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     

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     

Uniqueness and the maximum principle for quasilinear elliptic equations with quadratic growth conditions

In this paper, we show that the maximum principle holds for quasilinear elliptic equations with quadratic growth under general structure conditions.Two typical particular cases of our results are the following. On one hand, we prove that the equation (1) {ie77-01} where {ie77-02} and {ie77-03} satisfies the maximum principle for solutions in H ¹()L(), i.e., that two solutions u ₁, u ₂H¹() L() of (1) such that u ₁u₂ on , satisfy u ₁u₂ in . This implies in particular the uniqueness of the solution of (1) in H ₀ ¹ ()L().On the other hand, we prove that the equation (2) {ie77-04} where fH^–1() and g(u)>0, g(0)=0, satisfies the maximum principle for solutions uH¹() such that g(u)¦Du|{²L¹(). Again this implies the uniqueness of the solution of (2) in the class uH ₀ ¹ () with g(u)¦Du|{²L¹().In both cases, the method of proof consists in making a certain change of function u=(v) in equation (1) or (2), and in proving that the transformed equation, which is of the form (3) {ie77-05}satisfies a certain structure condition, which using ((v₁ -v ₂)⁺)ⁿ for some n>0 as a test function, allows us to prove the maximum principle.

On the effects of a periodic, spanwise variation of suction upon asymptotic suction flow

Summary The effects of superposing streamwise vorticity, periodic in the lateral direction, upon two-dimensional asymptotic suction flow are analyzed. Such vorticity, generated by prescribing a spanwise variation in the suction velocity, is known to play an important role in unstable and turbulent boundary layers. The flow induced by the variation has been obtained for a freestream velocity which (i) is steady, (ii) oscillates periodically in time, (iii) changes impulsively from rest. For the oscillatory case it is shown that a frequency can exist which maximizes the induced, unsteady wall shear stress for a given spanwise period. For steady flow the heat transfer to, or from a wall at constant temperature has also been computed.Nomenclature (x, y, z) spatial coordinates - (u, v, w) corresponding components of velocity - (, , ) corresponding components of vorticity - t time - stream function for v and w - v _w mean wall suction velocity - nondimensional amplitude of variation in wall suction velocity - characteristic wavenumber for variation in direction of z - T temperature - P pressure - density - coefficient of kinematic viscosity - coefficient of thermal diffusivity - (/v _w)² - frequency of oscillation of freestream velocity - nondimensional amplitude of freestream oscillation - /v _w ² - z z - y –v _w y/ - v _w ² t/4 - /v _w - U ₀ characteristic freestream velocity - u/U ₀ - coefficient of viscosity - _w wall shear stress - Prandtl number (/) - q heat transfer to wall - T _w wall temperature - T (T _w–T)/(T _w–)

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.

Flow visualization of compressible vortex structures using density gradient techniques

Mathematical results are derived for the schlieren and shadowgraph contrast variation due to the refraction of light rays passing through two-dimensional compressible vortices with viscous cores. Both standard and small-disturbance solutions are obtained. It is shown that schlieren and shadowgraph produce substantially different contrast profiles. Further, the shadowgraph contrast variation is shown to be very sensitive to the vortex velocity profile and is also dependent on the location of the peak peripheral velocity (viscous core radius). The computed results are compared to actual contrast measurements made for rotor tip vortices using the shadowgraph flow visualization technique. The work helps to clarify the relationships between the observed contrast and the structure of vortical structures in density gradient based flow visualization experiments.Nomenclature a Unobstructed height of schlieren light source in cutoff plane, m - c Blade chord, m - f Focal length of schlieren focusing mirror, m - C _T Rotor thrust coefficient, T/( ² R ⁴) - I Image screen illumination, Lm/m ² - l Distance from vortex to shadowgraph screen, m - n _b Number of blades - p Pressure,N/m ² - p Ambient pressure, N/m ² - r, , z Cylindrical coordinate system - r _c Vortex core radius, m - Non-dimensional radial coordinate, (r/r _c ) - R Rotor radius, m - Tangential velocity, m/s - Specific heat ratio of air - Circulation (strength of vortex), m ²/s - Non-dimensional quantity, ² 8²p r _c ² - Refractive index of fluid medium - ₀ Refractive index of fluid medium at reference conditions - Gladstone-Dale constant, m ³/kg - Density, kg/m ³ - Density at ambient conditions, kg/m ³ - Non-dimensional density, (/ ) - Rotor solidity, (n _b c/ R) - Rotor rotational frequency, rad/s

