Numerical Simulations of Constant Velocity Squeeze Flow

چکیده
The paper is dedicated to the investigations of purely viscous fluids in constant velocity squeeze flow, between two parallel disks. The influence of fluid rheological properties on normal force distribution and the interpretation of the obtained results is investigated. The analysis includes both experimental and numerical investigations. All results are being compared with theoretical predictions in order to establish a procedure to determine fluid viscosity by using an inverse approach of the theoretical formulation of the normal force. A good correlation between theoretical, numerical and experimental values proves the validity of this study.

Numerical Simulation of Squeezed Flow of a Viscoplastic Material by a Three-step Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method
In the current work, the mesh free Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method, was employed to numerically investigate the transient flow of a viscoplastic material. Using this method, large deformation of the sample and its free surface boundary were captured without the cumbersome process of the grid generation. This three-step SPH scheme employs an explicit predictor-corrector technique an...

We consider squeeze film gas damping during microbeam motion away and toward a substrate as occurs during opening and closing of RF switches and other MEMS devices. The numerical solution of the gas damping problem in two-dimensional geometries is obtained based on the Boltzmann-ESBGK equation. The difference in damping force between downward and upward moving beams is shown to vary from as lit...

The behavior of the flow between two coaxial conical cylinders with the inner one rotating and the outer one stationary is studied numerically. The angular velocity of the inner cone cylinder was raised step by step from the rest until reaching its final speed. In this work we first present a numerical simulation of the flow characteristics and the heat transfer mechanism of a fluid in the spac...

The Study of heat transfer augmentation in micro scale and electronic packaging systems are some of the paramount areas of the impending universe. In such systems the cooling of the heat sinks are generally achieved through the impingement of air jet. Assuming the air jet to be continues & incompressible fluid, the heat dissipation rate over the target surface seems to either uniform or well ch...
متن کاملA comparative study between two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations
The present study aimed to investigate two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. For this purpose, the mentioned flow equations were written in two different formulations, namely (i) velocity-pressure and (ii) vorticity-stream function formulations. Solution algorithms and boundary conditions were presented for both formulations and the efficiency of each formulation was investiga...
