Potential flows of viscous and viscoelastic fluids
Potential flows of incompressible fluids admit a pressure (Bernoulli) equation when the divergence of the stress is a gradient as in inviscid fluids, viscous fluids, linear viscoelastic fluids and second-order fluids. We show that in potential flow without boundary layers the equation balancing drag and acceleration is the same for all these fluids, independent of the viscosity or any viscoelas...
متن کاملDynamic Electroosmotic Flows of Power-Law Fluids in Rectangular Microchannels
Dynamic characteristics of electroosmosis of a typical non-Newtonian liquid in a rectangular microchannel are investigated by using numerical simulations. The non-Newtonian behavior of liquids is assumed to obey the famous power-law model and then the mathematical model is solved numerically by using the finite element method. The results indicate that the non-Newtonian effect produces some not...
متن کاملAsymmetric flows of viscoelastic fluids in symmetric planar expansion geometries
The flow of viscoelastic liquids with constant shear viscosity through symmetric sudden expansions is studied by numerical means. The geometry considered is planar and the constitutive model follows the modified FENE-CR equation, valid for relative dilute solutions of polymeric fluids. For Newtonian liquids in a 1:3 expansion we predict the result that the flow becomes asymmetric for a Reynolds...
متن کاملinstability of viscoelastic fluids in nearly parallel flows: a pseudo-spectral analysis
in the present work, the effect of fluid’s elasticity was investigated on the hydrodynamic instability of blasius flow. to determine the critical reynolds number as a function of the elasticity number, a two-dimensional linear temporal stability analysis was invoked. the viscoelastic fluid is assumed to obey the walters’ b fluid model for which base flow velocity profiles were fortunately avail...
متن کاملTime-periodic Electroosmotic Flow of Non-newtonian Fluids in Microchannels
The alternating current electroosmotic flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is studied in a circular microchannel. A numerical method is employed to solve the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann and the momentum equations. The main parameters which affect the flow field are the flow behavior index, the dimensionless zeta potential and the dimensionless frequency. At very low dimensionless frequenci...
