On Symmetric Boundary Conditions in the Context of Viscoelastic Fluid Flows

In order to reduce the numerical cost of three dimensional flow problems with geometrical symmetry, the use of symmetric boundary conditions is standard. For Newtonian fluid flow problems this approximation is usually appropriate, particularly when the Reynolds number is small. In the case of viscoelastic fluid flow simulations with stabilization techniques, such as the so-called DEVSS and/or Log-Conformation tensor methods, at high Deborah number flows this implementation is not straightforward, as in the Newtonian case. It is well known that viscoelastic models (e.g. Maxwellian models), show (purely) elastic flow instabilities when the Deborah number is increased above a critical value, even under creeping flow conditions. In this work we present numerical simulations with different stabilization techniques and different differential viscoelastic models at high Deborah number flows. As a test-case, we compare the flow in a full two-dimensional cross-slot geometry to show the asymmetrical behavior of the viscoelastic fluid flow. (© 2013 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

输流粘弹性曲管的稳定性分析

根据变质量弹性系统Hamilton原理,用变分法建立了输流粘弹性曲管的运动微分方程,并用归一化幂级数法导出了输流粘弹性曲管的复特征方程组．以两端固支Kelvin-Voigt模型粘弹性输流圆管为例,分析了无量纲延滞时间和质量比对输流管道无量纲复频率和无量纲流速之间的变化关系的影响．在无量纲延滞时间较大时,粘弹性输流圆管的特点是它的第1、2、3阶模态不再耦合,而是在第1、第2阶上先发散失稳,然后在1阶模态上再发生单一模态颤振．     

A Law of the Iterated Logarithm for Directed Last Passage Percolation

Let \({\widetilde{H}}_N\), \(N \ge 1\), be the point-to-point last passage times of directed percolation on rectangles \([(1,1), ([\gamma N], N)]\) in \({\mathbb {N}}\times {\mathbb {N}}\) over exponential or geometric independent random variables, rescaled to converge to the Tracy–Widom distribution. It is proved that for some \(\alpha _{\sup } >0\),

$$\begin{aligned} \alpha _{\sup } \, \le \, \limsup _{N \rightarrow \infty } \frac{{\widetilde{H}}_N}{(\log \log N)^{2/3}} \, \le \, \Big ( \frac{3}{4} \Big )^{2/3} \end{aligned}$$

with probability one, and that \(\alpha _{\sup } = \big ( \frac{3}{4} \big )^{2/3}\) provided a commonly believed tail bound holds. The result is in contrast with the normalization \((\log N)^{2/3}\) for the largest eigenvalue of a GUE matrix recently put forward by E. Paquette and O. Zeitouni. The proof relies on sharp tail bounds and superadditivity, close to the standard law of the iterated logarithm. A weaker result on the liminf with speed \((\log \log N)^{1/3}\) is also discussed.

     

Steady Plane Flow of Viscoelastic Fluid Past an Obstacle

We consider the steady plane flow of certain classes of viscoelastic fluids in exterior domains with a non-zero velocity prescribed at infinity. We study existence as well as asymptotic behaviour of solutions near infinity and show that for sufficiently small data the solution decays near infinity as fast as the fundamental solution to the Oseen problem.     

Exact Solutions for Steady Capillary Waves on a Fluid Annulus

Summary. Exact solutions for steady capillary waves on an annulus of swirling irrotational fluid are presented. The solutions have an intimate mathematical connection with the finite amplitude waves on fluid sheets identified by Kinnersley [8]. This mathematical connection is made explicit by first retrieving the solutions of Kinnersley using an extension of a new approach to free surface potential flows with capillarity recently devised by the present author (Crowdy [3]). A much-simplified representation of Kinnersley's original solutions results from the reformulation. The method is then generalized to identify the exact solutions for steady capillary waves on an annulus. Received February 9, 1998; revised November 5, 1998
