Heat transfer in a second-order fluid for flow around a circular cylinder

The temperature distribution within the thermal boundary layer region due to the flow of an incompressible second-order fluid around a heated circular cylinder, maintained at a constant temperature higher than that of the fluid at infinity, has been obtained near the forward stagnation point by series expansion. The graph of the Nusselt number Nu for the Prandtl number P = 25 and the Eckert number E = 0.1 indicates that the non-Newtonian effect is to increase the heat flux from the cylinder to the liquid in the region 0° ? θ ? 15.7° and to decrease it in the region 15.7° < θ ? 0₀ where θ is the angular distance on the cylinder measured from the forward stagnation point. The critical point θ₀ at which Nu = 0, that is, where the effect of the frictional heating balances the effect of the temperature difference and there is no heat flux either from the cylinder or from the liquid, shifts towards the forward stagnation point with the increase of non-Newtonian effects.     

Very slow flow of Bingham viscoplastic fluid around a circular cylinder

Numerical simulations have been used to study the flow of a Bingham viscoplastic fluid around a circular cylinder in an infinite medium with negligible inertia effects. Papanastasiou's regularisation technique has been adopted to approximate the model. The case corresponding to preponderant plasticity effects has been particularly studied and convergence of the solutions examined in detail. The flow kinematics and stresses have been determined. The rigid zones have been identified and characterised. At large Oldroyd numbers, when plasticity effects become preponderant, a viscoplastic boundary layer appears around the cylinder. The characteristics of this viscoplastic boundary layer are quantified. The results are compared with existing theoretical results, concerning particularly the predictions of the viscoplastic boundary layer theory and the plasticity theory.

Mixed convection from a cylinder oscillating vertically in a quiescent fluid

 The problem of heat convection from a vertically oscillating cylinder in a quiescent fluid is investigated. The governing equations of motion and energy are solved numerically in a non-inertial frame of references to determine the flow field and heat transfer characteristics under different conditions. The main dominating parameters are Keulegan–Carpenter number, KC, frequency parameter, β, Grashof number, Gr and Prandtl number, Pr. The ranges considered for these parameters are KC ≤ 10, β≤40 and Gr ≤ 10⁵ while Prandtl number is kept constant. The study revealed that the effect of amplitude and frequency of oscillation on heat transfer is strongly influenced by the Grashof number range. In the forced convection regime (Gr = 0), the increase of KC creates extensive vortex motion at all cylinder positions that leads to a significant increase in heat transfer. A similar trend, but with a lesser extent, is also observed for the increase of β. However, at high Grashof numbers, the effect of oscillation on heat convection is only significant at large values of KC. Received on 5 June 2000 / Published online: 29 November 2001

Steady and modulated flow of an Ostwald fluid around a rotating disk

The solutions of the continuity equation and the equations of motion of the flow in the vicinity of a rotating disk have been established for an Ostwald fluid under steady-state conditions and in modulated flow around a mean value. Under steady-state conditions, the kinematics of the flow is scarcely dependent on the rheological parameters close to the disk, however, for n < 1 long-range effects have been put forward. For modulated flow, in the high-frequency range, a behaviour very different from that observed for a Newtonian fluid was found. In the low-frequency range an asymptotic solution has been proposed which is of special interest in mass transfer problems.Presented at the Second Conference of European Rheologists, Prague, June 17–20, 1986     

Quantitative interpretation of vortices from a cylinder oscillating in quiescent fluid

 The instantaneous, quantitative patterns of vortices arising from sinusoidal oscillation of a cylinder in quiescent fluid are experimentally characterized for the first time using high-image-density particle image velocimetry. The near-wake does not indicate a separated layer of distributed vorticity leading to a single, large-scale vortex. Rather, for sufficiently high Reynolds number, a sequence of small-scale vorticity concentrations is formed. Agglomeration of only a fraction of the adjacent concentrations forms a larger-scale vortex. Simultaneously, vorticity concentrations of opposite sense are formed along the base (rear) of the cylinder. Streamline patterns typically indicate, however, only the larger-scale vortex; it has a circulation smaller than the total circulation of all vorticity concentrations that are not revealed by the streamlines. These observations are interpreted in the context of the effective resolution of the flow images. Received: 27 October 1995 / Accepted: 27 August 1996     

