Similarity:

We show that the smooth bounded channel flows of a viscoelastic fluid exhibit the following qualitative feature: Whenever the channel is sufficiently wide, any bounded velocity field satisfying the homogeneous equation of motion is such that if the flow stops at some time, then the flow is never unidirectional throughout the channel. We first demonstrate the qualitative property of the bounded channel flows. Then we show explicitly how a piecewise linear approximation of a relaxation...

On finite element approximation of fluid structure interaction by Taylor-Hood and Scott-Vogelius elements

Vacek, Karel, Sváček, Petr

Similarity:

This paper focuses on mathematical modeling and finite element simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems. A simplified problem of two-dimensional incompressible fluid flow interacting with a rigid structure, whose motion is described with one degree of freedom, is considered. The problem is mathematically described and numerically approximated using the finite element method. Two possibilities, namely Taylor-Hood and Scott-Vogelius elements are presented and implemented. Finally,...

Start-up of channel-flow of a Bingham fluid initially at rest

Irene Daprà, Giambattista Scarpi (2004)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

We present an analytical solution of plane motion for a Bingham fluid initially at rest subjected to a suddenly applied constant pressure gradient. Using the Laplace transform we obtain expressions which allow a direct easy calculation of the velocity, of the plug thickness and of the rate of flow as function of time.
