Boundary-layer flows in non-Newtonian fluids.Dabrowski, Paul Peter January 2009 (has links)
We examine the boundary-layer flow of generalised Newtonian fluids. A specific member of this class of non-Newtonian fluids, namely the Ostwald-de Waele or power-law fluid, is studied in some detail. We show, through the numerical solution of the governing equations, that this empirical model of fluids encountered in physical and industrial situations is of limited benefit when considering the boundary-layer flow of such a fluid. We then develop and employ a Carreau viscosity model in the same context and show that the numerical marching scheme has better convergence behaviour than was the case for power-law fluids. We also investigate the boundary-layer flow of a Newtonian fluid over a thin film of non-Newtonian fluid, described by a Carreau fluid model, by focusing specifically on similarity-type solutions. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1456589 / Thesis (Ph.D.) - University of Adelaide, School of Mathematical Sciences, 2009

Srovnání pulsujícího proudění newtonské a ne-newtonské kapaliny v komplexní geometrii / Comparison of Pulsating Flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian Fluid in Complex GeometryKohút, Jiří January 2020 (has links)
This master's thesis deals with pulsating flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid. Theoretical part represents necessary theoretical knowledge for pulsating flow and understanding of non-Newtonian behaviour. Furthermore the thesis focus is directed on numerical simulation of pulsating flow in straight, ideally rigid tube and in patient-specific model of human artery, more precisely in carotid. Two methods are used: numerical solution based on finite volume method (FVM) and also analytical solution using Bessel functions by Womersley. Results are validated against experimental measurements of velocity profiles by particle image velocity method (PIV). The agreement between numerical and experimental data with consideration of PIV inaccuracy was was very good from both point of views - qualitative and quantitative. Numerical solution also compare influence of turbulence and non-Newtonian behaviour towards base (laminar flow, Newtonian fluid). Developed methodology is then applied on patient-specific model of carotid, which was renovated from computed tomography. Measurements in vivo in human arteries is very expensive and often invasive. Because of that measurement outputs are limited, most of the time on pressure and flow. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is non-invasive and outputs are through whole domain. Due to these advantages CFD significantly contributes to understanding of hemodynamics influence in cardiovascular diseases.

Global stability analysis of complex fluidsLashgari, Iman January 2013 (has links)
The main focus of this work is on the non-Newtonian effects on the inertial instabilities in shear flows. Both inelastic (Carreau) and elastic models (Oldroyd-B and FENE-P) have been employed to examine the main features of the non-Newtonian fluids; shear-thinning, shear-thickening and elasticity. Several classical configurations have been considered; flow past a circular cylinder, in a lid-driven cavity and in a channel. We have used a wide range of tools for linear stability analysis, modal, non-modal, energy and sensitivity analysis, to determine the instability mechanisms of the non-Newtonian flows and compare them with those of the Newtonian flows. Direct numerical simulations have been also used to prove the results obtained by the linear stability analysis. Significant modifications/alterations in the instability of the different flows have been observed under the action of the non-Newtonian effects. In general, shear-thinning/shear-thickening effects destabilize/stabilize the flow around the cylinder and in a lid driven cavity. Viscoelastic effects both stabilize and destabilize the channel flow depending on the ratio between the viscoelastic and flow time scales. The instability mechanism is just slightly modified in the cylinder flow whereas new instability mechanisms arise in the lid-driven cavity flow. We observe that the non-Newtonian effect can alter the inertial flow at both baseflow and perturbation level (e.g. Carreau fluid past a cylinder or in a lid driven cavity) or it may just affect the perturbations (e.g. Oldroyd-B fluid in channel). In all the flow cases studied, the modifications in the instability dynamics are shown to be strongly connected to the contribution of the different terms in the perturbation kinetic energy budget. / <p>QC 20140113</p>

Transition laminaire-turbulent en conduite cylindrique pour un fluide non NewtonienLópez Carranza, Santiago Nicolás 19 October 2012 (has links)
L'objectif de cette thèse est de fournir une analyse de la transition vers la turbulence d'un fluide rhéofluidifiant (fluide de Carreau) dans une conduite cylindrique. Pour cela, un code pseudo-spectral de type Petrov-Galerkin a été développé. Une analyse linéaire de stabilité de l'écoulement laminaire est effectuée, montrant que cet écoulement est linéairement stable. Ensuite, des perturbations sous la forme des rouleaux longitudinaux contra-rotatifs sont utilisées comme condition initiale. Les termes non linéaires d'inertie et visqueux créent un écoulement secondaire avec des points d'inflexion, linéairement instable vis-à-vis de perturbations 3D. Une analyse linéaire de stabilité de ce nouvel écoulement de base bidimensionnelle est réalisée. La forme des vecteurs propres critiques est analysé. Enfin, une analyse non linéaire de stabilité de rouleaux vis-à-vis des perturbations tridimensionnelles de faible amplitude est effectuée, obtenant un retard pour la transition vers la turbulence des fluides rhéofluidifiants par rapport au cas Newtonien et une tendance à l'asymétrie du profil de vitesse axiale / The main objective of this thesis is to provide a description of the transition to turbulence of a shear thinning fluid in pipe flow. A linear stability analysis of the base flow is done. Results show that the flow is linearly stable and the optimal perturbation is given by a pair of counter rotating vortex. This kind of perturbation is used as an initial condition of a computational code which integrates the governing equations. Inertial and viscous non linear terms generate a secondary base flow with inflection points, which is linearly unstable to 3D perturbations. A secondary instability analysis is done, regarding the shape of unstable eigenvectors. Depending the rheological parameters and the size of the primary perturbation, the unstable mode might be near the wall or the center of the pipe. Finally, a non linear stability analysis of the streaks to 3D perturbations of weak amplitude, obtaining a delay in the transition to turbulence due to shear thinning

