Flow of second-order fluids over an enclosed rotating disc

Summary This paper is devoted to a study of the flow of a second-order fluid (flowing with a small mass rate of symmetrical radial outflow m, taken negative for a net radial inflow) over a finite rotating disc enclosed within a coaxial cylinderical casing. The effects of the second-order terms are observed to depend upon two dimensionless parameters ₁ and ₂. Maximum values ₁ and ₂ of the dimensionless radial distances at which there is no recirculation, for the cases of net radial outflow (m>0) and net radial inflow (m<0) respectively, decrease with an increase in the second-order effects [represented by T(=₁+₂)]. The velocities at ₁ and ₂ as well as at some other fixed radii have been calculated for different T and the associated phenomena of no-recirculation/recirculation discussed. The change in flow phenomena due to a reversal of the direction of net radial flow has also been studied. The moment on the rotating disc increases with T.Nomenclature , , z coordinates in a cylindrical polar system - z ₀ distance between rotor and stator (gap length) - =/z ₀, dimensionless radial distance - =z/z ₀, dimensionless axial distance - _s = _s/z₀, dimensionless disc radius - V =(u, v, w), velocity vector - dimensionless velocity components - uniform angular velocity of the rotor - , p fluid density and pressure - P =p/(₂ z ₀₂ ² , dimensionless pressure - ₁, ₂, ₃ kinematic coefficients of Newtonian viscosity, elastico-viscosity and cross-viscosity respectively - ₁, _{2 2}/z ₀ ² , resp. ₃/z ₀ ² , dimensionless parameters representing the ratio of second-order and inertial effects - m = , mass rate of symmetrical radial outflow - l a number associated with induced circulatory flow - Rm =m/(z ₀₁), Reynolds number of radial outflow - R _l =l/(z ₀₁), Reynolds number of induced circulatory flow - Rz =z ₀ ² /₁, Reynolds number based on the gap - ₁, ₂ maximum radii at which there is no recirculation for the cases Rm>0 and Rm<0 respectively - ₁(T), ₂(T) ₁ and ₂ for different T - U _1(T) ⁽⁺⁾ = dimensionless radial velocity, Rm>0 - V _1(T) ⁽⁺⁾ = , dimensionless transverse velocity, Rm>0 - U _2(T) ^(–) = , dimensionless radial velocity, Rm=–Rn<0, m=–n - V _2(T) ^(–) = , dimensionless transverse velocity, Rm<0 - C _m moment coefficient

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.

Waves in a plasma with Hall dispersion

In a magnetohydrodynamic approximation, an investigation is made of the propagation of waves in a plasma, whose characteristic frequency is much less than the collision frequency of the electrons _e ^–1. It is assumed that the magnetic field is sufficiently strong so that the equality _ee1 will be satisfied, where _e is the cyclotron frequency of the rotation of the electrons. With large magnetic Reynolds numbers (R_m1), which are characteristic for many astrophysical problems, this latter condition leads to a need to take account of dispersion effects connected with Hall currents, in the absence of Joule dissipation. The dispersion equation for the propagation of small perturbations is analyzed in the limiting cases of weak dispersion and of a wave propagating along the magnetic field. In the case of weak dispersion, an equation is derived for nonlinear waves. The solutions are found in the form of stationary solitons. The region of such solutions is analyzed. A typical example of a medium with Hall dispersion is an interplanetary plasma, in which the parameter _ee is generally great.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 108–113, May–June, 1974.     

Transport in ordered and disordered porous media I: The cellular average and the use of weighting functions

In this work we consider transport in ordered and disordered porous media using singlephase flow in rigid porous mediaas an example. We defineorder anddisorder in terms of geometrical integrals that arise naturally in the method of volume averaging, and we show that dependent variables for ordered media must generally be defined in terms of thecellular average. The cellular average can be constructed by means of a weighting function, thus transport processes in both ordered and disordered media can be treated with a single theory based on weighted averages. Part I provides some basic ideas associated with ordered and disordered media, weighted averages, and the theory of distributions. In Part II a generalized averaging procedure is presented and in Part III the closure problem is developed and the theory is compared with experiment. Parts IV and V provide some geometrical results for computer generated porous media.Roman Letters A interfacial area of the- interface contained within the macroscopic region, m² - A_e area of entrances and exits for the-phase contained within the macroscopic system, m² - g gravity vector, m/s² - I unit tensor - K traditional Darcy's law permeability tensor, m² - L general characteristic length for volume averaged quantities, m - characteristic length (pore scale) for the-phase - (y) weighting function - m(–y) (y), convolution product weighting function - _v special weighting function associated with the traditional averaging volume - N unit normal vector pointing from the-phase toward the-phase - p pressure in the-phase, N/m² - p0 reference pressure in the-phase, N/m² - p traditional intrinsic volume averaged pressure, N/m² - r0 radius of a spherical averaging volume, m - r position vector, m - r position vector locating points in the-phase, m - averaging volume, m³ - V volume of the-phase contained in the averaging volume, m³ - V _cell volume of a unit cell, m³ - v velocity vector in the-phase, m/s - v traditional superficial volume averaged velocity, m/s - x position vector locating the centroid of the averaging volume or the convolution product weighting function, m - y position vector relative to the centroid, m - y position vector locating points in the-phase relative to the centroid, m Greek Letters indicator function for the-phase - Dirac distribution associated with the- interface - V/V, volume average porosity - mass density of the-phase, kg/m³ - viscosity of the-phase, Ns/m²     

