Apparent viscosity of a mixture of a Newtonian fluid and interacting particles

We investigate the behavior of fluid–particle mixtures subject to shear stress, by mean of direct simulation. This approach is meant to give some hints to explain the influence of interacting red cells on the global behavior of the blood. We concentrate on the apparent viscosity, which we define as a macroscopic quantity which characterizes the resistance of a mixture against externally imposed shear motion. Our main purpose is to explain the non-monotonous variations of this apparent viscosity when a mixture of fluid and interacting particles is submitted to shear stress during a certain time interval. Our analysis of these variations is based on preliminary theoretical remarks, and some computations for some well-chosen static configurations. To cite this article: A. Lefebvre, B. Maury, C. R.

On the Logical Status of the Virtual Work Law

The law of virtual work (VWL) is probably the first law in the history of mechanics; it is previous to the one on the lever, though not completely distinct from it. Here I will discuss the logical status of VWL, that is whether it is an autonomous principle or a theorem of some sort of mechanics. The problem is complicated by the fact that up to now no universally recognised expression has been accepted for it. From this article the problematical nature of VWL demonstrability is quite clear when the mechanics does not characterise completely the constraints. Italian schools in the XVIII century, even if we do not take Lagrange into consideration, had an important role, both in the development of VWL and in the discussion of its role.     

Application de l'approximation polytropique à la turbulence statistique en moyenne de FavreApplication of the polytropic approximation to turbulence statistics using Favre averaging

The application of the polytropic approximation connecting the quantities of corresponding state, to experimental analysis, is clarified. A method of polytropic determination of the exponent χ (variable but non-fluctuating) in each point of the flow is given. This approximation makes it possible the generation of representative signals of fluctuating quantities, like pressure or density. For heated gases, the problem of measurement of the equations terms written with Favre averaging is thus almost solved. Then, measurement of χ allows the determination by the experiment of crucial terms like turbulent fluxes of mass and momentum, and presso correlation. To cite this article: C. Rey, S. Benjeddou, C.

Eléments finis stochastiques en élasticité linéaireA stochastic finite element method in linear mechanics

The stochastic finite element method presented in this Note consists in representing in a probabilistic form the response of a linear mechanical system whose material properties and loading are random. Each input random variable is expanded into a Hermite polynomial series in standard normal random variables. The response (e.g., the nodal displacement vector) is expanded onto the so-called polynomial chaos. The coefficients of the expansion are obtained by a Galerkin-type method in the space of probability. To cite this article: B. Sudret et al., C. R. Mecanique 332 (2004).

Unsteady model of drop Marangoni migration in microgravity

The experiments of drop Marangoni migration have been performed by the drop shift facility of short period of 4.5 s, and the drop accelerates gradually to an asymptotic velocity during the free fall. The unsteady and axisymmetric model is developed to study the drop migration for the case of moderate Reynolds numberRe=O(1), and the results are compared with the experimental ones in the present paper. Both numerical and experimental results show that the migration velocity for moderate Reynolds number is several times smaller than that given by the linear YGB theory.

Confined buckling of inextensible rods by convex difference algorithms

In this Note we present an approach to determine the local minima of a specific class of minimization problems. Attention is focused on the inextensibility condition of flexible rods expressed as a nonconvex constraint. Two algorithms are derived from a special splitting of the Lagrangian into the difference of two convex functions (DC). They are compared to the augmented Lagrangian methods used in this context. These DC formulations are easily extended to contact problems and applied to the determination of confined buckling shapes. To cite this article: P. Alart, S. Pagano, C. R.
