Abstract: | Using Stuart's energy method, the torque on the inner cylinder, for a second order fluid, in the supercritical regime is calculated. It is found that when the second normal stress difference is negative, the flow is more stable than for a Newtonian fluid and the torque is reduced. If the second normal stress difference is positive, then the flow is more stable and there is no torque reduction. Experimental data related to the present work are discussed.Nomenclature a amplitude of the fundamentals - Aij(1), Aij(2) first and second Rivlin-Ericksen tensors - d r2–r1 - D d/dx - E - F - gij metric tensor - G torque on the inner cylinder in the supercritical regime - h height of the cylinders - k0 / d2 - k1 / d2 - I1 - I2 - I3 - I4 - r1, r2 radii of inner and outer cylinders respectively - r0 1/2(r1+r2) - R Reynolds number 1r1d / 0 - Rc critical Reynolds number - T Taylor number r1 12d3 2/ 02*) - Tc critical Taylor number - u1, v1, w1 Fundamentals of the disturbance - ui, vi, wi, (i>1) harmonics - mean velocity (not laminar velocity) - u –u1/ar1 1 - v v1/Rar1 1 - x (r–r0)/d - , material constants - 0 viscosity - wave number d - density - 1 angular velocity of inner cylinder - tilde denotes complex conjugate |
