Correlations between porous medium flow data and turbulent tube flow results for aqueous hydroxypropylguar solutions (Part 2)

Turbulent tube flow and the flow through a porous medium of aqueous hydroxypropylguar (HPG) solutions in concentrations from 100 wppm to 5000 wppm is investigated. Taking the rheological flow curves into account reveals that the effectiveness in turbulent tube flow and the efficiency for the flow through a porous medium both start at the same onset wall shear stress of 1.3 Pa. The similarity of the curves = ( _w ) and = ( _w ), respectively, leads to a simple linear relation / =k, where the constantk or proportionality depends uponc. This offers the possibility to deduce (for turbulent tube flow) from (for flow through a porous medium). In conjunction with rheological data, will reveal whether, and if yes to what extent, drag reduction will take place (even at high concentrations).The relation of our treatment to the model-based Deborah number concept is shown and a scale-up formula for the onset in turbulent tube flow is deduced as well.     

The stokes problems for a conducting fluid with a suspension of particles

The Stokes problems of an incompressible, viscous, conducting fluid with embedded small spherical particles over an infinite plate, set into motion in its plane by impulse and by oscillation, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, are studied. The velocities of the fluid and of the particles and the wall shear stress are obtained. The stress is found to increase due to the particles and the magnetic field, with the effect of the particles diminishing as the field strength is increased.Nomenclature H ₀ strength of the imposed magnetic field - k density ratio of particles to fluid (per unit volume of flow field) - m _e ² H ₀ ² / - t time - y co-ordinate normal to the plate - u fluid velocity - v particle velocity - _e magnetic permeability of the fluid - kinematic viscosity of the fluid - electric conductivity of the fluid - fluid density - particle relaxation time - frequency of oscillation of the plate     

Flow in porous media I: A theoretical derivation of Darcy's law

Stokes flow through a rigid porous medium is analyzed in terms of the method of volume averaging. The traditional averaging procedure leads to an equation of motion and a continuity equation expressed in terms of the volume-averaged pressure and velocity. The equation of motion contains integrals involving spatial deviations of the pressure and velocity, the Brinkman correction, and other lower-order terms. The analysis clearly indicates why the Brinkman correction should not be used to accommodate ano slip condition at an interface between a porous medium and a bounding solid surface.The presence of spatial deviations of the pressure and velocity in the volume-averaged equations of motion gives rise to aclosure problem, and representations for the spatial deviations are derived that lead to Darcy's law. The theoretical development is not restricted to either homogeneous or spatially periodic porous media; however, the problem ofabrupt changes in the structure of a porous medium is not considered.Roman Letters A interfacial area of the - interface contained within the macroscopic system, m² - A _e area of entrances and exits for the -phase contained within the macroscopic system, m² - A interfacial area of the - interface contained within the averaging volume, m² - A ^* interfacial area of the - interface contained within a unit cell, m² - Ae area of entrances and exits for the -phase contained within a unit cell, m² - B second order tensor used to represent the velocity deviation (see Equation (3.30)) - b vector used to represent the pressure deviation (see Equation (3.31)), m^–1 - d distance between two points at which the pressure is measured, m - g gravity vector, m/s² - K Darcy's law permeability tensor, m² - L characteristic length scale for volume averaged quantities, m - characteristic length scale for the -phase (see Figure 2), m - characteristic length scale for the -phase (see Figure 2), m - n unit normal vector pointing from the -phase toward the -phase (n =–n ) - n _e unit normal vector for the entrances and exits of the -phase contained within a unit cell - p pressure in the -phase, N/m² - p intrinsic phase average pressure for the -phase, N/m² - p –p , spatial deviation of the pressure in the -phase, N/m² - r ₀ radius of the averaging volume and radius of a capillary tube, m - v velocity vector for the -phase, m/s - v phase average velocity vector for the -phase, m/s - v intrinsic phase average velocity vector for the -phase, m/s - v –v , spatial deviation of the velocity vector for the -phase, m/s - V averaging volume, m³ - V volume of the -phase contained within the averaging volume, m³ Greek Letters V/V, volume fraction of the -phase - mass density of the -phase, kg/m³ - viscosity of the -phase, Nt/m² - arbitrary function used in the representation of the velocity deviation (see Equations (3.11) and (B1)), m/s - arbitrary function used in the representation of the pressure deviation (see Equations (3.12) and (B2)), s^–1

The turbulent boundary layer in an immersed air jet traveling along a burning graphite wall is analyzed. In order to study the heat and mass transfer and the friction in the boundary layer, a method of calculation based on the solution of the integrated energy and momentum relations is employed, allowing for the conservative properties of the turbulent boundary layer at the wall [1].Notation x longitudinal coordinate - y transverse coordinate - s height of slot - thickness of boundary layer - * displacement thickness - ** momentum-loss thickness - velocity - j transverse mass flow (flux) - density - T temperature - i total enthalpy - temperature factor - ₁ enthalpy factor - k reduced concentration of the i-th component - tangential stress - b permeability parameter - C₁ form (shape) parameter - dynamic viscosity coefficient - c _f friction coefficient - relative friction coefficient Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 1, pp. 60–67, January–February, 1971.