Fluctuating flow in a rotating fluid

Summary Fluctuating flow of a viscous fluid rotating over a disk whose angular velocity oscillates about a nonzero mean is investigated. Initially the disk and the fluid rotate in the same sense with different angular velocities ₁ and ₂ ( ₂> ₁) and at a particular instant of time, the angular velocity of the disk becomes ₁[1+ sin( )]. The problem is solved as an initial boundary value problem and it is found that for small values of the results of analytical and numerical methods are in excellent agreement. The effect of frequency parameter on surface skin frictions has been analysed for various values of angular velocity ratio s and amplitude parameter .

Fluktuierende Strömung in einer rotierenden Flüssigkeit

Übersicht Untersucht wird die fluktuierende Strömung einer viskosen Flüssigkeit, die über einer Scheibe, deren Winkelgeschwindigkeit um einen von Null verschiedenen Mittelwert schwankt, rotiert. Anfangs drehen sich die Scheibe und die Flüssigkeit gleichsinnig, aber mit verschiedenen Winkelgeschwindigkeiten ₁ und ₂ ( ₂> ₁). Zu einem Anfangszeitpunkt geht die Winkelgeschwindigkeit der Scheibe über in ₁[1+ sin ( )]. Die Aufgabe wird als Anfangs-/Randwertproblem gelöst. Für kleine Werte stimmen die analytischen und numerischen Ergebnisse hervorragend überein. Für verschiedene Werte des Winkelgeschwindigkeitsverhältnisses und des Amplitudenparameters wurde der Einfluß des Frequenzparameters auf die Reibspannungen an der Scheibe untersucht.

     

Turbulent flow dynamics caused by a truncated cylinder

The turbulent flow field around a quite simple geometry has been analysed in detail based on a snapshot database taken from numerical simulation. Here, emphasis is placed on the dominant coherent motion and the flow dynamics in the separated wake. The method-based analysis is performed using POD, filtering and phase-averaging. The results obtained show a highly intermittent flow topology, which reveals different (at least three) recurring vortex arrangements, but with considerably stochastic character. Corresponding frequencies, the periodicity as well as correlation and interaction of predominant vortex motions are discussed. The methods employed are not limited to the configuration exemplarily chosen.

Convection of a heat-generating fluid in a rotating horizontal cylinder

Thermal convection of a fluid in a horizontal cylinder rotating about its own axis with uniformly volume-distributed internal heat sources is experimentally investigated. The enclosure boundary temperature was kept constant. The threshold of the excitation of convective flows and their structure are studied as functions of the heat-release intensity and the rotation velocity. The experiments are performed with water and water-glycerin solutions. It is shown that rapidly rotating fluid is in a stable quasiequilibrium state, namely, the temperature distribution is axisymmetric and has a maximum at the center of the enclosure. It is found that with decrease in the rotation velocity a convective flow arises thresholdwise, in the form of vortex cells periodically arranged along the axis. The thermal convection in the rotating enclosure is shown to be determined by the effects of two different mechanisms. One of these is due to the centrifugal force of inertia and plays the stabilizing role, while the other, thermovibrational mechanism is connected with nonisothermal fluid oscillations under the action of gravity in the enclosure-fitted reference frame and is responsible for the occurrence of mean thermal convection. The boundaries of the convection generation are plotted in the plane of the governing dimensionless parameters and the heat transfer in the supercritical region is studied.     

Heat transfer from a circular cylinder rotating about an orthogonal axis in quiescent air

Direct measurements of local heat flux and temperature from rotating cylinders have been carried out using Gardon type foil heat flux sensors and a power supply cum instrumentation slip ring set up. The local and average heat transfer results are presented covering a rotational Reynolds number range of 2 × 10⁴ to 6.2 x 10⁴ corresponding to the speeds varying from 400 to 1,400 rpm. A correlation has been derived for peripherally averaged values of Nusselt numbers: . The values of surface average Nusselt number for the cylinder under the present rotating conditions are found to be higher than for a stationary cylinder in crossflow and for a cylinder rotating about its own axis, in the range of present experiments.Research scholar on leave from Faculty of Engineering, Port Said, Egypt
