/m² - u displacement vector for the-phase, m - V averaging volume, m₃ - V volume of the-phase contained within the averaging volume, m³ - v velocity vector for the-phase, m/s Greek Letters V /V, volume fraction of the-phase - mass density of the-phase, kg/m³ - shear coefficient of viscosity for the-phase, Nt/m² - first Lamé coefficient for the-phase, N/m² - second Lamé coefficient for the-phase, N/m² - bulk coefficient of viscosity for the-phase, Nt/m² - T –T ⁰ , a deviatoric stress tensor for the-phase, N/m²     

On the prediction of riblet performance with engineering turbulence models

The paper reports the outcome of a numerical study of fully developed flow through a plane channel composed of ribleted surfaces adopting a two-equation turbulence model to describe turbulent mixing. Three families of riblets have been examined: idealized blade-type, V-groove and a novel U-form that, according to computations, achieves a superior performance to that of the commercial V-groove configuration. The maximum drag reduction attained for any particular geometry is broadly in accord with experiment though this optimum occurs for considerably larger riblet heights than measurements indicate. Further explorations bring out a substantial sensitivity in the level of drag reduction to the channel Reynolds number below values of 15 000 as well as to the thickness of the blade riblet. The latter is in accord with the trends of very recent, independent experimental studies.Possible shortcomings in the model of turbulence are discussed particularly with reference to the absence of any turbulence-driven secondary motions when an isotropic turbulent viscosity is adopted. For illustration, results are obtained for the case where a stress transport turbulence model is adopted above the riblet crests, an elaboration that leads to the formation of a plausible secondary motion sweeping high momentum fluid towards the wall close to the riblet and thereby raising momentum transport.Nomenclature c _f Skin friction coefficient - c _f Skin friction coefficient in smooth channel at the same Reynolds number - k Turbulent kinetic energy - K ⁺ k/ _w - h Riblet height - S Riblet width - H Half height of channel - Re Reynolds number = volume flow/unit width/ - Modified turbulent Reynolds number - R _t turbulent Reynolds numberk ²/ - P _k Shear production rate ofk, _t (U _i /x _j + U _j /x _i ) U _i /x _j - dP/dz Streamwise static pressure gradient - U _i Mean velocity vector (tensor notation) - U Friction velocity, _w/ where _w=–H dP/dz - W Mean velocity - W _b Bulk mean velocity through channel - y ⁺ yU /v.

On the cross-effects of coupled macroscopic transport equations in porous media

In this paper, the derivation of macroscopic transport equations for this cases of simultaneous heat and water, chemical and water or electrical and water fluxes in porous media is presented. Based on themicro-macro passage using the method of homogenization of periodic structures, it is shown that the resulting macroscopic equations reveal zero-valued cross-coupling effects for the case of heat and water transport as well as chemical and water transport.

Viscoelastic swirling flow with free surface in cylindrical chambers

The flow of a viscoelastic liquid driven by the steadily rotating bottom cover of a cylindrical cup is investigated. The flow field and the shape of the free surface are determined at the lowest significant orders of the regular domain perturbation in terms of the angular velocity of the bottom cap. The meridional field superposed on a primary azimuthal field shows a structure of multiple cells. The velocity field and the shape of the free surface are strongly effected by the cylinder aspect ratio and the elasticity of the liquid. The use of this flow configuration as a free surface rheometer to determine the first two Rivlin-Ericksen constants is shown to be promising.Nomenclature R, ,Z Coordinates in the physical domain D - , , Coordinates in the rest stateD ₀ - r, ,z Dimensionless coordinates in the rest stateD ₀ - Angular velocity - Zero shear viscosity - Surface tension coefficient - Density - Dimensionless surface tension parameter - ₁, ₂ The first two Rivlin-Ericksen constants - Stream function - Dimensionless second order meridional stream function - ^* Dimensionless second normal stress function - 2 Dimensionless sum of the first and second normal stress functions - N ₁,N ₂ The first and second normal stress functions - n Unit normal vector - D Stretching tensor - A _n nth order Rivlin-Ericksen tensor - S Extra-stress - u Velocity field - U Dimensionless second order meridional velocity field - V Dimensionless first order azimuthal velocity field - p Pressure - Modified pressure field - P Dimensionless second order pressure field - J Mean curvature - a Cylinder radius - d Liquid depth at rest - D Dimensionless liquid depth at rest - h Free surface height - H Dimensionless free surface height at the second order     