Experimental investigation of the creeping motion of a drop in a vertical tube

New experimental data regarding the motion of a drop along the axis of a vertical tube, filled with another highly viscous liquid, are obtained. The experiments are realised with sufficiently large drops for an internal circulation to develop and also for different pairs of fluids; the preponderant role of the gravity on the drop shape and consequently on its terminal velocity is pointed out. Moreover, by means of a visualization technique, details on the flow both inside and outside the drop are given.List of symbols g gravity acceleration - r distance from the drop center - R equivalent radius of the drop, i.e. the radius of the sphere having the same volume as the drop - R _EQ radius of the equatorial section of the drop - R _T tube radius - L _AX half length of the drop - U ₀ terminal velocity of the drop - P _s Poiseuille number= U _{0 e} /4 g R ² - Fr Fronde number = U ₀ ² _e /2 g R - Re Reynolds number = 2 U ₀ R _e / _e - E _o Eötvös number = 4g R ²/ - deformation parameter = _e U ₀/ - apparent density of the suspended liquid= | _i – _e | - _i viscosity of the suspended liquid - _e viscosity of the suspending liquid - drop-to-tube radius ratio = R/R _T - _EQ equatorial drop-to-tube radius ratio = R EQ/R _T - interfacial tension     

Shear viscosity behavior of highly concentrated suspensions at low and high shear-rates

A method is proposed for determining the shear viscosity behavior of highly concentrated suspensions at low and high shear-rates through the use of a formulation that is a function of three parameters signifying the effects of particle size distribution. These parameters are the intrinsic viscosity [], a parametern that reflects the level of particle association at the initiation of motion and the maximum packing concentration _m. The formulation reduces to the modified Eilers equation withn = 2 for high shear rates. An analytical method was used for the calculation of maximum packing concentration which was subsequently correlated with the experimental values to account for the surface induced interaction of particles with the fluid. The calculated values of viscosities at low and high shear-rates were found to be in good agreement with various experimental data reported in literature. A brief discussion is also offered on the reliability of the methods of measuring the maximum packing concentration. _r = /₀ relative viscosity of the suspension - volumetric concentration of solids - k _n coefficient which characterizes a specific effect of particle interactions - _m maximum packing concentration - _r,0 relative viscosity at low shear-rates - [] intrinsic viscosity - n, n parameter that reflects the level of particle interactions at low and high shear-rates, respectively - _r, relative viscosity at high shear-rates - (_m)_s, (_m)_i, (_m)_l packing factors for small, intermediate and large diameter classes - v _s, v_i, v_l volume fractions of small, intermediate and large diameter classes, respectively - _si, _sl coefficient to be used in relating a smaller to an intermediate and larger particle group, respectively - _is, _il coefficient to be used in relating an intermediate to a smaller and larger particle group, respectively - _ls, _li coefficient to be used in relating a larger to a smaller and intermediate particle group, respectively - _m0 maximum packing concentration for binary mixtures - _m,e measured maximum packing concentration - _m,c calculated maximum packing concentration

General expressions for evaluating the asymptotic Nusselt number for a Newtonian flow through a parallel-plate channel with recycle at the ends have been derived. Numerical results with the ratio of thicknesses as a parameter for various recycle ratios are obtained.

The stokes problems for a conducting fluid with a suspension of particles

The Stokes problems of an incompressible, viscous, conducting fluid with embedded small spherical particles over an infinite plate, set into motion in its plane by impulse and by oscillation, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, are studied. The velocities of the fluid and of the particles and the wall shear stress are obtained.

On the effects of uniform high suction on the rotationally symmetric flow of a conducting liquid near a stationary disc in the presence of a transverse magnetic field

In the present paper an attempt has been made to find out effects of uniform high suction in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, on the motion near a stationary plate when the fluid at a large distance above it rotates with a constant angular velocity.