On an inversion theorem for conical regions in elasticity theory

Summary Two-dimensional stress singularities in wedges have already drawn attention since a long time. An inverse square-root stress singularity (in a 360° wedge) plays an important role in fracture mechanics.Recently some similar three-dimensional singularities in conical regions have been investigated, from which one may be also important in fracture mechanics.Spherical coordinates are r, , . The conical region occupied by the elastic homogeneous body (and possible anisotropic) has its vertex at r=0. The mantle of the cone is described by an arbitrary function f(, )=0.

Determination of water retention in stratified porous materials

Predicted and measured water-retention values,(), were compared for repacked, stratified core samples consisting of either a sand with a stone-bearing layer or a sand with a clay loam layer in various spatial orientations. Stratified core samples were packed in submersible pressure outflow cells, then water-retention measurements were performed between matric potentials,, of 0 to -100 kPa. Predictions of() were based on a simple volume-averaging model using estimates of the relative fraction and() values of each textural component within a stratified sample. In general, predicted() curves resembled measured curves well, except at higher saturations in a sample consisting of a clay loam layer over a sand layer. In this case, the model averaged the air-entry of both materials, while the air-entry of the sample was controlled by the clay loam in contact with the cell's air-pressure inlet. In situ, avenues for air-entry generally exist around clay layers, so that the model should adequately predict air-entry for stratified formations regardless of spatial orientation of fine versus coarse layers. Agreement between measured and predicted volumetric water contents,, was variable though encouraging, with mean differences between measured and predicted values in the range of 10%. Differences in of this magnitude are expected due to variability in pore structure between samples, and do not indicate inherent problems with the volume averaging model. This suggets that explicit modeling of stratified formations through detailed characterization of the stratigraphy has the potential of yielding accurate() values. However, hydraulic-equilibration times were distinctly different for each variation in spatial orientation of textural layering, indicating that transient behavior during drainage in stratified formations is highly sensitive to the stratigraphic sequence of textural components, as well as the volume fraction of each textural component in a formation. This indicates that prolonged residence times of water, nutrients, and pollutants are likely within finer-textured layers, when conditions have resulted in drainage of underlying coarser-textured strata.     

Indentation of the semi-infinite elastic solid by a concave rigid punch

A solution is obtained for the relationship between load, displacement and inner contact radius for an axisymmetric, spherically concave, rigid punch, indenting an elastic half-space. Analytic approximations are developed for the limiting cases in which the ratio of the inner and outer radii of the annular contact region is respectively small and close to unity. These approximations overlap well at intermediate values. The same method is applied to the conically concave punch and to a punch with a central hole. , , . , . . .     

Unsteady convective diffusion in a rotating parallel plate channel

The paper presents an exact analysis of the dispersion of a passive contaminant in a viscous fluid flowing in a parallel plate channel driven by a uniform pressure gradient. The channel rotates about an axis perpendicular to its walls with a uniform angular velocity resulting in a secondary flow. Using a generalized dispersion model which is valid for all time, we evaluate the longitudinal dispersion coefficientsK _i (i=1, 2, ...) as functions of time. It is shown thatK ₁=0 andK ₃,K ₄, ... decay rapidly in comparison withK ₂. ButK ₂ decreases with increasing (the dimensionless rotation parameter) for values of upto approximately =2.2. ThereafterK ₂ increases with further increase in and its value gets saturated for large values of (say, 500) and does not change any further with increase in . A physical explanation of this anomalous behaviour ofK ₂ is given.

