Unsteady flow in an annulus between two concentric rotating spheres

An analysis is presented for the unsteady laminar flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid in an annulus between two concentric spheres rotating about a common axis of symmetry. A solution of the Navier-Stokes equations is obtained by employing an iterative technique. The solution is valid for small values of Reynolds numbers and acceleration parameters of the spheres. In applying the results of this analysis to a rotationally accelerating sphere, a virtual moment of intertia is introduced to account for the local inertia of the fluid.Nomenclature R _i radius of the inner sphere - R _o radius of the outer sphere - radial coordinate - r dimensionless radial coordinate, - meridional coordinate - azimuthal coordinate - time - t dimensionless time, - Re _i instantaneous Reynolds number of the inner sphere, _i R _k ² / - Re _o instantaneous Reynolds number of the outer sphere, _o R _o ² / - radial velocity component - V _r dimensionless radial velocity component, - meridional velocity component - V dimensionless meridional velocity component, - azimuthal velocity component - V dimensionless azimuthal velocity component, - viscous torque - T dimensionless viscous torque, - viscous torque at surface of inner sphere - T _i dimensionless viscous torque at surface of inner sphere, - viscous torque at surface of outer sphere - T _o dimensionless viscous torque at surface of outer sphere, - externally applied torque on inner sphere - T _p,i dimensionless applied torque on inner sphere, - moment of inertia of inner sphere - Z _i dimensionless moment of inertia of inner sphere, - virtual moment of inertia of inner sphere - Z _i,v dimensionless virtual moment of inertia of inner sphere, - virtual moment of inertia of outer sphere - _i instantaneous angular velocity of the inner sphere - _o instantaneous angular velocity of the outer sphere - density of fluid - viscosity of fluid - kinematic viscosity of fluid,/ - radius ratio,R _i/R _o - swirl function, - dimensionless swirl function, - stream function - dimensionless stream function, - _i acceleration parameter for the inner sphere, - _o acceleration parameter for the outer sphere, - shear stress - _r dimensionless shear stress,      

Rayleigh problem in slip flow with transverse magnetic field

An analytical continuum solution of the Rayleigh problem in slip flow with applied magnetic field is obtained using a modified initial condition and slip boundary conditions. The results are uniformly valid for all times and show that the velocity slip and the local skin friction coefficient remain almost unaffected by the imposition of the magnetic field for small times. They increase however with the magnetic field for large times. The present results reduce to the corresponding results of the hydrodynamic case when there is no magnetic field.Nomenclature A constant - b characteristic length - B magnetic field vector - B ₀ magntidue of the applied magnetic field normale to the plate - B _x magnitude of the induced magnetic field parallel to the plate - C slip coefficient, (2–f)/f - C _f skin friction coefficient, - C _D average drag coefficient - erfc(_x) complementary error function, - E electric field vector - f Maxwell's reflection coefficient - H _a Hartmann number, (B ₀ ² b ²/)^1/2 - nondimensional magnetic parameter - J current vector - Kn=L/b Knudsen number - L mean free path - M Mach number - p constant parameter - P _m magnetic Prandtl number, Re _m/Re= ₀ - q velocity vector - Re Reynolds number, Ub/ - Re _m magnetic Reynolds number, ₀ Ub - t time - nondimensional time, tU/b - u velocity of the fluid parallel to the plate - nondimensional velocity, u/U - U velocity of the plate - Laplace transform of - x, y coordinates along and normal to the plate respectively - y nondimensional distance, y/b - Z nondimensional parameter, 1/Re ^1/2 Kn - ratio of specific heats - boundary layer thickness - velocity slip - viscosity - ₀ magnetic permeability - kinematic viscosity - nondimensional time parameter, ( /Re)^1/2/Kn - density - electrical conductivity     

Modell zur Beschreibung des Fließens wandgleitender Substanzen durch Düsen

Zusammenfassung Zur Analyse des Fließens einer direkt an der Düsenwand gleitendenOstwald-deWaele-Flüssigkeit (Potenzgesetz) wird ein Modell entwickelt, das die rheologischen Vorgänge tribologisch, d. h. analog derCoulombschen Reibung fester Körper beschreibt.Es zeigt sich, daß in der Düse zwei Bereiche zu unterscheiden sind: ein Haftbereich in der Nähe des Düseneinlaufs und ein am Düsenaustritt liegender Gleitbereich. Die Länge des Gleitbereichs, der Verlauf des Drucks und der Schubspannung längs der Düse sowie die Änderung des Geschwindigkeitsprofils im Gleitbereich werden ermittelt.Überschreitet die Wandschubspannung einen kritischen Betrag, so entsteht am Düsenende ein labiler Bereich, in dem der Betrag der Wandschubspannung sprunghaft auf einen kleineren Wert sinken kann. Der von verschiedenen Autoren gefundene Sprung in der Fließkurve bestimmter Polymerschmelzen kann damit grundsätzlich erklärt werden.

