Viscoelastic Flow in Axisymmetric Contractions: the Effect of Contraction Ratio
Numerical simulations of PTT fluids in axisymmetric sudden contractions were carried out to investigate the effect of contraction ratio on the flow patterns under conditions of negligible inertia. The PTT model selected has a linear stress coefficient, and contraction ratios (CR) in the range 4:1 to 100:1 were investigated. The simulations are based on a finite volume methodology using very fin...
متن کاملA stable and convergent scheme for viscoelastic flow in contraction channels
We present a new algorithm to simulate unsteady viscoelastic flows in abrupt contraction channels. In our approach we split the viscoelastic terms of the Oldroyd-B constitutive equation using Duhamel s formula and discretize the resulting PDEs using a semi-implicit finite difference method based on a Lax–Wendroff method for hyperbolic terms. In particular, we leave a small residual elastic term...
متن کاملViscoelastic Flows in Abrupt Contraction - Expansions
IV. Pressure Drop Definition In our experiments we measure the total pressure drop across the axisymmetric abrupt contraction-expansion geometry. We then systematically correct this to report an ‘extra pressure drop’ associated with the contraction-expansion alone. Table 1 shows the axial distance of each possible pressure transducer location from the contraction plane. For clarity, it is usefu...
متن کاملA 3D elasto-plastic FEM program developed for reservoir Geomechanics simulations: Introduction and case studies
The development of yielded or failure zone due to an engineering construction is a subject of study in different disciplines. In Petroleum engineering, depletion from and injection of gas into a porous rock can cause development of a yield zone around the reservoir. Studying this phenomenon requires elasto-plastic analysis of geomaterial, in this case the porous rocks. In this study, which is a...
متن کامل3D phase-field simulations of interfacial dynamics in Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids
This work presents a three-dimensional finite-element algorithm, based on the phase-field model, for computing interfacial flows of Newtonian and complex fluids. A 3D adaptive meshing scheme produces fine grid covering the interface and coarse mesh in the bulk. It is key to accurate resolution of the interface at manageable computational costs. The coupled Navier-Stokes and Cahn-Hilliard equati...
