Application of the Schwarz-Christoffel Transformation in Solving Two-Dimensional Turbulent Flows in Complex Geometries
In this paper, two-dimensional turbulent flows in different and complex geometries are simulated by using an accurate grid generation method. In order to analyze the fluid flow, numerical solution of the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations are solved using CFD techniques. Considering the complexity of the physical geometry, conformal mapping is used to generate an orthogonal grid by means of...
متن کاملMicroscopic models of complex fluids in nonequilibrium
The method of nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) is used to simulate microscopic models of macromolecular fluids in flow situations. Procedures to extract rheological properties, such as the (non-newtonian) viscosity, normal pressure differences as well as information on flow induced structural changes, are discussed. This contribution focusses on polymer melts and polymer solutions, liqu...
متن کاملDimensionless Groups For Understanding Free Surface Flows of Complex Fluids
Numerous processing operations of complex fluids involve free surface deformations; examples include spraying and atomization of fertilizers and pesticides, fiber-spinning operations, paint application, roll-coating of adhesives and food processing operations such as container-and bottle-filling. Systematically understanding such flows can be extremely difficult because of the large number of d...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann Models for Complex Fluids
We present various Lattice Boltzmann Models which reproduce the effects of rough walls, shear thinning and granular flow. We examine the boundary layers generated by the roughness of the walls. Shear thinning produces plug flow with a sharp density contrast at the boundaries. Density waves are spontaneously generated when the viscosity has a nonlinear dependence on density which characterizes g...
متن کاملPhase-separation models for swimming enhancement in complex fluids.
Swimming cells often have to self-propel through fluids displaying non-Newtonian rheology. While past theoretical work seems to indicate that stresses arising from complex fluids should systematically hinder low-Reynolds number locomotion, experimental observations suggest that locomotion enhancement is possible. In this paper we propose a physical mechanism for locomotion enhancement of micros...
