Annular flow of viscoelastic fluids: Analytical and numerical solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
This work provides analytical and numerical solutions for the linear, quadratic and exponential Phan–Thien–Tanner (PTT) viscoelastic models, for axial and helical annular fully-developed flows under no slip and slip boundary conditions, the latter given by the linear and nonlinear Navier slip laws. The rheology of the three PTT model functions is discussed together with the influence of the slip velocity upon the flow velocity and stress fields. For the linear PTT model, full analytical solutions for the inverse problem (unknown velocity) are devised for the linear Navier slip law and two different slip exponents. For the linear PTT model with other values of the slip exponent and for the quadratic PTT model, the polynomial equation for the radial location (b) of the null shear stress must be solved numerically. For both models, the solution of the direct problem is given by an iterative procedure involving three nonlinear equations, one for b, other for the pressure gradient and another for the torque per unit length. For the exponential PTT model we devise a numerical procedure that can easily compute the numerical solution of the pure axial flow problem. 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Flow of viscoelastic fluids around a confined cylinder: comparison of standard and log-conformation stress formulations
A finite-volume method is applied to the numerical simulation of flows of viscoelastic fluids in the benchmark confined-cylinder problem under creeping flow conditions. The fluids are modeled using the Oldroyd-B constitutive equation, the calculation of the polymer stress contribution is carried out using the logconformation methodology [1] and the results are compared with data using the stand...
