Shear flows of a new class of power-law fluids

Christiaan Le Roux, Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider the flow of a class of incompressible fluids which are constitutively defined by the symmetric part of the velocity gradient being a function, which can be non-monotone, of the deviator of the stress tensor. These models are generalizations of the stress power-law models introduced and studied by J. Málek, V. Průša, K. R. Rajagopal: Generalizations of the Navier-Stokes fluid from a new perspective. Int. J. Eng. Sci. 48 (2010), 1907–1924. We discuss a potential application of the new...

Simulation of the Three-Dimensional Flow of Blood Using a Shear-Thinning Viscoelastic Fluid Model

T. Bodnár, K.R. Rajagopal, A. Sequeira (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

This paper is concerned with the numerical simulation of a thermodynamically compatible viscoelastic shear-thinning fluid model, particularly well suited to describe the rheological response of blood, under physiological conditions. Numerical simulations are performed in two idealized three-dimensional geometries, a stenosis and a curved vessel, to investigate the combined effects of flow inertia, viscosity and viscoelasticity in these geometries....

Singularities, defects and chaos in organized fluids

Roland Ribotta, Ahmed Belaidi, Alain Joets (2003)

Banach Center Publications

The singularities occurring in any sort of ordering are known in physics as defects. In an organized fluid defects may occur both at microscopic (molecular) and at macroscopic scales when hydrodynamic ordered structures are developed. Such a fluid system serves as a model for the study of the evolution towards a strong disorder (chaos) and it is found that the singularities play an important role in the nature of the chaos. Moreover both types of defects become coupled at the onset of turbulence....

Solvability of a first order system in three-dimensional non-smooth domains

Michal Křížek, Pekka Neittaanmäki (1985)

Aplikace matematiky

A system of first order partial differential equations is studied which is defined by the divergence and rotation operators in a bounded nonsmooth domain Ω ⊂ 𝐑 3 . On the boundary δ Ω , the vanishing normal component is prescribed. A variational formulation is given and its solvability is investigated.

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

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.

Steady-state buoyancy-driven viscous flow with measure data

Tomáš Roubíček (2001)

Mathematica Bohemica

Steady-state system of equations for incompressible, possibly non-Newtonean of the p -power type, viscous flow coupled with the heat equation is considered in a smooth bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝ n , n = 2 or 3, with heat sources allowed to have a natural L 1 -structure and even to be measures. The existence of a distributional solution is shown by a fixed-point technique for sufficiently small data if p > 3 / 2 (for n = 2 ) or if p > 9 / 5 (for n = 3 ).
