Numerical solution for stratified laminar flow of two immiscible Newtonian liquids in a circular pipeGemmell, Alan Robert January 1961 (has links)
Numerical solutions of the velocity profiles for laminar, stratified flow of two immiscible, Newtonian liquids in a circular pipe were determined for viscosity ratios of 1, 10, 100 and 1000 at various interface positions. These results were used to calculate the theoretical volumetric flow rate enhancement factors, power reduction factors and hold-up ratios, which for laminar flow depend only upon the viscosity ratio and the interface position. The maximum volumetric flow rate enhancement factors and maximum power reduction factors, and the corresponding input volume ratios, were determined. Dimensionless quantities were used, making the results applicable to any pipe diameter, any liquid viscosities and any pressure gradient, providing laminar flow of both phases prevails.
The theoretical results were compared to the experimental results of Russell, Hodgson and Govier for horizontal cocurrent flow of a mineral oil and water in a circular pipe. As expected, the two sets of results differed considerably in the region of turbulent water flow. As turbulence decreased however, the difference decreased, until in the laminar region very good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results was obtained. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Chemical and Biological Engineering, Department of / Graduate

Symmetric flow past orthotropic bodies : single and clustersMasliyah, Jacob Heskel January 1970 (has links)
Numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equation was successfully accomplished, using an adaptation of the relaxation technique of Jenson, for axisymmetric flow past single oblate and prolate spheroids at particle Reynolds numbers up to 100. The aspect ratio of the spheroids varied between 0.999 (nearly perfect sphere) and 0.2.
For low aspect ratios the surface pressure and vorticity distributions showed a marked difference from those of a sphere. The appearance of the wake bubble behind a spheroid was found to be a strong function of the particle shape.
Numerical solutions were also obtained for two-dimensional symmetric flow past elliptical cylinders, with the flow parallel to the major axis for aspect ratios of 0.995 to 0.2 at Reynolds numbers up to 90, and with the flow parallel to the minor axis for an aspect ratio of 0.2 at Reynolds numbers up to 40. The numerical solution was found to be less stable than the corresponding three-dimensional axisymmetric case.
The variation of the total drag coefficient with Reynolds number for the spheroids and the elliptical cylinders of various aspect ratios was not much different from that of a sphere and a circular cylinder, respectively. The results for both the spheroids and the elliptical cylinders showed a steady trend with Reynolds number from Stokes and/or Oseen flow to boundary layer flow.
Happel's free surface cell model and Kuwabara's zero vorticity cell model were employed for the study of creeping flow past swarms of aligned spheroids and clusters of aligned elliptical cylinders. Large deviations of the Kozeny constant from its commonly assumed value of 5 for packed beds were found by both models for particles which deviate significantly in shape from a sphere or a circular cylinder.
In general, Happel's free surface model predicted lower total drag coefficients than did Kuwabara's zero vorticity model for both the swarms of spheroids and the clusters of elliptical cylinders.
Contours of the streamlines, equi-vorticity lines and equi-velocity lines are presented. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Chemical and Biological Engineering, Department of / Graduate

Boundary layer receptivity at a suction surface-hard wall junctionChoudhari, Meelan, 1963- January 1989 (has links)
Receptivity refers to the generation of boundary layer instability waves by external disturbances. Recent work by M. E. Goldstein has set the general framework for the different types of boundary layer receptivity mechanisms. Therefore, it is now understood that receptivity occurs near the leading edge or at locations downstream where the boundary layer undergoes a rapid streamwise adjustment. The present work analyzes the receptivity due to a free-stream acoustic wave interacting with a suction surface--hard wall junction. In this case, receptivity occurs because of the rapid changes in wall suction distribution. Analytical expressions for the amplitude of the generated instability wave have been derived and numerical estimates provided for parameter values typical of hybrid laminar flow control applications. The importance of the junction receptivity as compared to other receptivity mechanisms has been assessed.
