Time-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...
متن کاملMechanism for streamwise localisation in 2D plane-Poiseuille flow
Turbulent flows are ubiquitous both in nature and in engineering applications, with far-reaching implications. Turbulence in wall bounded shear flows such as that in pipes, channels and boundary layers feature turbulent transition at Reynolds numbers for which the laminar flow is linearly stable [1], and often do so in the form of discrete patches of turbulence surrounded by quiescent fluid [2]...
متن کاملThe instability of stratified flows at large Richardson numbers.
In contrast to conventional expectations based on the stability of steady shear flows, elementary time-periodic stratified flows that are unstable at arbitrarily large Richardson numbers are presented here. The fundamental instability is a parametric one with twice the period of the basic state. This instability spontaneously generates local shears on buoyancy time scales near a specific angle ...
متن کاملinstability in a spatially periodic open flow
Laboratory experiments and numerical computations are conducted for plane channel flow with a streamwise-periodic array of cylinders. Well-ordered, globally stable flow states emerge from primary and secondary instabilities, in contrast with other wall-bounded shear flows, where instability generally leads directly to turbulence. A two-dimensional flow resembling TolhnienSchlichting waves arise...
متن کاملUnstable Surface Waves in Running Water
We consider the stability of periodic gravity free-surface water waves traveling downstream at a constant speed over a shear flow of finite depth. In case the free surface is flat, a sharp criterion of linear instability is established for a general class of shear flows with inflection points and the maximal unstable wave number is found. Comparison to the rigid-wall setting testifies that free...
