Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Newtonian flows and their numerical simulations have generated an abundant literature, as well as many publications and references to which can be found in this volume's articles. This abundance of publications can be explained by the fact that non-Newtonian fluids occur in many real life situations: the food industry, oil & gas industry, chemical, civil and mechanical engineering, the bio-Sciences, to name just a few. Mathematical and numerical analysis of non-Newtonian fluid flow models provide challenging problems to partial differential equations specialists and applied computational mathematicians alike. This volume offers investigations. Results and conclusions that will no doubt be useful to engineers and computational and applied mathematicians who are focused on various aspects of non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics. - New review of well-known computational methods for the simulation viscoelastic and viscoplastic types - Discusses new numerical methods that have proven to be more efficient and more accurate than traditional methods - Articles that discuss the numerical simulation of particulate flow for viscoelastic fluids

Download or read book The Effects of Viscoelasticity on the Transitioning Cylinder Wake written by David Hastings Richter and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a newly developed three dimensional, time dependent finite volume code designed to compute non-Newtonian flows over a large range of Reynolds number (Re), we performed simulations of viscoelastic flow past a circular cylinder. Our goal was to elucidate elastic effects during transition to turbulence in a bluff body wake. Based on its ability to capture essential physical processes in turbulent drag reduction studies, the FENE-P rheological model was employed in the calculation, and the numerical method utilized was such that a large range of rheological parameters (polymer length L, dimensionless Weissenberg number (Wi), and polymer concentration (beta) in the FENE-P model) could be probed. Simulations were performed for Reynolds numbers ranging from Re = 100 to Re = 3900. Within this range, the Newtonian cylinder wake first undergoes a series of secondary instabilities, transitioning the wake structure from a two-dimensional, laminar vortex shedding state to one exhibiting three-dimensional motion. This transition is characterized first by the mode A instability, which develops in the region of primary vortex development at a Reynolds number of Re = 190. The mode B instability then follows at Re = 260, resulting from unstable perturbation growth in the braid region between primary vortices. At still higher Reynolds numbers, Re = O(1000), the separated shear layer immediately behind the cylinder begins to transition prior to primary vortex shedding. Through nonlinear simulations as well as a Floquet linear stability analysis, viscoelasticity was observed to stabilize both regimes of three-dimensional transition. Full nonlinear simulations revealed that for high enough polymer extensibility L at Re = 300, where mode B instability structures dominate for Newtonian flow, the wake could be reverted back to a state resembling two-dimensional, laminar vortex shedding. This was then confirmed using a Floquet stability analysis, showing significantly suppressed growth rates for both the mode A and mode B instabilities in the linear regime of their development. Mechanisms of this stabilization are presented. At Re = 3900, viscoelasticity again stabilizes the flow, though at this point through a suppression of the Kelvin-Helmoltz rollup instability present in the separated shear layer for Newtonian flows. Once a primary Karman vortex is allowed to form without the influence of a transitioned shear layer, the wake then reverts back to one resembling the mode B instabilities. Confirming this, a study was then performed at the same Reynolds number but allowing for an inhomogeneous polymer concentration throughout the flow field. By injecting polymer additives on the upstream side of the cylinder, it was found that stabilization of the shear layer and of the subsequent wake could be achieved without the presence of polymeric stresses in all downstream locations of the flow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microfluidics is a young and rapidly expanding scientific discipline, which deals with fluids and solutions in miniaturized systems, the so-called lab-on-a-chip systems. It has applications in chemical engineering, pharmaceutics, biotechnology and medicine. As the lab-on-a-chip systems grow in complexity, a proper theoretical understanding becomes increasingly important. The basic idea of the book is to provide a self-contained formulation of the theoretical framework of microfluidics, and at the same time give physical motivation and examples from lab-on-a-chip technology. After three chapters introducing microfluidics, the governing equations for mass, momentum and energy, and some basic flow solutions, the following 14 chapters treat hydraulic resistance/compliance, diffusion/dispersion, time-dependent flow, capillarity, electro- and magneto-hydrodynamics, thermal transport, two-phase flow, complex flow patterns and acousto-fluidics, as well as the new fields of opto- and nano-fluidics. Throughout the book simple models with analytical solutions are presented to provide the student with a thorough physical understanding of order of magnitudes and various selected microfluidic phenomena and devices. The book grew out of a set of well-tested lecture notes. It is with its many pedagogical exercises designed as a textbook for an advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate course. It is also well suited for self-study.
