SECOND-ORDER MOMENT MODEL FOR DENSE TWO-PHASE TURBULENT FLOW OF BINGHAM FLUID WITH PARTICLES

The USM-θmodel of Bingham fluid for dense two-phase turbulent flow was developed, which combines the second-order moment model for two-phase turbulence with the particle kinetic theory for the inter-particle collision. In this model, phases interaction and the extra term of Bingham fluid yield stress are taken into account. An algorithm for USM-θmodel in dense two-phase flow was proposed, in which the influence of particle volume fraction is accounted for. This model was used to simulate turbulent flow of Bingham fluid single-phase and dense liquid-particle two-phase in pipe. It is shown USM-θmodel has better prediction result than the five-equation model, in which the particle-particle collision is modeled by the particle kinetic theory, while the turbulence of both phase is simulated by the two-equation turbulence model. The USM-θmodel was then used to simulate the dense two-phase turbulent up flow of Bingham fluid with particles. With the increasing of the yield stress, the velocities of Bingham and particle decrease near the pipe centre. Comparing the two-phase flow of Bingham-particle with that of liquid-particle, it is found the source term of yield stress has significant effect on flow.     

Peristaltic flow of a Bingham fluid in a channel

We study the peristaltic transport of a Bingham fluid in a channel with small aspect ratio whose walls behave as a periodic traveling wave. The governing equations in the unyielded phase are obtained writing the integral formulation for the momentum balance. As shown in Fusi et al. (2015), this approach allows to overcome the so-called “lubrication paradox” which may arise in the thin film approximation. We consider the case in which the inlet flux is prescribed and the one in which the flow is driven by a given pressure drop. In both cases the solution of the problem is determined solving a nonlinear integral equation for the yield surface. We perform some numerical simulations to illustrate the behavior of the yield surface, assuming that the traveling wave describing the peristaltic motion has a sinusoidal shape.     

Heat transfer and Helmholtz-Smoluchowski velocity in Bingham fluid flow

A mathematical study is developed for the electro-osmotic flow of a nonNewtonian fluid in a wavy microchannel in which a Bingham viscoplastic fluid model is considered. For electric potential distributions, a Poisson-Boltzmann equation is employed in the presence of an electrical double layer(EDL). The analytical solutions of dimensionless boundary value problems are obtained with the Debye-Huckel theory, the lubrication theory, and the long wavelength approximations. The effects of the Debyelen...

On the stability of a Bingham fluid flow in an annular channelSur la stabilité de l'écoulement d'un fluide de Bingham dans une conduite annulaire

Linear stability of a fully developed Bingham fluid flow between two coaxial cylinders subject to infinitesimal axisymetric perturbations is investigated. The analysis leads to two uncoupled Orr–Sommerfeld equations with appropriate boundary conditions. The numerical solution is obtained using fourth order finite difference scheme. The computations were performed for various plug flow dimensions and radii ratios. Within the range of the parameters considered in this paper, the Poiseuille flow of Bingham fluid is found to be linearly stable. To cite this article: N. Kabouya, C. Nouar, C. R.

Dispersion in a Bingham plastic fluid: Effects of peripheral layer

The dispersion of a soluble matter in a plastic fluid flowing through a tube and a channel has been analysed by taking into account the variations of viscosity, diffusivity and yield stress. It has been shown that in the special case of a Bingham fluid, surrounded by a peripheral layer of a Newtonian fluid, the effective dispersion coefficient with which the solute disperses across a plane moving with the mean speed of the flow decreases with the viscosity of the peripheral layer fluid but increases as the molecular diffusion coefficient of this layer decreases. Further, the effective dispersion coefficient also decreases as the yield stress of the Bingham fluid increases.     

Squeeze flow of Bingham fluids under slip with friction boundary condition

This paper develops a theoretical analysis of a Bingham fluid in slipping squeeze flow. The flow field decomposition consists in combining a central extensional flow zone in the plane of symmetry and shear flow zones near the plates. It is also considered that the slipping zone is located around a central sticking zone as previously shown from experiments. It is assumed that the shear stress at the plates is constant in the slipping zone and equals a fixed friction yield value. The squeeze force required to compress a Bingham fluid under the slipping behaviour as well as the radial evolution of the transition point between both sticking and slipping zones are finally determined.     

The linear stability of plane Poiseuille flow under unsteady distortion

This paper investigates the linear stability behaviour of plane Poiseuille flow underunsteady distortion by multiscale perturbation method and discusses further the problemproposed by paper[1].The results show that in the initial period of disturbancedevelopment,the distortion profiles presented by paper[1]will make the disturbances growup,thus augmenting the possibility of instability.     

