On turbulent entrainment and dissipation in dilute polymer solutions
We present a comparative experimental study of a turbulent flow developing in clear water and dilute polymer solutions 25 and 50 wppm polyethylene oxide . The flow is forced by a planar grid that oscillates vertically with stroke S and frequency f in a square container of initially still fluid. Two-component velocity fields are measured in a vertical plane passing through the center of the tank...
متن کاملRelaxation of dilute polymer solutions following extensional flow 1
The relaxation of dilute polymer solutions following stretch in uniaxial extensional flow is investigated via Brownian dynamic simulations of a flexible freely-draining bead-rod chain. The bead-rod chain simulations are compared to Brownian dynamic simulations of a FENE dumbbell and numerical calculations of a FENE-PM chain. A universal relaxation curve for the stress decay from steady-state is...
متن کاملNonequilibrium thermodynamics of dilute polymer solutions in flow.
Modern materials processing applications and technologies often occur far from equilibrium. To this end, the processing of complex materials such as polymer melts and nanocomposites generally occurs under strong deformations and flows, conditions under which equilibrium thermodynamics does not apply. As a result, the ability to determine the nonequilibrium thermodynamic properties of polymeric ...
متن کاملDrag Reduction in Turbulent Flow of Polymer Solutions
Progress in understanding turbulent drag reduction by polymer additives has recently been made on several fronts. The near-wall dynamics of Newtonian turbulence is becoming better understood. Detailed computations of complex flows of model polymer solutions are now possible. Insights into the effects of viscoelasticity have been gained from a number of important model flows, and the understandi...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional turbulence of dilute polymer solutions.
We investigate theoretically and numerically the effect of polymer additives on two-dimensional turbulence by means of a viscoelastic model. We provide compelling evidence that, at vanishingly small concentrations, such that the polymers are passively transported, the probability distribution of polymer elongation has a power law tail: Its slope is related to the statistics of finite-time Lyapu...