Theoretical derivation of tangential velocity profiles in a flat vortex chamber-influence of turbulence and wall friction

Summary As part of a study on the hydrodynamics of a cyclone separator, a theoretical investigation of the flow pattern in a flat box cyclone (vortex chamber) has been carried out. Expressions have been derived for the tangential velocity profile as influenced by internal friction (eddy viscosity) and wall friction. The most important parameter controlling the tangential velocity profile is = –u ₀ R/(v+ ), where u ₀ is the radial velocity at the outer radius R of the cyclone, the kinematic liquid viscosity and is the kinematic eddy viscosity. For values of greater than about 10 the tangential velocity profile is nearly hyperbolic, for smaller than 1 the tangential velocity even decreases towards the centre. It is shown how and also the wall friction coefficient may be obtained from experimental velocity profiles with the aid of suitable graphs. Because of the close relation between eddy viscosity and eddy diffusion, measurements of velocity profiles in flat box cyclones will also provide information on the eddy motion of particles in a cyclone, a motion reducing its separation efficiency.List of symbols A cross-sectional area of cyclone inlet - h height of cyclone - p static pressure in cyclone - p static pressure difference in cyclone between two points on different radius - r radius in cyclone - r ₁ radius of cyclone outlet - R radius of cyclone circumference - u radial velocity in cyclone - u ₀ radial velocity at circumference of flat box cyclone - v tangential velocity - v ₀ tangential velocity at circumference of flat box cyclone - w axial velocity - z axial co-ordinate in cyclone - friction coefficient in flat box cyclone (for definition see § 5) - ₁ value of friction coefficient for ₁<< ₂ - ₂ value of friction coefficient for ₂<<1 - = - ₁ value of for ₁<< ₂ - ₂ value of for ₂<<1 - thickness of laminar boundary layer - =/h - turbulent kinematic viscosity - ratio of z to h - k ratio of height of cyclone to radius R of cyclone - parameter describing velocity profile in cyclone =–u ₀ R/(+) - kinematic viscosity of fluid - density of fluid - ratio of r to R - ₁ value of at outlet of cyclone - ₂ value of at inner radius of cyclone inlet - _w shear stress at cyclone wall - angular momentum in cyclone/angular momentum in cyclone inlet - ₁ value of at = ₁ - ₂ value of at = ₂     

Analysis of slip and temperature jump coefficients in a binary gas mixture

The possibility of simplifying the formulas obtained by the Maxwell-Loyalka method for the velocity _u, temperature _T and diffusion _d slip coefficients and the temperature jump coefficient in a binary gas mixture with frozen internal degrees of freedom of the molecules is considered. Special attention is paid to gases not having sharply different physicochemical properties. The formulas are written in a form convenient for use without linearization in the thermal diffusion coefficient. They are systematically analyzed for mixtures of inert gases, N₂, O₂, CO₂, and H₂ at temperatures extending from room temperature to 2500°K. It is shown that for the molecular weight ratios m^* = m₂/m₁ considered the expressions for _u and can be radically simplified. With an error acceptable for practical purposes (up to 10%) it is possible to employ expressions of the same structural form as for a single-component gas: for _u if 1 m^* 6, and for if 1 m^* 3. When 1 m^* 2 the expression for _T can be simplified with a maximum error of 5%. Within the limits of accuracy of the method the expression for _t can be linearized in the thermal diffusion coefficient. An approximate expression convenient for practical calculations is proposed for _d Finally, the , _u, and _T for a single-component polyatomic gas with easy excitation of the internal degrees of freedom of the molecules are similarly analyzed; it is shown that these expressions can be considerably simplified.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 152–159, November–December, 1990.     

The virtual origin of riblets in an open channel flow

In this paper, a method using the mean velocity profiles for the buffer layer was developed for the estimation of the virtual origin over a riblets surface in an open channel flow. First, the standardized profiles of the mixing length were estimated from the velocity measurement in the inner layer, and the location of the edge of the viscous layer was obtained. Then, the virtual origins were estimated by the best match between the measured velocity profile and the equations of the velocity profile derived from the mixing length profiles. It was made clear that the virtual origin and the thickness of the viscous layer are the function of the roughness Reynolds number. The drag variation coincided well with other results.Nomenclature f _r skin friction coefficient - f _ro skin friction coefficient in smooth channel at the same flow quantity and the same energy slope - g gravity acceleration - H water depth from virtual origin to water surface - H ⁺ u*H/ - H false water depth from top of riblets to water surface - H ⁺ u*H/ - I _e streamwise energy slope - I _b bed slope - k riblet height - k ⁺ u*k/ - l mixing length - l _s standardized mixing length - Q flow quantity - Re Reynolds number volume flow/unit width/v - s riblet spacing - u mean velocity - u* friction velocity = - u* false friction velocity = - y distance from virtual origin - y distance from top of riblet - y ₀ distance from top of riblet to virtual origin - y _v distance from top of riblet to edge of viscous layer - y ⁺ u*y/ - y ⁺ u*y/ - y ₀ ⁺ u*y ₀/ - u ⁺ u*y/ - shifting coefficient for standardization - thickness of viscous layer=y ₀+y - ⁺ u*/ - ⁺ u*/ - eddy viscosity - ridge angle - v kinematic viscosity - density - shear stress     