Magnetohydrodynamic natural convection heat transfer from radiate vertical porous surfaces

Magnetohydrodynamic natural convection heat transfer from radiate vertical surfaces with fluid suction or injection is considered. The nonsimilarity parameter is found to be the conductive fluid injection or suction along the streamwise coordinate = V{4x/² g(T _w – T )}^1/4. Three dimensionless parameters had been found to describe the problem: the magnetic influence number N = B ² _y /V ², the radiation-conduction parameter R _d = k _R /4aT ³ , and the Gebhart number Ge _x = gx/cp to represent the effect of the viscous dissipation. It is found that increasing the magnetic field strength causes the velocity and the heat transfer rates inside the boundary layer to decrease. Its apparent that increasing the radiation-conduction parameter decreases the velocity and enhances the heat transfer rates. The Gebhart number, i.e, the viscous dissipation had no effect on the present problem.Nomenclature a Stefan-Boltzmann constant - B _y Magnetic field flux density Wb/m² - Cf _x Local skin friction factor - c _p Specific heat capacity - f Dimensionless stream function - Ge _x Gebhart number, gx/cp - g Gravitational acceleration - k Thermal Conductivity - L Length of the plate - N Magnetic influence number, B ² _y /V ² - p Pressure - Pr Prandtl number - q _r Radiative heat flux - q _w (x) Local surface heat flux - Q _w (x) Dimensionless Local surface heat flux - R _d Planck number (Radiation-Conduction parameter), k _R /4aT ³ - T Temperature - T Free stream temperature - T _w Wall temperature - u, v Velocity components in x- and y-directions - V Porous wall suction or injection velocity - V _w Porous wall suction or injection velocity - x, y Axial and normal coordinates - Thermal diffusivity Greek symbols _R Roseland mean absorption coefficient, 4/3R _d - Coefficient of thermal expansion - Nonsimilarity parameter, V{4x/² g(T _w – T )}^1/4 - Peseudo-similarity variable - Dimensionless temperature - _w Ratio of surface temperature to the ambient temperature, T _w /T - Dynamice viscosity - Kinemtic viscosity - Fluid density - Electrical conductivity - _w Local wall shear stress - Dimensional stream function     

Propagation of a spherical wave in nonlinearly compressible and elastoplastic materials

The problem of spherical wave propagation in soil under the action of an intense uniformly decreasing load ₀(t) applied to the boundary of a cavity with radius r₀ is considered. Soil with a high stress level is modeled either by ideally nonlinearly compressible or elastoplastic material, taking account of linear irreversible unloading for the material. In contrast to [1–7], in order to describe material movement use is made of strain theory [8] with determining functions = (), _i=_i(_i), where , _i, , _i are the first and second invariants of strain and stress tensors. During material loading these functions are presented in the form of polynomials ()=(_i+₂¦¦), _ii)=(_i-_2i)_i, in which constant coefficients _i, _i=1, 2) are determined by experiment, taking account of the triaxial stressed state of soil. Solution of the problem is constructed by an analytically reversible method, with prescribed shape for the shock-wave (SW) surface in the form of a second-degree polynomial relating to time t and a numerical method of characteristics for a prescribed arbitrarily decreasing load _i(t). On the basis of the analytical equations obtained, calculations are carried out for material parameters (including loading profile) in a computer and stresses and mass velocity of plastic and elastoplastic materials are compared.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 4, pp. 95–100, July–August, 1986.The authors express their sincere thanks to Kh.

Mixed convection on vertical plate for fluids of any prandtl number

A mixed convection parameter=(Ra) ^1/4/(Re)^1/2, with=Pr/(1+Pr) and=Pr/(1 +Pr)^1/2, is proposed to replace the conventional Richardson number, Gr/Re², for combined forced and free convection flow on an isothermal vertical plate. This parameter can readily be reduced to the controlling parameters for the relative importance of the forced and the free convection,Ra ^1/4/(Re ^1/2 Pr ^1/3) forPr 1, and (RaPr)^1/2/(RePr ^1/2 forPr 1. Furthermore, new coordinates and dependent variables are properly defined in terms of, so that the transformed nonsimilar boundary-layer equations give numerical solutions that are uniformly valid over the entire range of mixed convection intensity from forced convection limit to free convection limit for fluids of any Prandtl number from 0.001 to 10,000. The effects of mixed convection intensity and the Prandtl number on the velocity profiles, the temperature profiles, the wall friction, and the heat transfer rate are illustrated for both cases of buoyancy assisting and opposing flow conditions.

