The flow of the Casson fluid due to non-coaxial rotation of a disk and the fluid at infinity is investigated. Partial differential equations are made dimensionless and coupled. The exact solution of the resultant nonlinear initial-boundary-value problem is solved by applying the Laplace transform. The shear stresses at the disk surface and the steady state stresses are computed. The effects of dimensionless parameters on the dimensionless primary and secondary velocities are analyzed.     

Flow due to non-coaxial rotation of a porous disk and a second grade fluid rotating at infinity

An exact solution for the three-dimensional flow due to non-coaxial rotation of a porous disk and a second grade fluid at infinity is obtained. It is shown that for uniform suction or uniform blowing at the disk, an asymptotic profile exists for the velocity distribution. The velocity depends on two parameters: one of them is the suction parameter or blowing parameter and the other is the visco-elastic parameter. Furthermore, it is found that when the value of the visco-elastic parameter is fixed, the velocity decreases with an increase in the value of the suction parameter and when the value of the suction parameter is fixed, the velocity increases with an increase in the value of the visco-elastic parameter.

An exact solution of the Navier-Stokes equation is constructed for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow. The flow is due to non-coaxially rotations of a porous disk with slip condition and a fluid at infinity. The solutions for steady and unsteady cases are obtained by Laplace transform method.

Oscillatory flow due to eccentrically rotating porous disk and a fluid at infinity

An analytical solution of the unsteady Navier–Stokes equations is obtained for the flow due to non-coaxial rotations of an oscillating porous disk and a fluid at infinity, rotating about an axis parallel to the axes of rotation of the disk through a fixed point. The velocity distributions and the shear stresses at the disk are obtained for three different cases when the frequency parameter is greater than, equal to or less than the rotation parameter. The flow has a boundary layer structure even in the case of blowing at the disk.     

Some Steady MHD Flows of the Second Order Fluid

The exact analytic solutions of two problems of a second order fluid in presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field are investigated. The governing equation is of fourth order ordinary differential equation and is solved using perturbation method. In the first problem we discuss the flow of a second order fluid due to non-coaxial rotations of a porous disk and a fluid at infinity. In second problem the flow of a second order conducting fluid between two infinite plates rotating about the same axis is investigated, with suction or blowing along the axial direction. For second order conducting fluid it is observed that asymptotic solution exists for the velocity both in the case of suction and blowing.     

Thermodynamic Automaton Simulations of Fluid Flow and Diffusion in Porous Media

A thermodynamic automaton model of fluid flow in porous media is presented. The model is a nonrelativistic version of a Lorentz invariant lattice gas model constructed by Udey et al. (1998). In the previous model it was shown that the energy momentum tensor and the relativistic Boltzman equation can be rigorously derived from the collision and propagation rules. In the present paper we demonstrate that this nonrelativistic model can be used to accurately simulate well known results involving single phase flow and diffusion in porous media. The simulation results show that (1) one-phase flow simulations in porous media are consistent with Darcy's law; (2) the apparent diffusion coefficient decreases with a decrease in permeability; (3) small scale heterogeneity does not affect diffusion significantly in the cases considered.

An analytic dependence describing the trajectory of the leading contamination front is obtained and the depth of penetration of the spill into the soil is found. The block contamination profile is determined.     

Theoretical Analysis of Viscous Coupling in Two-phase Flow through Porous Media

Theoretical analysis is presented to quantify the viscous coupling effect in two-phase flow through porous media. The analysis is based on the principle of potential difference equations as well as on the interfacial contact area and partition concept. The analysis shows that viscous coupling effect is negligible throughout the normalized saturation range. The expression, Xϕ ², was developed for the quantification of the parameter that controls the amount of viscous coupling, where X was theoretically found to have a maximum value of 2.

Instability of an Oscillating Cylinder in a Circulation Flow of Ideal Fluid

The problem of the stability of a circular cylinder in a circulation flow is considered under the condition that the cylinder can perform both free (free cylinder) and forced oscillations (cylinder on a spring). It is shown that this simple system can be unstable in the presence of flow vorticity. Particular cases of vorticity distributions which make it possible to obtain an analytic solution are considered. The case of weak monotonically decreasing vorticity of an arbitrary form is analyzed for an arbitrary relation between the densities of the cylinder and the fluid. It turns out that the instability can develop only for a cylinder whose density is greater than that of the fluid. An approximate method of solving this problem based on consideration of the energy balance in the system is constructed. This makes it possible to obtain an expression for the growth rates and explain the physical mechanism realizing the instability, which is associated with the possibility of energy transfer from perturbations in the critical layer to the cylinder oscillations.     

