Fluid-solid transition in unsteady shearing flows

Visualization of Numerical Unsteady Fluid Flows

Instantaneous streamlines are commonly used to visualize particle paths in steady flows. It is shown, however, that streaklines are often more appropriate for unsteady flows. The typical size of unsteady flow simulations makes interactive visualization difficult if not impossible. Two common approaches for visualizing unsteady flows are described. The advantages and disadvantages of each are di...

Discrete Optimization of Unsteady Fluid Flows

The paper is devoted to discrete optimization of the viscous heatconducting fluid flows. In the problem under consideration we want to create a flow with desired properties using optimal heating or cooling on some boundary sections. Optimal control approach reduces this problem to the constrained minimization. In this case the cost functional describes the objectives, mathematical model is the ...

Unsteady Helical Flows of a Maxwell Fluid

where T is the stress tensor, p the hydrostatic pressure, S the extra-stress tensor, A the first RivlinEricksen tensor and μ the dynamic viscosity. Many common fluids show this “Newtonian” behavior and in fact the whole discipline of classical fluid mechanics is based upon this equation. However, the constitutive equation (1) does not show any of the normal stress effects or relaxation phenomen...