Dielectric properties of the composite system polyurethane — sodium chloride

Summary The dielectric properties of the composite system polyurethane-sodium chloride have been measured at frequencies between 10^–4 Hz and 3 · 10⁵ Hz in the temperature range from –150 °C up to +90 dgC. Three dielectric loss mechanisms have been found; they are indicated by ₁, ₂ and. The activation energy of the ₁-transition is 35 kcal/mole, that of the-transition 6.7 kcal/mole. The ₂-loss peak was only observed at frequencies of 10³ Hz and higher, forming one broad peak with the ₁-loss peak at lower frequencies. In the composite materials, the- and ₂-loss peaks measured at fixed frequencies were found at the same temperature. The ₂-loss peak, however, was shifted to a lower temperature, due to the sodium chloride filler. Comparison of experimental data of and tan with theoretical predictions concerning the dielectric properties of composite systems showed only partial agreement. The difference mainly consisted in. the temperature shift in the tan-peak of the ₁-transition.

The time averaged and dimensionless temperature distribution in the resistor is analytically evaluated. Two dimensionless functions are reported in tables which allow one to determine the time averaged temperature field for arbitrarily chosen values of the physical properties and of the radius of the resistor, of the electric current frequency, of the Biot number and of either the power generated per unit length or the effective electric current.

Stress analysis of the cylinder subjected to arbitrarily distributed axisymmetrical loads

Summary Stress analysis has been carried out for a finite cylinder subjected to arbitrarily distributed axisymmetrical surface loads. Direct stress _x in the axial direction is assumed to be of the form _x = ₀+r ₁ +r ₂ where ₀ to ₂ are functions of x. Using the equations of equilibrium and compatibility the other direct stresses and the shearing stress are expressed by ₁ and ₂. Fundamental equations governing ₁ and ₂ are introduced using the variational principle of complementary energy. From the results of the present analysis it is evident that the boundary conditions can be satisfied completely even for the case where the external forces are specified in complicated form, and that more accurate solutions can easily be obtained by introducing additional terms in _x.

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.

We prove that the set D of vector fields on the configuration space B of a field whose 1-parameter groups locally associated are groups of fibre-preserving transformations of B that leave invariant that field in the sense of variational theory, is a Lie algebra with respect to ordinary addition, multiplication by real numbers and Lie brackets. We see that this Lie algebra structure can be carried over to the corresponding set of Noether invariants, which then becomes a Lie algebra in a natural way.Further, we define the n-form of Poincaré-Cartan of a field, and we use it to generalize the Lie algebras D and in a reasonable way. The algebras D and are subalgebras of the new Lie algebras D and introduced. A main result in this connection is the following: the differential d of the n-form of Poincaré-Cartan is –(d+f), where (, d+f) are the field equations on the vertical bundle B.The symplectic manifold of solutions associated with a field is introduced in a formal way and the former Lie algebras D, , D, are interpreted on this manifold. In imitation of the case of analytical dynamics, the main results in this direction are: a) Every vector field of the Lie algebra D defines, in a canonical way, a vector field on the manifold of solutions such that its polar 1-form with respect to the symplectic metric ₂ is the differential of its corresponding Noether invariant, and b) the Lie bracket [, ] of two Noether invariants , is the Noether invariant given by ₂(D, D), where D, D are the vector fields on the manifold of solutions defined, in the sense a), by two infinitesimal generators of , , respectively. This will allow us to regard the Lie algebra as the analogous object in field theory to the Poisson algebra of analytic dynamics.We apply the general formalism to the relativistic theory of non-linear scalar fields, and we compare our results with the formalism developed by I. Segal for this case.