Electrode layers in flows of an inviscid plasma with good conductivity

The structure of the electromagnetic electrode layers that are produced in flows across a magnetic field by a completely ionized and inviscid plasma with good conductivity and a high magnetic Reynolds number is examined in a linear approximation. Flow past a corrugated wall and flow in a plane channel of slowly varying cross section with segmented electrodes are taken as specific examples. The possibility is demonstrated of the formation of nondissipative electrode layers with thicknesses on the order of the Debye distance or electron Larmor radius and of dissipative layers with thicknesses on the order of the skin thickness, as calculated from the diffusion rate in a magnetic field [2].In plasma flow in a transverse magnetic field, near the walls, along with the gasdynamie boundary layers, which owe their formation to viscosity, thermal conductivity, etc. (because of the presence of electromagnetic fields, their structures may vary considerably from that of ordinary gasdynamic layers), proper electromagnetic boundary layers may also be produced. An example of such layers is the Debye layer in which the quasi-neutrality of the plasma is upset. No less important, in a number of cases, is the quasi-neutral electromagnetic boundary layer, in which there is an abrupt change in the frozen-in parameter k=B/p (B is the magnetic field and p is the density of the medium). This layer plays a special role when we must explicitly allow for the Hall effect and the related formation of a longitudinal electric field (in the direction of the veloeiryv of the medium). We will call this the magnetic layer. The magnetic boundary layer can be dissipative as well as noudissipative (see below). The dissipative magnetic layer has been examined in a number of papers: for an incompressible medium with a given motion law in [1], for a compressible medium with good conductivity in [2], and with poor conductivity in [3]. In the present paper, particular attention will be devoted to nondissipative magnetic boundary layers.     

Viscoelastic swirling flow with free surface in cylindrical chambers

The flow of a viscoelastic liquid driven by the steadily rotating bottom cover of a cylindrical cup is investigated. The flow field and the shape of the free surface are determined at the lowest significant orders of the regular domain perturbation in terms of the angular velocity of the bottom cap. The meridional field superposed on a primary azimuthal field shows a structure of multiple cells. The velocity field and the shape of the free surface are strongly effected by the cylinder aspect ratio and the elasticity of the liquid. The use of this flow configuration as a free surface rheometer to determine the first two Rivlin-Ericksen constants is shown to be promising.Nomenclature R, ,Z Coordinates in the physical domain D - , , Coordinates in the rest stateD ₀ - r, ,z Dimensionless coordinates in the rest stateD ₀ - Angular velocity - Zero shear viscosity - Surface tension coefficient - Density - Dimensionless surface tension parameter - ₁, ₂ The first two Rivlin-Ericksen constants - Stream function - Dimensionless second order meridional stream function - ^* Dimensionless second normal stress function - 2 Dimensionless sum of the first and second normal stress functions - N ₁,N ₂ The first and second normal stress functions - n Unit normal vector - D Stretching tensor - A _n nth order Rivlin-Ericksen tensor - S Extra-stress - u Velocity field - U Dimensionless second order meridional velocity field - V Dimensionless first order azimuthal velocity field - p Pressure - Modified pressure field - P Dimensionless second order pressure field - J Mean curvature - a Cylinder radius - d Liquid depth at rest - D Dimensionless liquid depth at rest - h Free surface height - H Dimensionless free surface height at the second order     

