Nonlinear instability of a liquid jet in the presence of a uniform electric field

The nonlinear electrohydrodynamic stability of an irrotational jet in the presence of capillary force and weak viscous stress on the surface has been studied. Two nonlinear modified Schrödinger equations are obtained. Neglecting the viscous stress, the classic Schrödinger equations are obtained. The stability conditions of steady state solutions are investigated, using the modulation concept. It is found that the viscous stress produces a resonance (say a viscous resonance) away from the critical point. For the progressive waves, we obtained modified transition curves inserting the viscous stress. The classic nonlinear cutoff wave number is obtained and this means that the viscous stress has a fluctuating effect on the perturbed jet, away from the critical points.     

Near-wall model for boundary layer turbulence

The evolution of an intermittently created isolated three-dimensional turbulent eddy near a wall is followed in space and time on the assumption that its structure evolves on three separate time scales, a shear interaction one, a viscous one, and a nonlinear one. The large-time limit of the solution for the shear interaction stage shows many of the observed features of the near-wall turbulence structure such as the formation of shear layers, of streaks, and of streamwise vortices. It also provides initial conditions for the viscous and nonlinear stages showing viscous decay of convected structures and the possibility of a singularity in the nonlinear development. The eddy model is also used to construct a new model for the turbulent shear stress showing strong similarity to Prandtl's mixing-length model.     

Transient phenomena in thixotropic systems

A nonlinear rheological model which accounts for the time-dependent elastic, viscous and yielding phenomena is developed in order to describe the flow behavior of thixotropic materials which exhibit yield stress. A key feature of the formulation is a smooth transition from an ‘elastically’ dominated response to a ‘viscous’ response without a discontinuity in the stress–strain curve. The model is phenomenological and is based on the kinetic processes responsible for structural changes within the thixotropic material. As such, it can predict thixotropic effects, such as stress overshoot during start-up of a steady shear flow and stress relaxation after cessation of flow. Thus this model extends a previously proposed viscoplastic model [J. Rheol. 34 (1991) 647] to include thixotropy.An analysis and comparison to experimental data involving oscillatory shear flow are provided to evaluate the accuracy of the model and to estimate the model parameters in a prototype concentrated suspension. The experiments were conducted using a series of concentrated suspensions of silicon particles and silicon carbide whiskers in polyethylene. The data obtained with this experimental system indicated much better agreement between the theory and experiments that obtained in earlier work.     

高应力高水压下砂岩三轴蠕变特性试验研究

对砂岩进行高围压高水压条件下的三轴压缩蠕变试验。试验表明,在整个加载过程中,孔隙水压力主要起到增强轴向变形和横向变形的作用;但在加载的初始阶段,孔隙水压力在一定程度上抑制了轴向变形。当应力水平高于屈服应力时,横向蠕变速率明显大于轴向蠕变速率,且横向蠕变率先进入加速蠕变阶段。本文提出一个新的非线性黏性元件,并引入一个能判断是否进入加速蠕变阶段的计时器元件,组建一个非线性黏塑性加速蠕变启动模型,将该黏塑性模型与Burgers模型串联,构建一个新的非线性黏弹塑性蠕变模型,推导了该模型在常规三轴应力状态下的本构方程。基于试验结果,通过对非线性优化算法(BFGS)的Matlab编程,实现对本文提出蠕变模型的参数识别,识别效果比较理想。对比试验曲线与拟合曲线,二者相当吻合,验证了新提出的非线性黏弹塑性蠕变模型的正确性。     

Numerical simulations of inviscid and viscous free‐surface flows with application to nonlinear water waves

The purpose of the present study is to establish a numerical model appropriate for solving inviscid/viscous free‐surface flows related to nonlinear water wave propagation. The viscous model presented herein is based on the Navier–Stokes equations, and the free‐surface is calculated through an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian streamfunction‐vorticity formulation. The streamfunction field is governed by the Poisson equation, and the vorticity is obtained on the basis of the vorticity transport equation. For computing the inviscid flow the Laplace streamfunction equation is used. These equations together with the respective (appropriate) fully nonlinear free‐surface boundary conditions are solved using a finite difference method. To demonstrate the model feasibility, in the present study we first simulate collision processes of two solitary waves of different amplitudes, and compute the phenomenon of overtaking of such solitary waves. The developed model is subsequently applied to calculate (both inviscid and the viscous) flow field, as induced by passing of a solitary wave over submerged rectangular structures and rigid ripple beds. Our study provides a reasonably good understanding of the behavior of (inviscid/viscous) free‐surface flows, within the framework of streamfunction‐vorticity formulation. The successful simulation of the above‐mentioned test cases seems to suggest that the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian/streamfunction‐vorticity formulation is a potentially powerful approach, capable of effectively solving the fully nonlinear inviscid/viscous free‐surface flow interactions.

