Elastic turbulence in 2D viscoelastic flows
It is well known that the addition of small amounts of long chain polymers produces dramatic effects on flowing fluids. A remarkable effect, recently observed experimentally, is the onset of ”elastic turbulence” in the limit of very low Reynolds number Re, provided elasticity is high enough [1]. In this regime, the polymer solution displays features typical of turbulent flows. Consequently, ela...
متن کاملViscoelastic properties of polymer solutions.
In a concentrated polymer solution, the entanglement of long-chain molecules results in a transient network structure, to which may be attributed certain aspects of the viscoelastic behavior of such a system. A suitable mechanical model for representing this network as a first approximation is a retarded Maxwell element with one spring and two dashpots. Experimental measurements of mechanical p...
متن کاملAlignment of particles in sheared viscoelastic fluids.
We investigate the shear-induced structure formation of colloidal particles dissolved in non-Newtonian fluids by means of computer simulations. The two investigated visco-elastic fluids are a semi-dilute polymer solution and a worm-like micellar solution. Both shear-thinning fluids contain long flexible chains whose entanglements appear and disappear continually as a result of Brownian motion a...
متن کاملTurbulence of polymer solutions.
We investigate high-Reynolds-number turbulence in dilute polymer solutions. We show the existence of a critical value of the Reynolds number, which separates two different regimes. In the first regime, below the transition, the influence of the polymer molecules on the flow is negligible, so they can be regarded as passively embedded in the flow. This case admits a detailed investigation of the...
متن کاملParametric study of a viscoelastic RANS turbulence model in the fully developed channel flow
One of the newest of viscoelastic RANS turbulence models for drag reducing channel flow with polymer additives is studied in different flow and rheological properties. In this model, finitely extensible nonlinear elastic-Peterlin (FENE-P) constitutive model is used to describe the viscoelastic effect of polymer solution and turbulence model is developed in the k-ϵ-(ν^2 ) ̅-f framework. The geome...
