Similarity solutions for slender rivulets with thermocapillarity
We use the lubrication approximation to investigate the steady flow of slender non-uniform rivulets of a viscous fluid on an inclined plane that is either heated or cooled relative to the surrounding atmosphere. Four non-isothermal situations in which thermocapillary effects play a significant role are considered. We derive the general equations for a slender rivulet subject to gravity, surface...
متن کاملUnsteady gravity-driven slender rivulets of a power-law fluid
Unsteady gravity-driven flow of a thin slender rivulet of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid on a plane inclined at an angle α to the horizontal is considered. Unsteady similarity solutions are obtained for both converging sessile rivulets (when 0 < α < π/2) in the case x < 0 with t < 0, and diverging pendent rivulets (when π/2 < α < π) in the case x > 0 with t > 0, where x denotes a coordinate me...
متن کاملSimilarity solutions for granular flows in hoppers
Similarity solutions for the steady state equations governing flow of granular materials under gravity in a conical or wedge-shaped hopper are constructed. Such solutions can be considered for various plasticity models. Results obtained under the classical Mohr-Coulomb yield condition are compared with those obtained when a von Mises yield condition is imposed. A thorough stability study in the...
متن کاملNumericalRenormalizationGroup Calculations for Similarity Solutions and TravellingWaves
We present a numerical implementation of the renormalization group (RG) for partial diierential equations, constructing similarity solutions and travelling waves. We show that for a large class of well-localized initial conditions, successive iterations of an appropriately deened discrete RG transformation in space and time will drive the system towards a xed point. This corresponds to a scale-...
متن کاملOn the breakup of fluid rivulets
We study the stability of rivulets on horizontal substrates. The implemented model includes the effects of capillarity, fluid-solid interaction, and gravity if appropriate, within the framework of the lubrication approximation. We find that the results compare favorably with those in literature, in the regime where previous analyses are valid. By isolating the effect of van der Waals interactio...