A microscopic damage model considering the change of void shape and application in the void closing

A microscopic damage model of ellipsoidal body containing ellipsoidal void for nonlinear matrix materials is developed under a particular coordinate. The change of void shape is considered in this model. The viscous restrained equation obtained from the model is affected by stress ∑_(ij), void volume fraction f, material strain rate exponent m as well as the void shape. Gurson's equation is modified from the numerical solution. The modified equation is suitable for the case of nonlinear matrix materials and changeable voids. Lastly, the model is used to analyze the closing process of voids.     

Aging, rejuvenation, and thixotropy in yielding magnetorheological fluids

The yielding behavior of dilute magnetorheological (MR) fluids has been investigated using creep–recovery tests. At very low stress levels, MR fluids behave in the linear viscoelastic regime as demonstrated by the fact that the instantaneous strain equals the instantaneous (elastic) recovery. In this region, gap-spanning field-induced structures support the stress levels applied. Upon increasing the stress value, the MR fluid evolves towards a nonlinear viscoelastic response. Here, the retarded elastic and viscous strain decrease, and the plastic contribution to the instantaneous strain grows probably due to the appearance of unattached field-induced structures. A larger stress value results in a viscoplastic solid behavior with negligible retarded and viscous strain and a fully plastic instantaneous strain. Finally, a plastic fluid behavior is found when the stress value is larger than the so-called yield stress. MR fluids exhibit an intermediate behavior between non-thixotropic (simple) and highly thixotropic model yield stress fluids.     

Nonlinear Fractional Order Viscoelasticity at Large Strains

In this paper, we formulate a fractional order viscoelastic model for large deformations and develop an algorithm for the integration of the constitutive response. The model is based on the multiplicative split of the deformation gradient into elastic and viscous parts. Further, the stress response is considered to be composed of a nonequilibrium part and an equilibrium part. The viscous part of the deformation gradient (here regarded as an internal variable) is governed by a nonlinear rate equation of fractional order. To solve the rate equation the finite element method in time is used in combination with Newton iterations. The method can handle nonuniform time meshes and uses sparse quadrature for the calculations of the fractional order integral. Moreover, the proposed model is compared to another large deformation viscoelastic model with a linear rate equation of fractional order. This is done by computing constitutive responses as well as structural dynamic responses of fictitious rubber materials.

Constitutive potential for void-containing nonlinear materials and void growth

Based on an analysis of the deformation of an isolated void in a finite nonlinear viscous material, we establish the constitutive potentials for voided nonlinearly viscous materials, from which the related curves of the macroscopic stress, the average flow stress of the matrix material and the void volume fraction f are derived. However, the theory applies equally well to small strain, rate-independent J₂ deformation theory solid. By considering the effects of the strain-hardening directly, a modifies Gurson equation are developed. Finally, we calculate the void relative growth-rates for the nonlinear materials, and in good agreement with existed numerical results.     

Flow of a fluid-solid mixture: Normal stress differences and slip boundary condition

In this paper, using mixture theory we study the flow of a dense suspension, composed of solid particles and a fluid; the emphasis is on the influence of the slip boundary condition and the effect of normal stress differences. Very little work has been done considering both the slip at the walls and the normal stress effects in the frame of a two-component flow. In this paper, the stress tensor for the solid component is modeled as a nonlinear fluid which not only includes the viscous effects but also the normal stress effects; the fluid constituent is modeled as a viscous fluid. We look at the flow between two flat plates.     

Calculations of two-dimensional nonstationary flows of a viscous gas blown into a short cylindrical channel

An investigation was made of the nonstationary problem of laminar axisymmetric flow of a viscous gas in a short cylindrical channel at one end of which the gas is blown in at an increasing rate with parabolic flow-rate profile; the other end is open. The problem was solved numerically on the basis of the complete two-dimensional system of Navier-Stokes equations for an ideal gas at the characteristic numbers M = 0.2, Pr = 1, Re = 20, 200, 2000. An investigation was made into the nonlinear process of pulsed excitation of longitudinal acoustic oscillations, which for Re = 2 000 give rise to separation flows. In this case, secondary oscillatory phenomena are observed in the separated viscous shear layers. The damping of the oscillations is treated on the basis of the proposed nonlinear model of the sound absorbing end wall.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. I, pp. 9–17, January–February, 1979.I thank G.