On the prediction of riblet performance with engineering turbulence models

The paper reports the outcome of a numerical study of fully developed flow through a plane channel composed of ribleted surfaces adopting a two-equation turbulence model to describe turbulent mixing. Three families of riblets have been examined: idealized blade-type, V-groove and a novel U-form that, according to computations, achieves a superior performance to that of the commercial V-groove configuration. The maximum drag reduction attained for any particular geometry is broadly in accord with experiment though this optimum occurs for considerably larger riblet heights than measurements indicate. Further explorations bring out a substantial sensitivity in the level of drag reduction to the channel Reynolds number below values of 15 000 as well as to the thickness of the blade riblet. The latter is in accord with the trends of very recent, independent experimental studies.Possible shortcomings in the model of turbulence are discussed particularly with reference to the absence of any turbulence-driven secondary motions when an isotropic turbulent viscosity is adopted. For illustration, results are obtained for the case where a stress transport turbulence model is adopted above the riblet crests, an elaboration that leads to the formation of a plausible secondary motion sweeping high momentum fluid towards the wall close to the riblet and thereby raising momentum transport.Nomenclature c _f Skin friction coefficient - c _f Skin friction coefficient in smooth channel at the same Reynolds number - k Turbulent kinetic energy - K ⁺ k/ _w - h Riblet height - S Riblet width - H Half height of channel - Re Reynolds number = volume flow/unit width/ - Modified turbulent Reynolds number - R _t turbulent Reynolds numberk ²/ - P _k Shear production rate ofk, _t (U _i /x _j + U _j /x _i ) U _i /x _j - dP/dz Streamwise static pressure gradient - U _i Mean velocity vector (tensor notation) - U Friction velocity, _w/ where _w=–H dP/dz - W Mean velocity - W _b Bulk mean velocity through channel - y ⁺ yU /v.

Application of the method of integral diffusion to investigation of turbulent transfer

A number of authors have critically examined semiempirical mixing length theories [1]. A defect of these theories is connected with the fact that the magnitude of the mixing length, which is assumed to be small in constructing the theory, turns out in experiments to be comparable with the characteristic dimensions of the flow region. Thus, the concept of volume convection [2–4] or integral diffusion [5], which is understood to be a transfer mechanism in which the friction stress is not expressed in terms of the velocity gradient, is introduced along with the concept of gradient diffusion. In addition, there are a number of experimental papers [6] in which it is shown that the turbulent friction stress cannot be equal to zero at the place in the flow where the derivative of the velocity is equal to zero. Mixing length theory does not describe this effect.It is possible to generalize mixing length theory [7–9] in a way which eliminates these defects. Flow of an incompressible fluid is considered.     

LDA measurements in low Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer

LDA measurements of the mean velocity in a low Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer allow a direct estimate of the friction velocity U from the value of /y at the wall. The trend of the Reynolds number dependence of / is similar to the direct numerical simulations of Spalart (1988).     

Elastic waves in a turbulent fluid

It is shown that a turbulent flow can support elastic waves for which the fluctuating stress is essentially proportional to the strain field. These fluctuations are described by a hyperbolic system and hence they do not decay away from a solid boundary. Their behaviour is also consistent with Taylor's frozen field hypothesis that turbulent fluctuations are advected with the local mean flow speed.     

Transport in ordered and disordered porous media III: Closure and comparison between theory and experiment

In this paper we examine the closure problem associated with the volume averaged form of the Stokes equations presented in Part II. For both ordered and disordered porous media, we make use of a spatially periodic model of a porous medium. Under these circumstances the closure problem, in terms of theclosure variables, is independent of the weighting functions used in the spatial smoothing process. Comparison between theory and experiment suggests that the geometrical characteristics of the unit cell dominate the calculated value of the Darcy's law permeability tensor, whereas the periodic conditions required for thelocal form of the closure problem play only a minor role.Roman Letters A interfacial area of the- interface contained within the macroscopic region, m² - A _e area of entrances and exits for the-phase contained within the macroscopic system, m² - A interfacial area of the- interface associated with the local closure problem, m² - A _p surface area of a particle, m² - b vector used to represent the pressure deviation, m^–1 - B ⁰ B+I, a second order tensor that maps v _m ontov - B second-order tensor used to represent the velocity deviation - d _p 6V _p/A_p, effective particle diameter, m - d a vector related to the pressure, m - D a second-order tensor related to the velocity, m² - g gravity vector, m/s² - I unit tensor - K traditional Darcy's law permeability tensor calculated on the basis of a spatially periodic model, m² - K _m permeability tensor for the weighted average form of Darcy's law, m² - L general characteristic length for volume averaged quantities, m - L _p characteristic length for the volume averaged pressure, m - L characteristic length for the porosity, m - L _v characteristic length for the volume averaged velocity, m - characteristic length (pore scale) for the-phase - _i i=1, 2, 3 lattice vectors, m - weighting function - m(-y) , convolution product weighting function - m _v special convolution product weighting function associated with the traditional averaging volume - m _g general convolution product weighting function - m _V unit cell convolution product weighting function - m _C special convolution product weighting function for ordered media which produces the cellular average - n unit normal vector pointing from the-phase toward the -phase - p pressure in the-phase, N/m² - p _m superficial weighted average pressure, N/m² - p _m intrinsic weighted average pressure, N/m² - p traditional intrinsic volume averaged pressure, N/m² - p – p _m , spatial deviation pressure, N/m² - r ₀ radius of a spherical averaging volume, m - r _m support of the convolution product weighting function - r position vector, m - r position vector locating points in the-phase, m. - V averaging volume, m³ - B volume of the-phase contained in the averaging volume, m³ - V _cell volume of a unit cell, m³ - v velocity vector in the-phase, m/s - v _m superficial weighted average velocity, m/s - v _m intrinsic weighted average velocity, m/s - v traditional superficial volume averaged velocity, m/s - v – v _m , spatial deviation velocity, m/s - x position vector locating the centroid of the averaging volume or the convolution product weighting function, m - y position vector relative to the centroid, m - y position vector locating points in the -phase relative to the centroid, m Greek Letters indicator function for the-phase - Dirac distribution associated with the- interface - V /V, volume average porosity - _m m * , weighted average porosity - mass density of the-phase, kg/m³ - viscosity of the-phase, Ns/m²     