Zusammenfassung Für die kombinierte Zwangs- und freie Konvektion an einer isothermen senkrechten Platte wird ein Mischkonvektions-Parameter=( Ra) ^1/4 (Re)^1/2, mit=Pr/(1 +Pr) und=Pr/(1 +Pr)^1/2 vorgeschlagen, den die gebräuchliche Richardson-Zahl, Gr/Re², ersetzen soll.

Transport in ordered and disordered porous media IV: Computer generated porous media for three-dimensional systems

In the method of volume averaging, the difference between ordered and disordered porous media appears at two distinct points in the analysis, i.e. in the process of spatial smoothing and in the closure problem. In theclosure problem, the use of spatially periodic boundary conditions isconsistent with ordered porous media and the fields under consideration when the length-scale constraint,r ₀L is satisfied. For disordered porous media, spatially periodic boundary conditions are an approximation in need of further study.In theprocess of spatial smoothing, average quantities must be removed from area and volume integrals in order to extractlocal transport equations fromnonlocal equations. This leads to a series of geometrical integrals that need to be evaluated. In Part II we indicated that these integrals were constants for ordered porous media provided that the weighting function used in the averaging process contained thecellular average. We also indicated that these integrals were constrained by certain order of magnitude estimates for disordered porous media. In this paper we verify these characteristics of the geometrical integrals, and we examine their values for pseudo-periodic and uniformly random systems through the use of computer generated porous media.

An experimental study on the two-dimensional opposed wall jet in a turbulent boundary layer: Change in the flow pattern with velocity ratio

Results of the measurement of flow properties in a two-dimensional turbulent wall jet which is injected into the turbulent boundary layer in the direction opposite to that of the boundary layer flow are presented by varying the ratio of the jet issuing velocity to the mainstream velocity . This flow includes the flow separation and the recirculating flow, and so it requires the magnitude and direction of instantaneous velocity be measured. In the present work, a tandem hot-wire probe is manufactured and its characteristics are examined experimentally. With the use of this probe the change in the penetration length of the jet with the velocity ratio is investigated. It is clarified that two regimes of flow patterns exist: in the low velocity ratio the penetration length of the jet changes little with , and in the high velocity ratio it goes far from the nozzle with increasing . Streamlines, turbulence intensity contours and static pressure contours are presented in the two typical velocity ratios corresponding to each of two flow patterns, and they are compared.List of symbols b ₀ nozzle width (Fig. 1) - , e mean and fluctuating output voltages of hot-wire anemometer - p, p mean static pressure, p = p – p _o - p ₀ static pressure in undisturbed mainstream - p _w , p _w mean wall pressure, p _w = p _w – p _o - U ₀ mainstream velocity - U _j jet velocity at the nozzle exit - , u mean and fluctuating velocity components in x-direction - u _e effective cooling velocity - x distance along the wall from nozzle exit - x _pmax, x _pmin positions where the wall pressure has maximum and minimum values respectively - x _s penetration length of jet - y distance from the wall - forward flow fraction - ₁, ₂ yaw and pitch angles of flow direction (Fig. 4) - velocity ratio, = U _j /U _o - density of the fluid - nondimensional stream function The authors wish to express their appreciation to Prof. Toshio Tanaka of Gifu University for his advice in the course of the experiment.

On the influence of transvers-curvature and density in inhomogeneous turbulent free jets

The prediction of turbulent flows based on the k- model is extended to include the influence of transverse-curvature and density on the turbulent transport mechanisms. The empirical constants involved are adjusted such that the best agreement between predictions and experimental results is obtained. Using a transformation the boundary layer equations are solved numerically by means of a finite difference method of Hermitian type. The extended model is applied to predict the axisymmetric jet with variable density. The results of the calculations are in agreement with measurements.

Free convection heat transfer from an isothermal plate with arbitrary inclination

This paper presents a new formulation for the laminar free convection from an arbitrarily inclined isothermal plate to fluids of any Prandtl number between 0.001 and infinity. A novel inclination parameter is proposed such that all cases of the horizontal, inclined and vertical plates can be described by a single set of transformed equations. Moreover, the self-similar equations for the limiting cases of the horizontal and vertical plates are recovered from the transformed equations by setting=0 and=1, respectively. Heated upward-facing plates with positive and negative inclination angles are investigated. A very accurate correlation equation of the local Nusselt number is developed for arbitrary inclination angle and for 0.001 Pr .

