Viscoelastic flow past a confined cylinder of a polyisobutylene solution
Viscoelastic constitutive equations are evaluated using the benchmark problem of the planar flow past a confined cylinder for a well-characterized solution of S%(w/w) polyisobutylene in tetradecane. The ratio of channel height to cylinder diameter is equal to two. We compare finite element simulations with point-wise measured velocities and stresses obtained by means of laser Doppler anemometry...
متن کاملAn instability criterion for viscoelastic flow past a confined cylinder
It has been known that there is a viscoelastic instability in the channel flow past a cylinder at high Deborah (De) number. Some of our numerical simulations and a boundary layer analysis indicated that this instability is related to the shear flow in the gap between the cylinder and the channel walls in our previous work. The critical condition for instability initiation may be related to an i...
متن کاملFlow of viscoelastic fluids around a confined cylinder: comparison of standard and log-conformation stress formulations
A finite-volume method is applied to the numerical simulation of flows of viscoelastic fluids in the benchmark confined-cylinder problem under creeping flow conditions. The fluids are modeled using the Oldroyd-B constitutive equation, the calculation of the polymer stress contribution is carried out using the logconformation methodology [1] and the results are compared with data using the stand...
متن کاملFlow of viscoelastic fluids past a cylinder at high Weissenberg number: stabilized simulations using matrix logarithms
The log conformation representation proposed in [1] has been implemented in a fem context using the DEVSS/DG formulation for viscoelastic fluid flow. We present a stability analysis in 1D and attribute the high Weissenberg problem to the failure of the numerical scheme to balance exponential growth. A slightly different derivation of the log based evolution equation than in [1] is also presente...
