Book Viscoelastic Flows Within Eccentric Rotating Cylinders

Download or read book Viscoelastic Flows Within Eccentric Rotating Cylinders written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments have shown that the addition of small amounts of long-chained polymer additives to a Newtonian fluid produces desirable lubricants. Additives added to oil make the fluid viscoelastic. The effect of viscoelasticity on lubrication characteristics has recently taken on added significance with the move to yet lower-viscosity lubricants for improved energy efficiency. Any factor influencing load-bearing capacity and wear is clearly of renewed importance. The general trend towards the usage of high performance lubricants and environmentally friendly products also support the design of new lubricants. This thesis is aimed at investigating viscoelastic flows within eccentric rotating cylinders (practical application - journal bearings) using a commercial finite element software POLYFLOW. Numerous validations are performed and excellent agreements are achieved. Steady shear and small-amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) experiments are performed for specific lubricants including mineral-based and bio-based lubricants to characterize their rheological behavior. Experimental data are fitted by a viscoelastic constitutive model used for numerical simulations. The effects of fluid viscoelasticity between eccentric rotating cylinders on the flow field and on the lubrication performances are revealed in 2D and 3D respectively. From 2D investigation, an increased load capacity on the inner cylinder is found to be achieved by increasing the viscoelasticity of flow. For the first time, to our knowledge, 3D results for an UCM (Upper-Convected Maxwell) fluid at steady state are presented and the flow patterns along the axial direction within the eccentric rotating cylinders are investigated. The viscoelastic effects of those lubricants on the journal bearing performances are revealed and compared at various temperatures. The modeling and numerical simulations used to predict the flow of lubricant in a journal bearing can generate important economic benefits. This research wil.

Book Fluid Mechanics  Volume 2

Download or read book Fluid Mechanics Volume 2 written by C. S. Jog and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids including liquids, gases and plasmas and the forces acting on them. Its study is critical in predicting rainfall, ocean currents, reducing drag on cars and aeroplanes, and design of engines. The subject is also interesting from a mathematical perspective due to the nonlinear nature of its equations. For example, the topic of turbulence has been a subject of interest to both mathematicians and engineers: to the former because of its mathematically complex nature and to the latter group because of its ubiquitous presence in real-life applications. This book is a follow-up to the first volume and discusses the concepts of fluid mechanics in detail. The book gives an in-depth summary of the governing equations and their engineering related applications. It also comprehensively discusses the fundamental theories related to kinematics and governing equations, hydrostatics, surface waves and ideal fluid flow, followed by their applications.

Book Ordered and Turbulent Patterns in Taylor Couette Flow

Download or read book Ordered and Turbulent Patterns in Taylor Couette Flow written by C. David Andereck and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seldom does a physical system, particularly one as apparently simple as the flow of a Newtonian fluid between concentric rotating cylinders, retain the interest of scientists, applied mathematicians and engineers for very long. Yet, as this volume goes to press it has been nearly 70 years since G. I. Taylor's outstanding experimental and theoretical study of the linear stability of this flow was published, and a century since the first experiments were performed on rotating cylinder viscometers. Since then, the study of this system has progressed enormously, but new features of the flow patterns are still being uncovered. Interesting variations on the basic system abound. Connections with open flows are being made. More complex fluids are used in some experiments. The vigor of the research going on in this particular example of nonequilibrium systems was very apparent at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Ordered and Turbulent Patterns in Taylor Couette Flow," held in Columbus, Ohio, USA May 22-24, 1991. A primary goal of this ARW was to bring together those interested in pattern formation in the classic Taylor Couette problem with those looking at variations on the basic system and with those interested in related systems, in order to better define the interesting areas for the future, the open questions, and the features common (and not common) to closed and open systems. This volume contains many of the contributions presented during the workshop.

Book Stability of Flow of a Non Newtonian Liquid Between Two Rotating Cylinders in the Presence of a Circular Magnetic Field

Download or read book Stability of Flow of a Non Newtonian Liquid Between Two Rotating Cylinders in the Presence of a Circular Magnetic Field written by M. N. L. Narasimhan and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stability of flow of certain non-Newtonian fluids between two rotating coaxial cylinders in the presence of a circular magnetic field is examined. The fluid in question is assumed to be an incmpressible Reiner-Rivlin fluid. The equations of motion for these non-Newtonian fluids governing marginal stability are derived, and boundary conditions for perfectly conducting cylinders (Fermi boundary conditions) are formulated for the cases of corotating and counterrotating cylinders, when the gap between the cylinders is small. The underlying characteristic value problem is solved by using an expansion in orthogonal functions method developed by Chandrasekhar to determine the critical Taylor numbers for marginal stability as stability criteria. Numerical calculations have been performed. It is found that the effect of crossviscosaty is to facilitate the onset of instability; whereas the effect of viscosity under similar conditions would be a stabilizing one. Thus the effect of cross-viscosity is found to be opposite that of viscosity in the stability analysis of the present case. (Author).

Book Computational Rheology

Download or read book Computational Rheology written by Robert G Owens and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002-05-29 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern day high-performance computers are making available to 21st-century scientists solutions to rheological flow problems of ever-increasing complexity. Computational rheology is a fast-moving subject — problems which only 10 years ago were intractable, such as 3D transient flows of polymeric liquids, non-isothermal non-Newtonian flows or flows of highly elastic liquids through complex geometries, are now being tackled owing to the availability of parallel computers, adaptive methods and advances in constitutive modelling.Computational Rheology traces the development of numerical methods for non-Newtonian flows from the late 1960's to the present day. It begins with broad coverage of non-Newtonian fluids, including their mathematical modelling and analysis, before specific computational techniques are discussed. The application of these techniques to some important rheological flow problems of academic and industrial interest is then treated in a detailed and up-to-date exposition. Finally, the reader is kept abreast of topics at the cutting edge of research in computational applied mathematics, such as adaptivity and stochastic partial differential equations.All the topics in this book are dealt with from an elementary level and this makes the text suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as experienced researchers from both the academic and industrial communities.

Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 28 (thesis year 1 983) a total of 10,661 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 197 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 28 reports theses submitted in-1983, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Thin film Flows on Cylinders

Download or read book Thin film Flows on Cylinders written by George Adam Leslie and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three different problems concerning thin- film flows on horizontal cylinders are studied. Firstly, steady two-dimensional gravity-driven flow with prescribed volume flux of a thin lm of Newtonian fluid with temperature-dependent viscosity (i.e. thermoviscous flow) over a uniformly heated or cooled stationary horizontal cylinder is studied. Numerical results along with asymptotic solutions in appropriate limits are presented giving an insight into the effects of thermoviscosity and heat transfer at the free surface. Next, we consider steady two-dimensional flow of a prescribed load (mass) of Newtonian uid with temperature-dependent viscosity on a uniformly heated or cooled rotating horizontal cylinder. The existence of a critical solution with a critical load above which no solutions exist is found, and both this critical solution and the case of prescribed subcritical load are studied in detail, with both numerical and asymptotic solutions presented. In particular, it is found that back ow (i.e. flow counter to the direction of rotation) occurs within a certain region of parameter space (back ow never occurs in the corresponding isothermal problem). Finally, the steady isothermal ow of a symmetric thin slowly-varying rivulet of a non-perfectly wetting Newtonian fluid on either the outside or the inside of a uniformly rotating horizontal cylinder is considered. Numerical and asymptotic solutions in appropriate limits are presented and it is found that rivulet flow on a rotating cylinder gives rise to a critical solution similar in nature to the critical solution found for the classical two-dimensional problem. We also show that back flow occurs within a particular region of parameter space.