Summary Starting from theCoulomb Friction Law for solids, a theoretical model is developed for the pressure flow of a viscous power-law fluid with slip at the wall.It is shown that two flow regions exist in the die: a first region at the upstream part of the die, where the fluid sticks to the wall; and a second region at the downstream part of the die, where the fluid slips at the wall. The length of the slip region, the development of pressure and shear stress along the die as well as the change of the velocity distribution are given for the slip region.For shear stresses above a critical value, an instability region is found at the exit of the die. In this region, a sudden decrease of shear stress can occur. This seems to explain the discontinuity in the flow curve reported by several investigators.

Zur analytischen Beschreibung des Füllstoffeinflusses auf das Fließverhalten von Kunststoff-Schmelzen

From literature some representative equations have been compiled describing the influence of filler on the viscosity of polymer melts. By application of these on the experimental results obtained from GF-SAN it was found that the relative viscosity _R , i.e. the ratio of the viscosities of the filled and unfilled melt, shows a pronounced dependence on the shear rate but not on the shear stress. Defining _R with constant and not with constant (as it is usually done), an analytical approach is possible independent of Further the influence of pressure, temperature and filler content on the zero-shear viscosity of filled polymer melts may be expressed by a modified Arrhenius equation.

     

The automatic control of boundary-layer transition — Experiments and computation

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the control of boundary-layer transition through the use of wall suction. In the current work suction is provided through one or more suction panels situated close to the leading edge of a plate. Experiments show that boundary-layer pressure fluctuation measurements can be used to identify the position of transition. Transition can be maintained at a desired location with minimum power consumption by employing an automatic adaptive feedback control loop which regulates the suction flow rates of two independent suction panels. This can be expressed as a constrained optimization problem. To allow the suction flow rates to be updated, a modified least mean squares algorithm is used within the control loop. Experimental measurements show that the control algorithm allows fast and stable convergence towards the optimum suction distribution for a double suction panel configuration. Numerical simulations have also been performed. The two-dimensional boundary layer was calculated allowing the viscous boundary layer to interact with the inviscid outer flow. Following linear stability theory the spatial growth rates are calculated by solving an Orr-Sommerfeld type eigenvalue problem, with the streamwise location of transition predicted via thee ^N -method. Applying the same optimization strategy as in the experiments, good qualitative agreement between computations and experiments was found. The optimization algorithm has been applied to computer models where the relation between suction flow rates and transition location is described by an empirical analytical function. This shows that the controller can in principle be applied to systems with more than two suction panels.Nomenclature b transition location with zero suction - d desired transition location - e(k) error signal - k iteration index - p rms pressure - p _ref reference rms pressure - r sum of the reference pressure - u streamwise velocity - u _e external velocity - inviscid external velocity - A wave amplitude - F( ) cost function - I identity matrix - N maximum amplification factor - P projection matrix - R Reynolds number - Re Reynolds number based on the boundary-layer thickness - R matrix of weights - Tu turbulence level - vector of suction flow rates - v normal velocity - v _wall suction velocity at the surface - x streamwise coordinates - x _m microphone location - x _T(k) measured transition location - y normal coordinate - y(k) sum of the measured pressures - w(k) noise - plate length - r +i _i - free stream velocity - * displacement thickness - gradient vector - Lagrange multiplier - controller gain - disturbance stream function - disturbance amplitude - wave frequency = complex wave number     

Transient flow towards a well in an aquifer including the effect of fluid inertia