Flow of a Nonlinearly Viscous Fluid over the Surface of a Rotating Flat Disk

The flow of a nonlinearly viscous (power-law) fluid over the surface of a rotating flat disk is investigated. A solution form which makes it possible to reduce the complete system of partial differential equations to a system of ordinary differential equations is found. This system is integrated using the Runge-Kutta method and reduction to a Cauchy problem on the basis of Newton's method. The velocity and pressure fields in a power-law fluid film flowing over the surface of a rotating flat disk are found numerically.     

Diffuse-interface Modeling of Two-phase Flow for a One-component Fluid in a Porous Medium

The diffuse-interface (DI) model for the two-phase flow of a one-component fluid in a porous medium has been presented by Papatzacos [2002, Transport Porous Media 49, 139–174] and by Papatzacos and Skjæveland [2004, SPE J. (March 2004), 47–56]. Its main characteristics are: (i) a unified treatment of two phases as manifestations of one fluid with a van der Waals type equation of state, (ii) the inclusion of wetting, and (iii) the absence of relative permeabilities. The present paper completes the presentation by including the implementation of wetting in the general case of a mixed-wet rock. As a result of this implementation, some statements are made about capillary pressure, confirming similar statements by Hassanizadeh and Gray [1993, Water Resour. Res. 29, 3389–3405]. As an application of the model, we show that relative permeabilities depend on the spatial derivatives of the saturation.     

Flow of a third grade fluid due to an accelerated disk

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow induced by non‐coaxial rotation of porous disk and a third grade fluid at infinity is investigated. The disk is moving with uniform acceleration and rotating with a uniform angular velocity. Numerical solution of the governing nonlinear initial and boundary value problem is obtained. The effects of physical parameters on the velocity profiles are examined in detail. The present study shows that the constant acceleration part has a greater influence than the time part of the assumed variable velocity of the disk. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Unsteady Self-Similar Flow of a Viscous Incompressible Fluid in a Plane Divergent Channel

The problem of two-dimensional unsteady flow of a viscous incompressible fluid in a sector-like domain is considered. Initially a strictly radial flow is imposed, which makes it possible to seek solutions within the class of self-similar flows. A numerical method based on mixed finite-difference and spectral spatial discretization is developed, making it possible to find the self-similar solution efficiently. The process of development and establishment of the steady Hamel-Jeffery and Moffatt flows is modeled mathematically.     

Buoyant Flow with Viscous Heating in a Vertical Circular Duct Filled with a Porous Medium

Combined, forced, and free flow in a vertical circular duct filled with a porous medium is investigated according to the Darcy–Boussinesq model. The effect of viscous dissipation is taken into account. It is shown that a thermal boundary condition compatible with fully developed and axisymmetric flow is either a linearly varying wall temperature in the axial direction or, only in the case of uniform velocity profile, an axial linear-exponential wall temperature change. The case of a linearly varying wall temperature corresponds to a uniform wall heat flux and includes the uniform wall temperature as a special case. A general analytical solution procedure is performed, by expressing the seepage velocity profile as a power series with respect to the radial coordinate. It is shown that, for a fixed thermal boundary condition, i.e., for a prescribed slope of the wall temperature, and for a given flow rate, there exist two solutions of the governing balance equations provided that the flow rate is lower than a maximum value. When the maximum value is reached, the dual solutions coincide. When the flow rate is higher than its maximum, no axisymmetric solutions exist. E.

可压缩气体定常非Darcy渗流的流动分析及其应用

气体通过多孔介质的非Darcy流动具有广泛的工程应用背景，因此对多孔介质中的气体非Darcy流动进行流动分析有着非常重要的意义。然而，在通常的研究中，一般都将气体考虑为不可压缩流体，很少考虑气体的压缩性。对于高压气体以较高的速度通过多孔介质的情况，在进行流动分析时，不仅要考虑非Darcy效应，还必须考虑气体的压缩性。在本文中，对可压缩气体通过多孔介质的定常非Darcy流动进行了一维流动分析，得出了多孔介质中气体的压力分布和速度分布。还进一步给出了在高压差和高流速情况下，测定多孔介质材料渗透率和惯性系数的方法，以及多孔介质材料前后压力差与材料厚度的比Δp/L和材料有气流速度u1的解析关系。
