Defect correction method for time-dependent viscoelastic fluid flow
A defect correction method for solving the time-dependent viscoelastic fluid flow, aiming at high Weissenberg numbers, is presented. In the defect step, the constitutive equation is computed with the artificially reduced Weissenberg parameter for stability, and the residual is considered in the correction step. We show the convergence of the method and derive an error estimate. Numerical experi...
متن کاملMeasuring Cell Viscoelastic Properties Using a Microfluidic Extensional Flow Device.
The quantification of cellular mechanical properties is of tremendous interest in biology and medicine. Recent microfluidic technologies that infer cellular mechanical properties based on analysis of cellular deformations during microchannel traversal have dramatically improved throughput over traditional single-cell rheological tools, yet the extraction of material parameters from these measur...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Remeshing Strategy for Viscoelastic Fluid Flow Problems
The simulation of highly viscoelastic fluid flow problems is still plagued with the so-called high Weissenberg problem (HWP). The Weissenberg number We is the ratio of the magnitude of the elastic forces to that of the viscous forces. Most (if not all) numerical methods lose convergence i.e. fail to generate any result and/or fail to generate convergent solutions with respect to mesh size, at s...
متن کاملA Numerical Method for Modeling Time-Dependent Viscoelastic Fluid Flow
A numerical method for modeling time-dependent viscoelastic uid ow, Abstract A numerical method to solve a system of partial diierential equations (PDE), modeling time-dependent viscoelastic uid ow, is developed. The Upper Con-vected Maxwell (UCM) model, and the related Oldroyd-B and Giesekus models are used as constitutive equations, and a linear equation of state allows the uid to be slightly...
متن کاملMicro squeeze flow rheometer for high frequency analysis of nano-litre volumes of viscoelastic fluid
In this paper, the design, fabrication and experimental analysis of a piezoelectrically actuated micro squeeze flow rheometer is presented. Being only 30x30x0.5 mm in size, the micro rheometer is sensitive to very small volumes of the order of 1-10 nano-litre of liquid and light enough to operate at frequencies in the kHz regime, an order of magnitude higher than normally attainable with conven...