The Gibbs-Thompson relation within the gradient theory of phase transitions

This paper discusses the asymptotic behavior as 0+ of the chemical potentials associated with solutions of variational problems within the Van der Waals-Cahn-Hilliard theory of phase transitions in a fluid with free energy, per unit volume, given by ²¦¦²+ W(), where is the density. The main result is that is asymptotically equal to E/d+o(), with E the interfacial energy, per unit surface area, of the interface between phases, the (constant) sum of principal curvatures of the interface, and d the density jump across the interface. This result is in agreement with a formula conjectured by M. Gurtin and corresponds to the Gibbs-Thompson relation for surface tension, proved by G. Caginalp within the context of the phase field model of free boundaries arising from phase transitions.     

Deformation to breaking of deep water gravity waves

The results of laboratory observations of the deformation of deep water gravity waves leading to wave breaking are reported. The specially developed visualization technique which was used is described. A preliminary analysis of the results has led to similar conclusions than recently developed theories. As a main fact, the observed wave breaking appears as the result of, first, a modulational instability which causes the local wave steepness to approach a maximum and, second, a rapidly growing instability leading directly to the breaking.List of symbols L total wave length - H total wave height - crest elevation above still water level - trough depression below still water level - wave steepness =H/L - crest steepness =/L - trough steepness =/L - F ₁ forward horizontal length from zero-upcross point (A) to wave crest - F ₂ backward horizontal length from wave crest to zero-downcross point (B) - crest front steepness =/F ₁ - crest rear steepness =/F ₂ - vertical asymmetry factor=F ₂/F ₁ (describing the wave asymmetry with respect to a vertical axis through the wave crest) - µ horizontal asymmetry factor=/H (describing the wave asymmetry with respect to a horizontal axis: SWL) - T ₀ wavemaker period - L ₀ theoretical wave length of a small amplitude sinusoïdal wave generated at T _inf0 ^sup–1 frequency - ₀ average wave height     

Mean and turbulent velocity measurements of supersonic mixing layers

The behavior of supersonic mixing layers under three conditions has been examined by schlieren photography and laser Doppler velocimetry. In the schlieren photographs, some large-scale, repetitive patterns were observed within the mixing layer; however, these structures do not appear to dominate the mixing layer character under the present flow conditions. It was found that higher levels of secondary freestream turbulence did not increase the peak turbulence intensity observed within the mixing layer, but slightly increased the growth rate. Higher levels of freestream turbulence also reduced the axial distance required for development of the mean velocity. At higher convective Mach numbers, the mixing layer growth rate was found to be smaller than that of an incompressible mixing layer at the same velocity and freestream density ratio.

Flow in porous media I: A theoretical derivation of Darcy's law

Stokes flow through a rigid porous medium is analyzed in terms of the method of volume averaging. The traditional averaging procedure leads to an equation of motion and a continuity equation expressed in terms of the volume-averaged pressure and velocity. The equation of motion contains integrals involving spatial deviations of the pressure and velocity, the Brinkman correction, and other lower-order terms. The analysis clearly indicates why the Brinkman correction should not be used to accommodate ano slip condition at an interface between a porous medium and a bounding solid surface.The presence of spatial deviations of the pressure and velocity in the volume-averaged equations of motion gives rise to aclosure problem, and representations for the spatial deviations are derived that lead to Darcy's law. The theoretical development is not restricted to either homogeneous or spatially periodic porous media; however, the problem ofabrupt changes in the structure of a porous medium is not considered.Roman Letters A interfacial area of the - interface contained within the macroscopic system, m² - A _e area of entrances and exits for the -phase contained within the macroscopic system, m² - A interfacial area of the - interface contained within the averaging volume, m² - A ^* interfacial area of the - interface contained within a unit cell, m² - Ae area of entrances and exits for the -phase contained within a unit cell, m² - B second order tensor used to represent the velocity deviation (see Equation (3.30)) - b vector used to represent the pressure deviation (see Equation (3.31)), m^–1 - d distance between two points at which the pressure is measured, m - g gravity vector, m/s² - K Darcy's law permeability tensor, m² - L characteristic length scale for volume averaged quantities, m - characteristic length scale for the -phase (see Figure 2), m - characteristic length scale for the -phase (see Figure 2), m - n unit normal vector pointing from the -phase toward the -phase (n =–n ) - n _e unit normal vector for the entrances and exits of the -phase contained within a unit cell - p pressure in the -phase, N/m² - p intrinsic phase average pressure for the -phase, N/m² - p –p , spatial deviation of the pressure in the -phase, N/m² - r ₀ radius of the averaging volume and radius of a capillary tube, m - v velocity vector for the -phase, m/s - v phase average velocity vector for the -phase, m/s - v intrinsic phase average velocity vector for the -phase, m/s - v –v , spatial deviation of the velocity vector for the -phase, m/s - V averaging volume, m³ - V volume of the -phase contained within the averaging volume, m³ Greek Letters V/V, volume fraction of the -phase - mass density of the -phase, kg/m³ - viscosity of the -phase, Nt/m² - arbitrary function used in the representation of the velocity deviation (see Equations (3.11) and (B1)), m/s - arbitrary function used in the representation of the pressure deviation (see Equations (3.12) and (B2)), s^–1     