Positively invariant regions for a problem in phase transitions

Positively invariant regions for the system v _t + p(W) _x = V _xx , W _t –V _x = W _xx are constructed where p < 0, w < , w > , p(w) = 0, w , > 0. Such a choice of p is motivated by the Maxwell construction for a van der Waals fluid. The method of an analysis is a modification of earlier ideas of Chueh, Conley, & Smoller [1]. The results given here provide independent L bounds on the solution (w, v).Dedicated to Professor James Serrin on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday     

A method for the analysis of recirculating turbulent flows in a cavity

The complex fluid-dynamic aspects of a turbulent recirculating flow in a cavity with axial throughflow, and a rotating wall, were investigated by adopting a simple procedure for evaluating the turbulent stresses. The flow field was divided into two regions, a core and a wall region respectively. A wall function was adopted in the zones near to the solid boundaries, while a constant eddy diffusivity was assumed, in the core, following the indications of computed heat transfer coefficients in comparison with existing experimental data. The distributions of the stream function and of the tangential velocity are presented for a range of the rotational Reynolds number of the rotating wall and of the Reynolds number of the throughflow.

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     

The dynamic and steady shear properties of synovial fluid and of the components making up synovial fluid

Steady-shear and dynamic properties of a pooled sample of cattle synovial fluid have been measured using techniques developed for low viscosity fluids. The rheological properties of synovial fluid were found to exhibit typical viscoelastic behaviour and can be described by the Carreau type A rheological model. Typical model parameters for the fluid are given; these may be useful for the analysis of the complex flow problems of joint lubrication.The two major constituents, hyaluronic acid and proteins, have been successfully separated from the pooled sample of synovial fluid. The rheological properties of the hyaluronic acid and the recombined hyaluronic acid-protein solutions of both equal and half the concentration of the constituents found in the original synovial fluid have been measured. These properties, when compared to those of the original synovial fluid, show an undeniable contribution of proteins to the flow behaviour of synovial fluid in joints. The effect of protein was found to be more prominent in hyaluronic acid of half the normal concentration found in synovial fluid, thus providing a possible explanation for the differences in flow behaviour observed between synovial fluid from certain diseased joints compared to normal joint fluid.Nomenclature A Ratio of angular amplitude of torsion head to oscillation input signal - G Storage modulus - G Loss modulus - I Moment of inertia of upper platen — torsion head assembly - K Restoring constant of torsion bar - N ₁ First normal-stress difference - R Platen radius - S ⁽ⁱ⁾ Geometric factor in the dynamic property analysis - t ₁ Characteristic time parameter of the Carreau model - X, Y Carreau model parameters - Z () Reimann Zeta function of - Carreau model parameter - Shear rate - Apparent steady-shear viscosity - ^* Complex dynamic viscosity - Dynamic viscosity - Imaginary part of the complex dynamic viscosity - ₀ Zero-shear viscosity - ₀ Cone angle - Carreau model characteristic time - Density of fluid - Shear stress - Phase difference between torsion head and oscillation input signals - ₀ Zero-shear rate first normal-stress coefficient - Oscillatory frequency     

On laminar flow through a uniformly porous pipe

Numerous investigations ([1] and [4–9]) have been made of laminar flow in a uniformly porous circular pipe with constant suction or injection applied at the wall. The object of this paper is to give a complete analysis of the numerical and theoretical solutions of this problem. It is shown that two solutions exist for all values of injection as well as the dual solutions for suction which had been noted by previous investigators. Analytical solutions are derived for large suction and injection; for large suction a viscous layer occurs at the wall while for large injection one solution has a viscous layer at the centre of the channel and the other has no viscous layer anywhere. Approximate analytic solutions are also given for small values of suction and injection.

Conclusions The qualitative behavior of the displacement (t) and the radius R(t) during the different phases of the motion is illustrated in the diagram of Fig. 6.1.After the first impact at t = 0 the displacement (t) varies according to (5.2). If the first maximum of (t) is higher than ₁ then at time t ₁ the graph of (t) intersects the straight line = _cand detachment first occurs. In the second phase the dependance of on t is expressed by (5.6). The detachment will end at the instant t ₂ when vanishes.The radius R remains equal to R ₀ until (t) reaches the critical value ₁ = _c that is at t = t ₁. After t ₁, R(t) will decrease according to (4.4) up to its final value ₂.A rather unexpected property of the solution is that the greatest elongation is finite for every non-vanishing value of the ratio .To Jerry Ericksen for his 60^th birthday
