Parametric 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...
متن کاملElastic 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...

Fluid turbulence, and the process of its onset from a laminar state, are complex multiscale phenomena that are as technologically important as they are challenging to understand. Turbulence leads to undesirable drag in many flows, but also increases beneficial mixing. Turbulence in viscoelastic flow, obtained by adding polymers to a solvent, exhibits unique features with potentially dramatic te...
متن کاملSmall-scale statistics of viscoelastic turbulence
– The small-scale statistics of homogeneous isotropic turbulence of dilute polymer solutions is investigated by means of direct numerical simulations of a simplified viscoelastic fluid model. It is found that polymers only partially suppress the turbulent cascade below the Lumley scale, leaving a remnant energy flux even for large elasticity. As a consequence, fluid acceleration in viscoelastic...
متن کاملNumerical study of the square-root conformation tensor formulation for confined and free-surface viscoelastic fluid flows
We present a numerical study of a stabilization method for computing confined and free-surface flows of highly elastic viscoelastic fluids. In this approach, the constitutive equation based on the conformation tensor, which is used to define the viscoelastic model, is modified introducing an evolution equation for the square-root conformation tensor. Both confined and free-surface flows are con...
