When a supercooled liquid approaches glass transition, viscous flow slows down greatly, but often the Brownian motion of a molecular probe in the host liquid does not slow down as much, causing the Stokes-Einstein relation to fail by orders of magnitude. Here we formulate a theory that relates the Brownian motion of the probe to two concurrent processes in the host liquid: viscous flow and mole...

Numerical manifold method was applied to directly solve Navier-Stokes N-S equations for incompressible viscous flow in this paper, and numerical manifold schemes for N-S equations coupled velocity and pressure were derived based on Galerkin weighted residuals method as well. Mixed cover with linear polynomial function for velocity and constant function for pressure was employed in finite elemen...

The viscous flow in the fluidic amplifier is simulated numerically based on CFD technology, and many tests have been done to verify the numerical precision. The results show that the calculated data are good agreement with the experimental data. So the numerical simulation of the viscous flow in the fluidic amplifier is accurate and reliable, and it can be applied to investigate the steady flow...

Capillary instability of a liquid cylinder immersed in another liquid is analyzed using viscous potential flow. An effect of viscosity on the irrotational motion may be introduced by evaluating the viscous normal stress at the liquid-liquid interface on the irrotational motions. In a second approximation, the explicit effects of the discontinuity of the shear stress and tangential component of ...

This paper presents a simple and computationally-efficient algorithm for solving steady two-dimensional subsonic and transonic compressible flow over an airfoil. This work uses an interactive viscous-inviscid solution by incorporating the viscous effects in a thin shear-layer. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the Navier-Stokes equations to a parabolic set of coupled, non-linear partial diff...

Unsteady mixed convection heat transfer from a circular cylinder has been investigated in the presence of viscous dissipation. The isothermal horizontal cylinder is placed to the oncoming free stream whose direction is considered in the free convection flow (parallel flow) and opposite to it (contra flow). The system of dimensionless governing equations for unsteady, two-dimensional flow is red...

Experiments were conducted to investigate local heat transfer coefficients and flow characteristics of air flow in a 962 lm inner diameter stainless steel microtube (minichannel). The effects of heat loss, axial heat conduction and viscous heating were systematically analyzed. Heat losses during the experiments with gas flow in small diameter tubes vary considerably along the flow length, causi...

Debris flows can be considered as mixtures of coarse particles dispersed in a viscous matrix, composed of fine sediment and water. Experiments in a rotating drum with a diameter of 2.5m have been carried out to study the flow behaviour of different material mixtures, ranging from granular avalanches to viscous fluids and grain – fluid mixtures of varying sediment concentration and matrix viscos...

There has been a concentrated effort in modeling fluid flow in asphalt pavements, and most of the existing work has been limited to evaluation of directional permeabilities. The effects of other phenomena, such as development of flow-induced pore pressure and viscous shear stress distributions at the pore–solid interfaces, on moisture damage in an asphalt pore structure have not been fully unde...

We experimentally study the formation and evolution of threads containing more viscous liquids surrounded by less viscous, immiscible liquids through hydrodynamic focusing in square microchannels. Over a large range of viscosities and interfacial tensions, five characteristic regimes of flow behavior are identified: threading, jetting, dripping, tubing, and displacement. We locate the boundarie...
