چکیده

This article addresses the low Weissenberg asymptotic analysis (Newtonian limit) of some macroscopic models of viscoelastic fluid flows in the framework of global weak solutions. We investigate the convergence of the corotational Johnson-Segalman, the FENE-P, the Giesekus and PTT models. Relying on a priori bounds coming from energy or free energy estimates, we first study the weak convergence toward the Navier-Stokes system. We then turn to the main focus of our paper, i.e. the strong convergence. The novelty of our work is to address these issues by relative entropy estimates, which require the introduction of some corrector terms. We also take into account the presence of defect measures in the initial data, uniform with respect to the Weissenberg number, and prove that they do not perturb the Newtonian limit of the corotational system.

Newtonian Limit for Weakly Viscoelastic Fluid Flows of Oldroyd Type

This paper is concerned with regular flows of incompressible weakly viscoelastic fluids which obey a differential constitutive law of Oldroyd type. We study the newtonian limit for weakly viscoelastic fluid flows in IR or T N for N = 2, 3, when the Weissenberg number (relaxation time measuring the elasticity effect in the fluid) tends to zero. More precisely, we prove that the velocity field an...

Viscoelastic Micropolar Convection Flows from an Inclined Plane with Nonlinear Temperature: A Numerical Study

An analytical model is developed to study the viscoelastic micropolar fluid convection from an inclined plate as a simulation of electro-conductive polymer materials processing with nonlinear temperature. Jeffery’s viscoelastic model is deployed to describe the non-Newtonian characteristics of the fluid and provides a good approximation for polymers. Micro-structural is one of the characteristi...

Unified formal reduction for fluid models of free-surface shallow gravity-flows

We propose a unified approach to the formal long-wave reduction of several fluid models for thin-layer incompressible homogeneous flows driven by a constant external force like gravity. The procedure is based on a mathematical coherence property that univoquely defines one reduced model given one rheology and one thin-layer regime. For the first time, as far as we know, various known reduced mo...

Viscoelastic - Elastic Transition in the ” Stokes ’ Second Flow Problem ” in a High Frequency Limit

Solving the Boltzmann BGK equation, we investigate a flow generated by an infinite plate oscillating with frequency ω. Geometrical simplicity of the problem allows a solution in the entire range of dimensionless frequency variation 0 ≤ ωτ ≤ ∞, where τ is a properly defined relaxation time. A transition from viscoelastic behavior of Newtonian fluid (ωτ → 0) to purely elastic dynamics in the limi...
