On fully developed flows of fluids with a pressure dependent viscosity in a pipe

Macherla Vasudevaiah, Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Stokes recognized that the viscosity of a fluid can depend on the normal stress and that in certain flows such as flows in a pipe or in channels under normal conditions, this dependence can be neglected. However, there are many other flows, which have technological significance, where the dependence of the viscosity on the pressure cannot be neglected. Numerous experimental studies have unequivocally shown that the viscosity depends on the pressure, and that this dependence can be quite...

Numerical simulation of generalized Newtonian fluids flow in bypass geometry

Keslerová, Radka, Řezníček, Hynek, Padělek, Tomáš

Similarity:

The aim of this work is to present numerical results of non-Newtonian fluid flow in a model of bypass. Different angle of a connection between narrowed channel and the bypass graft is considered. Several rheology viscosity models were used for the non-Newtonian fluid, namely the modified Cross model and the Carreau-Yasuda model. The results of non-Newtonian fluid flow are compared to the results of Newtonian fluid. The fundamental system of equations is the generalized system of Navier-Stokes...

On using artificial compressibility method for solving turbulent flows

Louda, Petr, Kozel, Karel, Příhoda, Jaromír

Similarity:

In this work, artificial compressibility method is used to solve steady and unsteady flows of viscous incompressible fluid. The method is based on implicit higher order upwind discretization of Navier-Stokes equations. The extension for unsteady simulation is considered by increasing artificial compressibility parameter or by using dual time stepping. The methods are tested on laminar flow around circular cylinder and used to simulate turbulent unsteady flows by URANS approach. The simulated...

On finite element approximation of flow induced vibration of elastic structure

Valášek, Jan, Sváček, Petr, Horáček, Jaromír

Similarity:

In this paper the fluid-structure interaction problem is studied on a simplified model of the human vocal fold. The problem is mathematically described and the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method is applied in order to treat the time dependent computational domain. The viscous incompressible fluid flow and linear elasticity models are considered. The fluid flow and the motion of elastic body is approximated with the aid of finite element method. An attention is paid to the applied stabilization...

1D dynamics of a second-grade viscous fluid in a constricted tube

Fernando Carapau, Adélia Sequeira (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Using a one-dimensional hierarchical model based on the Cosserat theory approach to fluid dynamics we can reduce the full 3D system of equations for the axisymmetric unsteady motion of a non-Newtonian incompressible second-grade viscous fluid to a system of equations depending on time and on a single spatial variable. From this new system we obtain the steady relationship between average pressure gradient and volume flow rate over a finite section of a straight constricted tube, and...
