Potential Flow of Viscous Fluids: Historical Notes
نویسنده
چکیده
A purely irrotational theory of the effect of viscosity on the decay of free gravity waves is derived and shown to be in excellent agreement with Lamb’s (1932) exact solution. The agreement is achieved for all waves numbers k excluding a small interval around a critical k=kc where progressive waves change to monotonic decay. Very detailed comparisons are made between the purely irrotational and exact theory.

Laminar mixing of high-viscous fluids by a cylindrical chaotic mixer
Laminar mixing of glycerin in a chaotic mixer is carried by means of the blob deformation method. The mixer was a cylindrical vessel with two rotational blades which move along two different circular paths with a stepwise motion protocol. The flow visualization was performed by marking of the free surface of the flow with a tracer. The effects of controlling parameters such as rotational speed ...
متن کاملExperimental Study and Three-Dimensional Numerical Flow Simulation in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous Fluids
In this paper the centrifugal pump performances are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this paper shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flow inside a centrifugal pump. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent flows through the pump. The k-ε turbulenc...
متن کاملViscous potential flow
Potential flows u = ∇φ are solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for viscous incompressible fluids for which the vorticity is identically zero. The viscous term μ∇u = μ∇∇φ vanishes, but the viscous contribution to the stress in an incompressible fluid (Stokes 1850) does not vanish in general. Here, we show how the viscosity of a viscous fluid in potential flow away from the boundary layers e...
متن کاملPressure corrections for potential flow analysis of capillary instability of viscous fluids
Funada & Joseph (2002) analyzed capillary instability assuming that the flow is irrotational but the fluids are viscous (viscous potential flow, VPF). They compared their results with the exact normal mode solution of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations (fully viscous flow, FVF) and with the irrotational flow of inviscid fluids (inviscid potential flow, IPF). They showed that the growth rate...
متن کاملElastico-Viscous Flow between Two Rotating Discs of Different Transpiration for High Reynolds Numbers (RESEARCH NOTE)
The flow in an elastico-viscous fluid between two co-axial infinite rotating porous discs is considered for high cross flow Reynolds number. The discs are rotating with different angular velocity and the injection rate of the fluid at one disc is different from the suction rate of other disc. The effect of suction parameters on the velocity components have been investigated numerically and solv...