Modélisation de la transition vers la turbulence d'écoulements en tuyau de fluides rhéofluidifiants par calcul numérique d'ondes non linéaires / Modelling the transition to turbulence in pipe flows of shear-thinning fluids by computing nonlinear wavesRoland, Nicolas 10 September 2010 (has links)
L'étude théorique de la transition vers la turbulence d'écoulements en tuyau de fluides non newtoniens rhéofluidifiants (fluides de Carreau) est menée, avec l'approche consistant à calculer des «~structures très cohérentes~» sous la forme d'«~ondes non linéaires~». Pour cela un code pseudo-spectral de type Petrov-Galerkin, permettant de suivre des solutions ondes non linéaires tridimensionnelles dans l'espace des paramètres par continuation, est développé. Ce code est validé par comparaison à des résultats existants en fluide newtonien, et grâce à un test de consistance en fluide non newtonien. Une convergence spectrale exponentielle est obtenue dans tous les cas. Ce code est utilisé pour chercher (guidé par des résultats expérimentaux récents) de nouvelles solutions de nombre d'onde azimutal fondamental égal à 1, sans succès pour l'instant. Par contre des solutions de nombre d'onde azimutal fondamental égal à 2 ou 3 sont obtenues par continuation à partir du cas newtonien. La rhéofluidification induit, en termes de nombres de Reynolds critiques, un retard à l'apparition de ces ondes par rapport au cas newtonien. Ce retard est caractérisé, et le parallèle est fait avec divers résultats expérimentaux qui montrent un retard à l'apparition de bouffées turbulentes en fluides non newtoniens / The transition to turbulence in pipe flows of shear-thinning fluids is studied theoretically. The method used is the computation of `exact coherent structures' that are tridimensional nonlinear waves. For this purpose a pseudo-spectral Petrov-Galerkin code is developped, which also allows to follow solution branches in the parameter space with continuation methods. This code is validated by recovering already published results in the Newtonian case, and by a consistency test in the non-Newtonian case. A spectral exponential convergence is obtained in all cases. This code is used to seek (guided by recent experimental results) new solutions of fundamental azimuthal wavenumber equal to 1,without success at the time being. On the contrary solutions with a fundamental azimuthal wavenumber equal to 2 and 3 are obtained by continuation from the Newtonian case. The shear-thinning effects induce, in terms of critical Reynolds numbers, a delay for the onset of these waves, as compared with the Newtonian case. This delay is characterized. An analogy is made with various experimental results that show a delay in the transition to turbulence, more precisely, in the onset of `puffs', in non-Newtonian fluids

Analyse non linéaire de la stabilité de l'écoulement de Poiseuille plan d'un fluide rhéofluidifiant / Nonlinear stability analysis of shear-thinning plan Poiseuille flow.Chekila, Abdelfateh 18 March 2014 (has links)
L'objectif de cette thèse est d'analyser l'influence des non linéarités, du comportement rhéologique des fluides rhéofluidifiants, sur les conditions de stabilité et de transition vers la turbulence. Dans un premier temps, une analyse linéaire de stabilité avec une approche modale a été réalisée. Les résultats obtenus mettent clairement en évidence l'effet stabilisant de la rhéofluidification. Ensuite, une analyse faiblement non linéaire de stabilité a été menée en vue d'examiner l'influence de la perturbation de la viscosité sur la stabilité vis à vis de perturbations d'amplitude finie. L'analyse de la contribution des termes non linéaires d'inertie et visqueux montre que, contrairement aux termes d'inertie, les termes non linéaires visqueux ont tendance à accélérer l'écoulement et favoriser une bifurcation sur-critique. Les effets rhéofluidifiants tendent à réduire la dissipation visqueuse. Finalement, une analyse fortement non linéaire de stabilité a été conduite en utilisant les techniques de suivi de branches de solutions par des méthodes de continuation. Pour pouvoir traiter les termes visqueux fortement non linéaires, un code de calcul pseudo-spectral a été développé. Des solutions non linéaires d'équilibre ont été obtenues et caractérisées pour différentes valeurs des paramètres rhéologiques / The aim of this study is to understand the influence of the nonlinear rheological behaviour of the shear-thinning fluids on the flow stability and transition to turbulence. First, a linear stability analysis using modal approach was carried out. Results clearly highlight the stabilizing effect of shear-thinning. Then, as a first approach to take into account nonlinear effects of viscosity perturbation on the flow stability, a weakly nonlinear stability analysis is performed in the neighbourhood of the critical conditions. Results indicate that shear-thinning reduces the viscous dissipation and, in contrast to inertial terms, the nonlinear viscous terms tend to accelerate the flow and act in favour of supercritical bifurcation. Finally, a nonlinear stability analysis is done by following solution branches in the parameter space using continuation techniques. To deal with highly nonlinear viscous terms, a pseudo-spectral code is developed. Nonlinear equilibrium solutions was found and characterized for various values of the rheological parameters