Asymptotic Nusselt numbers for Newtonian flow through a parallel-plate channel with recycle

General expressions for evaluating the asymptotic Nusselt number for a Newtonian flow through a parallel-plate channel with recycle at the ends have been derived. Numerical results with the ratio of thicknesses as a parameter for various recycle ratios are obtained. A regression analysis shows that the results can be expressed by log Nur^0.83=0.3589 (log)² -0.2925 (log) + 0.3348 forR 3, 0.1 0.9; logNu=0.5982(log)² +0.3755 × 10^–2 (log) +0.8342 forR 10^–2, 0.1 0.9.

Effect of measuring volume length on two-component laser velocimeter measurements in a turbulent boundary layer

The effects of finite measuring volume length on laser velocimetry measurements of turbulent boundary layers were studied. Four different effective measuring volume lengths, ranging in spanwise extent from 7 to 44 viscous units, were used in a low Reynolds number (Re=1440) turbulent boundary layer with high data density. Reynolds shear stress profiles in the near-wall region show that u v strongly depends on the measuring volume length; at a given y-position, u v decreases with increasing measuring volume length. This dependence was attributed to simultaneous validations on the U and V channels of Doppler bursts coming from different particles within the measuring volume. Moments of the streamwise velocity showed a slight dependence on measuring volume length, indicating that spatial averaging effects well known for hot-films and hot-wires can occur in laser velocimetry measurements when the data density is high.List of symbols time-averaged quantity - u wall friction velocity, ( _w /)^1/2 - v kinematic viscosity - d _p pinhole diameter - l _eff spanwise extent of LDV measuring volume viewed by photomultiplier - l ⁺ non-dimensional length of measuring volume, l _eff u /v - y ⁺ non-dimensional coordinate in spanwise direction, y u /v - z ⁺ non-dimensional coordinate in spanwise direction, z u /v - U ⁺ non-dimensional mean velocity, /u - u instantaneous streamwise velocity fluctuation, U &#x2329;U - v instantaneous normal velocity fluctuation, V–V - u RMS streamwise velocity fluctuation, u ^21/2 - v RMS normal velocity fluctuation, v ^21/2 - Re Reynolds number based on momentum thickness, U 0/v - R _uv cross-correlation coefficient, u v/u v - R₁₂(0, 0, z) two point correlation between u and v with z-separation, <u(0, 0, 0) v (0, 0, z)>/<u(0, 0, 0) v (0, 0, 0)> - N rate at which bursts are validated by counter processor - T Taylor time microscale, u (dv/dt²)^–1/2     

Laminar assisting mixed convection heat transfer from a vertical isothermal plate to water with variable physical properties

The steady laminar boundary layer flow, with an external force, along a vertical isothermal plate is studied in this paper. The external force may be produced either by the motion of the plate or by a free stream. The fluid is water whose density-temperature relationship is non-linear at low temperatures and viscosity and thermal conductivity are functions of temperature. The results are obtained with the numerical solution of the boundary layer equations with , k and variable across the boundary layer. Both upward and downward flow is considered. It was found that the variation of , k and with temperature has a strong influence on mixed convection characteristics.Nomenclature c_p water specific heat - f dimensionless stream function - g gravitational acceleration - Gr_x local Grashof number - k thermal conductivity - Nu_x local Nusselt number - Pr Prandtl number - Pr_a ambient Prandtl number - Re_x local Reynolds number - s salinity - T water temperature - T_a ambient water temperature - T_o plate temperature - u vertical velocity - u_a free stream velocity - u_o plate velocity - v horizontal velocity - x vertical coordinate - y horizontal coordinate - pseudo-similarity variable - nondimensional temperature - dynamic viscosity - _f film dynamic viscosity - _o dynamic viscosity at plate surface - kinematic viscosity - buoyancy parameter - water density - _a ambient water density - _f film water density - _o water density at plate surface - physical stream function     