Simulation of forming processes by FEM with a Bingham fluid model

We model the forming process as a fluid flow. A finite element program, FIDAP, which analyses flow problems, was used to calculate velocity and strain rates at points throughout the material during the deformation process. This allows predictions to be made on the shape and quality of the resulting part. The stress-strain relation we used models the plastic flow of metals (Bingham fluids). The FEM approximation of such a fluid is tested by comparing results for a simple analytical example. In forming processes provision must be made for friction between dye and workpiece, and the program was modified accordingly. Two classical ring forming simulations are compared to published results.     

Start-up Flow of a Bingham Fluid in a Pipe

We present an analytical solution of axisymmetric motion for a Bingham fluid initially at rest subjected to a constant pressure gradient applied suddenly. Using the Laplace transform, we obtain expressions which allow the calculation of the instantaneous velocity, plug radius and rate of flow as a function of time. We also give a relation for the shear stress in the plug and in the region where the behaviour of the fluid is Newtonian.

Finite element analysis of the duct flow of Bingham plastic fluids: an application of the variational inequality

The duct flow of Bingham plastic fluids is analysed with the variational inequality-based finite element method. The problem of tracking the yield surface is solvable through the regularization technique which can be easily incorporated into the existing finite element code. The existence theorem of this method was established through the theory of variational inequalities. A small positive constant is added to the second shear rate invariant, resulting in an apparent viscosity of finite magnitude in the unyielding plug zone. This makes the minimization of the non-differential variational integral possible. In order to achieve convergence at small regularization parameter, a zero-order continuation is employed. It is also shown that a fine tessellation of the flow domain is necessary for tracking the yield surfaces unambiguously. Two classes of duct flow, namely axial flows in eccentric annuli and in an L-shaped duct, were investigated. In both cases it was easy to show the presence of the mobile plugs around the duct centres from the axial velocity profiles; however, the stagnant plugs at the narrow side in eccentric annuli with large eccentricity and near the apex of right-angled corners in an L-shaped duct could only be identified from the calculation of the distributions of the second shear rate or shear stress invariant. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Layered model of electrorheological fluid under flow

We present a theoretical model of the behavior of a concentrated electrorheological fluid (ERF) which explicitly takes into account the effects of conductivity. The increase in shear viscosity under an electric field is due to a layered structure between the electrodes, made up of the remnants of particle chains adhering to the electrodes by electrostatic image forces, and a freely flowing liquid layer where all the shear flow is concentrated. This layered model can explain the variation of electric current with shear rate, as well as the rheological response of a dynamic yield stress proportional to the square of the applied electric field.

Couette flow of a Bingham plastic in a channel with equally porous parallel walls

In the present paper the flow of a Bingham fluid between two parallel porous walls is studied. One of the walls moves with constant velocity parallel to the other, which is fixed, while a longitudinal pressure gradient exists, as well as a transverse flow field due the porosity of the walls. An exact analytical solution is given for the u-velocity field, which has four different forms depending on the values of the three dimensionless parameters, which are the Bingham, Couette and Reynolds numbers.     

Thermal instability of a viscoelastic fluid in a fluid-porous system with a plane Poiseuille flow

The thermal convection of a Jeffreys fluid subjected to a plane Poiseuille flow in a fluid-porous system composed of a fluid layer and a porous layer is studied in the paper. A linear stability analysis and a Chebyshev τ-QZ algorithm are employed to solve the thermal mixed convection. Unlike the case in a single layer, the neutral curves of the two-layer system may be bi-modal in the proper depth ratio of the two layers. We find that the longitudinal rolls(LRs) only depend on the depth ratio. Wi...     

Instability of Bingham fluids in Taylor-Dean flow between two concentric cylinders at arbitrary gap spacings

Stability of Bingham fluids is investigated numerically in azimuthal pressure-driven flow between two infinitely long concentric cylinders. An infinitesimal perturbation is introduced to the basic flow and its time evolution is monitored using normal mode linear stability analysis. An eigenvalue problem is obtained which is solved numerically using pseudo-spectral collocation method. Numerical results are obtained for two different cases: (i) the inner cylinder is rotating at constant velocity while the outer cylinder is fixed (i.e., the Taylor-Dean flow) and (ii) both cylinders are fixed (i.e., the Dean flow). The results show that the yield stress always has a stabilizing effect on the Taylor-Dean flow. But, for the Dean flow the effect of the yield stress is predicted to be stabilizing or destabilizing depending on the magnitude of the Bingham number and also the gap size.
