Nonlinear aspects of high Reynolds number channel flows
This paper considers the flow in a two-dimensional channel at high Reynolds number, with wall deformationswhich can lead to flow separation. An asymptoticmodel is proposed by using the successive complementary expansion method with generalized asymptotic expansions. In particular, the model emphasizes the asymmetry of the channel geometry by introducing a change of variables. It is shown that t...
متن کاملSimulation of High Reynolds Number Vascular Flows
While much of the hemodynamics in a healthy human body has low Reynolds number, resulting in laminar flow, relatively high Reynolds number flow is observed at some specific locations, which can cause transition to turbulence. (The term “turbulence” refers to the motion of a fluid having local velocities and pressures that fluctuate randomly.) For example, the peak Reynolds number in the human a...
متن کاملSurface Roughness Effects in Low Reynolds Number Channel Flows (Preprint)
Rarefied helium and nitrogen flow expanding into vacuum through 150μm high and 1.5 cm long channels is studied experimentally and numerically with the DSMC method. Different types of channel walls are examined, both polished and rough with well characterized roughness shaped as triangles and rectangles. The pressure varies from 200 to 13,000 Pa, with the gas mean free path being both much large...
متن کاملNonlinear elastic instability in channel flows at low Reynolds numbers.
It is presently believed that flows of viscoelastic polymer solutions in geometries such as a straight pipe or channel are linearly stable. Here we present experimental evidence that such flows can be nonlinearly unstable and can exhibit a subcritical bifurcation. Velocimetry measurements are performed in a long, straight microchannel; flow disturbances are introduced at the entrance of the cha...
متن کاملParallel Simulation of High Reynolds Number Vascular Flows
The simulation of turbulent vascular flows presents significant numerical challenges. Because such flows are only weakly turbulent (i.e., transitional), they lack an inertial subrange that is amenable to subgrid-scale (SGS) modeling required for large-eddy or Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations. The only reliable approach at present is to directly resolve all scales of motion. While the...