Control of low-speed turbulent separated flow using jet vortex generators

A parametric study has been performed with jet vortex generators to determine their effectiveness in controlling flow separation associated with low-speed turbulent flow over a two-dimensional rearward-facing ramp. Results indicate that flow-separation control can be accomplished, with the level of control achieved being a function of jet speed, jet orientation (with respect to the free-stream direction), and jet location (distance from the separation region in the free-stream direction). Compared to slot blowing, jet vortex generators can provide an equivalent level of flow control over a larger spanwise region (for constant jet flow area and speed).Nomenclature C _p pressure coefficient, 2(P-P_)/V ² - C _Q total flow coefficient, Q/ v - D ₀ jet orifice diameter - Q total volumetric flow rate - R Reynolds number based on momentum thickness - u fluctuating velocity component in the free-stream (x) direction - V free-stream flow speed - VR ratio of jet speed to free-stream flow speed - x coordinate along the wall in the free-stream direction - jet inclination angle (angle between the jet axis and the wall) - jet azimuthal angle (angle between the jet axis and the free-stream direction in a horizontal plane) - boundary-layer thickness - momentum thickness - lateral distance between jet orifices A version of this paper was presented at the 12th Symposium on Turbulence, University of Missouri-Rolla, 24–26 Sept. 1990     

Calculation of intense blowing on a blunt body and an airfoil

Various aspects of the problem of intense blowing through the surface of bodies have, been theoretically studied by a number of authors, within the framework of inviscid flow theory. A detailed bibliography on this topic is given, e.g., in [1, 2]. The well-known approaches to solution of this problem have a limited area of application. For example, asymptotic methods can be used for hypersonic flow regimes only at relatively low levels of the blown gas momentum ( = ² = _ov_o ²/ V ² 1). The same limitation applies to the numerical method of straight lines [2]. The forward Eulerian calculation schemes [3, 4] smear the contact discontinuity severely, and cannot handle the case where the blown gas and the gas in the incident flow have different thermodynamic properties (_o ). This paper presents results of a numerical investigation of supersonic flow over two-dimensional and axisymmetric bodies with intense blowing on the forward surface, performed using a time-dependent finite-difference method [5] with an explicit definition of the contact interface between the two cases. The calculations encompass a family of elliptic cylinders with semiaxis ratio 0.5 4, a flat-face cylinder, and a flat plate with rounding near the midsection, with variations in the blowing law, the incident flow Mach number M (3 M 10), the adiabatic indices, and the blowing parameter 0 0.5.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 117–124, January–February, 1977.In conclusion, the authors thank T.

Effect of Free‐Stream Turbulence on the Flow Structure near a Wedge and the Windward Side of an Airfoil

The flow structure behind wire grids is studied for flows with a low subsonic velocity, and the effect of grids on the boundarylayer flow structure is considered. It is shown that the meanvelocity inhomogeneity induced by the grid does not disappear until a distance of 925 calibers downstream of the grid is reached. Liquidcrystal thermography combined with hotwire measurements made it possible to find the source of steady largescale streamwise vortex structures in the boundary layer on a wedge and on an airfoil and to determine the parameters of these structures.     

Turbulent dispersion of droplets for air flow in a pipe

An optical technique was used to study the dispersion of 50 m, 90 m and 150 m droplets downstream of a source located in the center of a vertical pipe through which turbulent air is flowing. A turbulent dispersion coefficient, _P, and a mean-square of the fluctuations in the turbulent velocity, v _p ² , are determined from the change of the measured mean-square displacement of the droplets over the pipe cross section with time. The interesting aspect of the experiments is that they explored conditions where the inertia of the particles is believed to be a much more important effect than that of the crossing of trajectories associated with the inequality of the average velocities of the particles and the fluid.     

Investigation of the flow past wings of infinite span with a blunt leading edge in the vorticity interaction regime

An asymptotic analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations is carried out for the case of hypersonic flow past wings of infinite span with a blunt leading edge when 0, Re , and M . Analytic solutions are obtained for an inviscid shock layer and inviscid boundary layer. The results of a numerical solution of the problems of vorticity interaction at the blunt edge and on the lateral surface of the wing are presented. These solutions are compared with the solution of the equations of a thin viscous shock layer and on the basis of this comparison the boundaries of the asymptotic regions are estimated.deceasedTranslated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 120–127, November–December, 1987.