Analytical asymptotic solution of the problem of the nonlinear oscillations of a thick charged jet of viscous fluid

On the basis of second-order analytical asymptotic calculations the problem of the nonlinear oscillation of a uniformly charged jet of an electrically conductive viscous fluid is solved with account for the radial fluid velocity distribution in the jet. It is found that energy from the initially excited wave is gradually transmitted to a wave with double the wave number excited due to nonlinear interaction in the viscous jet, whereas in an ideal fluid the nonlinear correction amplitude is formed instantaneously at the initial instant.     

Nonlinear vibration of a rotating laminated composite circular cylindrical shell: traveling wave vibration

In this paper, the large-amplitude (geometrically nonlinear) vibrations of rotating, laminated composite circular cylindrical shells subjected to radial harmonic excitation in the neighborhood of the lowest resonances are investigated. Nonlinearities due to large-amplitude shell motion are considered using the Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory, with account taken of the effect of viscous structure damping. The dynamic Young’s modulus which varies with vibrational frequency of the laminated composite shell is considered. An improved nonlinear model, which needs not to introduce the Airy stress function, is employed to study the nonlinear forced vibrations of the present shells. The system is discretized by Galerkin’s method while a model involving two degrees of freedom, allowing for the traveling wave response of the shell, is adopted. The method of harmonic balance is applied to study the forced vibration responses of the two-degrees-of-freedom system. The stability of analytical steady-state solutions is analyzed. Results obtained with analytical method are compared with numerical simulation. The agreement between them bespeaks the validity of the method developed in this paper. The effects of rotating speed and some other parameters on the nonlinear dynamic response of the system are also investigated.     

Instantaneous Squeeze-Film Force Between a Heat Exchanger Tube and a Support Plate for Arbitrary Tube Motion

The instantaneous squeeze-film force between a heat exchanger tube and a support plate is studied. Based on a two-dimensional rectangular plate model, a short-sleeve squeeze-film model for arbitrary tube motion is developed. The instantaneous squeeze-film force is expressed in normal and tangential directions. The normal squeeze-film force consists of four nonlinear terms, the viscous, unsteady inertia, convective inertia and centripetal inertia terms. Three nonlinear terms, the viscous, unsteady inertia and Coriolis inertia terms, make up the tangential squeeze-film force. An experimental apparatus was developed in order to evaluate the theoretical models against measurements of a finite length squeeze film. A modified model based on the experimental data is obtained where the viscous terms for both directions are multiplied by the instantaneous Reynolds number. All the inertia terms are multiplied by constant coefficients. The modified model is in good agreement with most experimental cases for unsymmetrical linear motion, approximate circular motion and elliptical motion. The form of the modified model is suitable for predicting instantaneous squeeze-film forces in the simulation of heat exchanger tube vibration. Further work using different sized components and fluid properties is required in order to finalize coefficient values.

Numerical modeling of the acoustic wave dynamics on the basis of a kinetic approach

The results of the numerical modeling of a viscous compressible flow on a finite one-dimensional interval with periodic boundary conditions on the basis of a model kinetic equation are presented. The flow is excited by a small time-dependent force, periodic in space and time. It is shown that when the periodicity interval length L ≥ 10³ nonlinear steady oscillations with sharp temporal and spatial variations of the parameters arise. The system dynamics are investigated by means a pseudospectral method using the standard fast Fourier transformation procedure.     

Numerical investigation of effect of rolling manipulation of traditional Chinese medical massage on blood flow

The hemodynamic mechanism of rolling manipulation (RM) of traditional Chinese medical massage (TCMM) is investigated. An axisymmetrical nonlinear model and an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method (ALE-FEM) with rezoning algorithm were introduced to study the viscous flow through an axisymmetrical rigid tube with axially moving stenosis to simulate the rolling manipulation. Flow rate and wall shear stress were obtained by solving complete Navier-Stokes equations numerically. The numerical results show that the stenosis moving frequency, namely the frequency of rolling manipulation, has great effect on the disturbance of flow and the wall shear stress. The stenosis coefficient, which characterizes the severity of the stenosis, another adjustable parameter in rolling manipulation, also shows the significant effect on flow rate and wall shear stress. These numerical results may provide some data that can be taken into consideration when massage is used in clinic.
