Laminar flow of a viscoelastic shear-thinning liquid through a plane sudden expansion preceded by a gradual contraction
Experimental observations are reported for the laminar flow of a viscoelastic liquid through a symmetrical plane sudden expansion preceded by a gradual contraction from a square duct. As is well known, for Newtonian fluid flow above a critical Reynolds number the flowfield downstream of an expansion becomes asymmetric. For the viscoelastic liquid investigated here the asymmetry is greatly reduc...
متن کاملTurbulent pipe flow of shear-thinning fluids
Direct numerical simulation of the weakly turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids is undertaken for two different generalised Newtonian rheology models using a spectral element-Fourier method. Results for a power law (shear-thinning) rheology agree well with experimentally determined logarithmic layer correlations and with other previously published experimental work. As the flow index becomes s...
متن کاملMixing Behaviors of Shear-Thinning Fluids in Serpentine-Channel Micromixers
This study aims to investigate the mixing behaviors of deionized (DI) water and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solutions in C-shaped serpentine micromixers over a wide range of flow conditions. The flow of CMC solutions exhibits shear-thinning behaviors. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effects of the mean flow speed, fluid properties and geometry parameters on flow and mix...
متن کاملInvestigation of Newtonian Fluid Flow through a Two- dimensional Sudden Expansion and Sudden Contraction Flow Passage
–The importance of flow through sudden change in flow passages lies in the numerous industrial applications such as, polymer processing, injection molding, biomedical instruments, extrusion, thermoforming etc. In this work, fluid flow through an axi-symmetric sudden contraction flow passages has been carried out using commercial CFD tools. Flow in the inverse direction, which represents flow th...
متن کاملVortex shedding in cylinder flow of shear-thinning fluids I. Identification and demarcation of flow regimes
An experimental study on the flow of non-Newtonian fluids around a cylinder was undertaken to identify and delimit the various shedding flow regimes as a function of adequate non-dimensional numbers. The measurements of vortex shedding frequency and formation length (lf ) were carried out by laser-Doppler anemometry in Newtonian fluids and in aqueous polymer solutions of CMC and tylose. These w...