Flow birefringence of polymer melts: Application to the investigation of time dependent rheological properties

Summary Transient stresses including normal stresses, which are developed in a polymer melt by a suddenly imposed constant rate of shear, are investigated by mechanical measurement and, indirectly, with the aid of the flow birefringence technique. For the latter purpose use is made of the so-called stress-optical law, which is carefully checked.It appears that the essentially linear model of the rubberlike liquid, as proposed byLodge, is capable of describing the behaviour of polymer melts rather well, if the applied total shear does not exceed unity. In order to describe also steady state values of the stresses successfully, one should extend measurements to extremely low shear rates.These statements are verified with the aid of a method which was originally designed bySchwarzl andStruik for the practical calculation of interrelations between linear viscoelastic functions. In the present paper dynamic shear moduli are used as reference functions.

Zusammenfassung Mit der Zeit anwachsende Spannungen, darunter auch Normalspannungen, wie sie sich nach dem plötzlichen Anlegen einer konstanten Schergeschwindigkeit in einer Polymerschmelze entwickeln, werden mit Hilfe mechanischer Messungen und indirekt mit Hilfe der Strömungsdoppelbrechung untersucht. Für den letzteren Zweck wird das sogenannte spannungsoptische Gesetz herangezogen, dessen Gültigkeit sorgfältig überprüft wird.Es ergibt sich, daß das im Wesen lineare Modell der gummiartigen Flüssigkeit, wie es vonLodge vorgeschlagen wurde, sich recht gut zur Beschreibung des Verhaltens von Polymerschmelzen eignet, solange der im ganzen angelegte Schub den Wert Eins nicht überschreitet. Um auch stationäre Werte der Spannungen in die Beschreibung erfolgreich einzubeziehen, sollte man die Messungen bis zu extrem niedrigen Schergeschwindigkeiten ausdehnen.Die gemachten Feststellungen werden mit Hilfe einer Methode verifiziert, die vonSchwarzl undStruik ursprünglich für die praktische Berechnung von Beziehungen zwischen Zustandsfunktionen entwickelt wurde, die dem linear viskoelastischen Verhalten entsprechen. In der vorliegenden Veröffentlichung dienen die dynamischen Schubmoduln als Bezugsfunktionen.

Rheological behaviour of two-phase flow of solid particles in a gas

The present investigation was concerned with the rheological behaviour of dilute suspensions of solid particles in a gas in a vertical cocurrent flow moving upwards. Starting from the experimentally determined dependence of the pressure drop on the concentration of solid particles and the Reynolds number of the carrier medium in the steady flow region, the rheological parameters were estimated using pseudo-shear diagrams. Air was the carrier medium and the dispersed phase was one of six fractions of polypropylene powder and five fractions of glass ballotini. The results show that the investigated two-phase systems have pseudoplastic character which becomes more pronounced with increases in concentration, equivalent diameter and density of solid particles in the flowing suspension.

An application of nonsymmetric Lax-Milgram lemma to nonassociated plasticity

Based on a general assumption for plastic potential and yield surface, some properties of the nonassociated plasticity are studied, and the existence and uniqueness of the distribution of incremental stress and displacement for work-hardening materials are proved by using nonsymmetric Lax-Milgram lemma, when the work-hardening parameter A>F/Q/–F/, Q/.