Transient propagation of weak pressure perturbations in a homogeneous, isotropic, fluid saturated aquifer has been studied. A damped wave equation for the pressure in the aquifer is derived using the macroscopic, volume averaged, mass conservation and momentum equations. The equation is applied to the case of a well in a closed aquifer and analytical solutions are obtained to two different flow cases. It is shown that the radius of influence propagates with a finite velocity. The results show that the effect of fluid inertia could be of importance where transient flow in porous media is studied.List of symbols b Thickness of the aquifer, m - c ₀ Wave velocity, m/s - k Permeability of the porous medium, m² - n Porosity of the porous medium - p( ,t) Pressure, N/m² - Q Volume flux, m³/s - r Radial coordinate, m - r _w Radius of the well, m - s Transform variable - S Storativity of the aquifer - S _d(r, t) Drawdown, m - t Time, s - T Transmissivity of the aquifer, m²/s - ( ,t) Velocity of the fluid, m/s - Coordinate vector, m - z Vertical coordinate, m - Coefficient of compressibility, m²/N - Coefficient of fluid compressibility, m²/N - Relaxation time, s - (r, t) Hydraulic potential, m - Dynamic viscosity of the fluid, Ns/m² - Dimensionless radius - Density of the fluid, Ns²/m⁴ - (, ) Dimensionless drawdown - Dimensionless time - , x Dummy variables - ₀, ₁ Auxilary functions     

On the universality of the velocity profiles of a turbulent flow in an axially rotating pipe

If a fluid enters an axially rotating pipe, it receives a tangential component of velocity from the moving wall, and the flow pattern change according to the rotational speed. A flow relaminarization is set up by an increase in the rotational speed of the pipe. It will be shown that the tangential- and the axial velocity distribution adopt a quite universal shape in the case of fully developed flow for a fixed value of a new defined rotation parameter. By taking into account the universal character of the velocity profiles, a formula is derived for describing the velocity distribution in an axially rotating pipe. The resulting velocity profiles are compared with measurements of Reich [10] and generally good agreement is found.Nomenclature b constant, equation (34) - D pipe diameter - l mixing length - l ₀ mixing length in a non-rotating pipe - N rotation rate,N=Re /Re _D - p pressure - R pipe radius - Re _D flow-rate Reynolds number, - Re rotational Reynolds number, Re =v _w D/ - Re* Reynolds number based on the friction velocity, Re*=v*R/ - (Re*)₀ Reynolds number based on the friction velocity in a non-rotating pipe - Ri Richardson number, equation (10) - r coordinate in radial direction - dimensionless coordinate in radial direction, - v _r ,v ,v _z time mean velocity components - v _r ,v ,v _z velocity fluctations - v _w tangential velocity of the pipe wall - v* friction velocity, - axial mean velocity - v _ZM maximum axial velocity - dimensionless radial distance from pipe wall, - y ⁺ dimensionless radial distance from pipe wall - y ₁ ⁺ constant - Z rotation parameter,Z =v _w/v _* =N Re _D /2Re* - _m eddy viscosity - ( _m )₀ eddy viscosity in a non-rotating pipe - coefficient of friction loss - von Karman constant - ₁ constant, equation (31) - density - dynamic viscosity - kinematic viscosity

Image processing of hydrogen bubble flow visualization for determination of turbulence statistics and bursting characteristics

A technique is described which employs automated image processing of hydrogen-bubble flow visualization pictures to establish local, instantaneous velocity profile information. Hydrogen bubble flow visualization sequences are recorded using a high-speed video system and then digitized, stored, and evaluated by a VAX 11/780 computer. Employing special smoothing and gradient detection algorithms, individual bubble-lines are computer identified, which allows local velocity profiles to be constructed using time-of-flight techniques. It is demonstrated how this techniques may be used to 1) determine local velocity behavior as a function of position and time, 2) evaluate time-averaged turbulence properties, and 3) correlate probe-type turbulent burst detection techniques with the corresponding visualization data.List of symbols Re Reynolds number based on momentum thickness, u / - t ⁺ nondimensional time tu ² / - T VITA variance averaging time period - u shear velocity = - u local instantaneous streamwise velocity,x-direction - u local fluctuating streamwise velocity,x-direction - u ⁺ nondimensional streamwise velocity, /u - local normal velocity,y-direction - w local spanwise velocity,z-direction - x ⁺ nondimensional coordinate in streamwise direction xu /v - y ⁺ nondimensional coordinate normal to wall, yu /v Greek momentum thickness, - kinematic viscosity - _w wall shear stress This paper was presented at the Ninth Symposium on Turbulence, University of Missouri-Rolla, October 1–3, 1984

