Dense Granular Poiseuille Flow

E. Khain (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

We consider a dense granular shear flow in a two-dimensional system. Granular systems (composed of a large number of macroscopic particles) are far from equilibrium due to inelastic collisions between particles: an external driving is needed to maintain the motion of particles. Theoretical description of driven granular media is especially challenging for dense granular flows. This paper focuses on a gravity-driven dense granular Poiseuille...

On bounded channel flows of viscoelastic fluids

Marshall J. Leitman, Epifanio G. Virga (1988)

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

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...

Two-Layer Flow with One Viscous Layer in Inclined Channels

O. K. Matar, G. M. Sisoev, C. J. Lawrence (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

We study pressure-driven, two-layer flow in inclined channels with high density and viscosity contrasts. We use a combination of asymptotic reduction, boundary-layer theory and the Karman-Polhausen approximation to derive evolution equations that describe the interfacial dynamics. Two distinguished limits are considered: where the viscosity ratio is small with density ratios of order unity, and where both density and viscosity ratios are small. The evolution equations account for the...