Buoyancy- and pressure-driven motion in a vertical porous layer: Effects of quadratic drag

The seepage velocity arising from pressure and buoyancy driving forces in a slender vertical layer of fluid-saturated porous media is considered. Quadratic drag (Forcheimer effects) and Brinkman viscous forces are included in the analysis. Parameters are identified which characterize the influence of matrix permeability, quadratic drag and buoyancy. An explicit solution is obtained for pressure-driven flow which illustrates the influence of quadratic drag and the strong boundary layer behavior expected for low permeability media. The experimental data of Givler and Altobelli [2] for water seepage through a high porosity foam is found to yield good agreement with the present analysis. For the case of buoyancy-driven flow, a uniformly valid approximate solution is found for low permeability media. Comparison with the pressure-driven case shows strong similarities in the near-wall region.Nomenclature B function of - d layer thickness - D discriminant defined by Equation (9) - modified Darcy number - F Forcheimer constant - g gravitational acceleration - k porous matrix permeability - m parameter defined by Equation (11) - p pressure - p modified pressure - pressure gradient - R buoyancy parameter - T ₀ nominal layer temperature - u seepage velocity - dimensionless seepage velocity - _c composite approximation - _i boundary layer velocity - _o outer or core flow approximation - _m midplane velocity - U matching velocity - V cross-sectional average velocity - w variable defined by Equation (12) - x, z Cartesian coordinates - , dimensionless Cartesian coordinates - inertia parameter - T layer temperature difference - larger root of cubic given by Equation (8) - fluid dynamic viscosity - _e effective viscosity of fluid saturated medium - variable defined by Equation (18) - 0 fluid density - smaller root of cubic given by Equation (8) - variable defined by Equation (18) - stretched inner coordinate - porosity - function of      

Flow through a helically coiled annulus

In this paper the flow is studied of an incompressible viscous fluid through a helically coiled annulus, the torsion of its centre line taken into account. It has been shown that the torsion affects the secondary flow and contributes to the azimuthal component of velocity around the centre line. The symmetry of the secondary flow streamlines in the absence of torsion, is destroyed in its presence. Some stream lines penetrate from the upper half to the lower half, and if is further increased, a complete circulation around the centre line is obtained at low values of for all Reynolds numbers for which the analysis of this paper is valid, being the ratio of the torsion of the centre line to its curvature.Nomenclature A =constant - a outer radius of the annulus - b unit binormal vector to C - C helical centre line of the pipe - D rL - g 1000 - K Dean number=Re² - L 1+r sin - M (L ²+ ² r ²)^1/2 - n unit normal vector to C - P, P pressure and nondimensional pressure - p ₀, p pressures of O(1) and O() - Re Reynolds number=aW ₀/ - (r, , s), (r, , s) coordinates and nondimensional coordinates - nonorthogonal unit vectors along the coordinate directions - r ₀ radius of the projection of C - t unit tangent vector to C - V _r, V , V _s velocity components along the nonorthogonal directions - V_r, V, V _s nondimensional velocity components along - W ₀ average velocity in a straight annulus Greek symbols , curvature and nondimensional curvature of C - U, V, W lowest order terms for small in the velocity components along the orthogonal directions t - _r, , _s first approximations to V _r , V, V _s for small - =/=/ - kinematic viscosity - density of the fluid - , torsion and nondimensional torsion of C - , stream function and nondimensional stream function - nondimensional streamfunction for U, V - a inner radius of the annulus After this paper was accepted for publication, a paper entitled On the low-Reynolds number flow in a helical pipe, by C.Y.

Determination of the distributed parameters of a lossless wave supporting system from boundary measurements

A lossless wave supporting system is modelled by two linear partial differential equations with variable coefficients(x) and(x),x0, which represent the distributed parameters of the system. The problem of determining(x) and(x) from measurements performed at the boundaryx=0 is considered. It is shown that generally it is only possible to determine an impedance function (), where and depend on and. If some additional relationship is known between and, however, it may be possible to fully determine these parameters. This is the case if, for example, it is known that the wave speed is constant. The results are interpreted for sample cases from solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, acoustics, and electromagnetic theory, and solutions are given of specific problems.
