A three-field formulation for incompressible viscoelastic fluids
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new stabilized finite element method for incompressible viscoelastic fluids. A three-field formulation is developed wherein Oldroyd-B model is coupled with the mass and momentum conservation equations for an incompressible viscous fluid. The variational multiscale (VMS) framework is employed to develop a stabilized formulation for the coupled momentum, continuity and stress equations. Based on the new stabilized method a family of linear and higher-order triangle and quadrilateral elements with equal-order velocity–pressure–stress fields is developed. Stability and convergence property of the various elements is studied and optimal rates are attained in the norms considered. The method is applied to some benchmark problems and accuracy and computational economy of the formulation is investigated for various flow conditions. 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Global Strong Solution to the Density-dependent Incompressible Viscoelastic Fluids
The existence and uniqueness of the global strong solution with small initial data to the three-dimensional density-dependent incompressible viscoelastic fluids is established. The local existence and uniqueness of the global strong solution with small initial data to the three-dimensional compressible viscoelastic fluids is also obtained. A new method is developed to estimate the solution with...

We prove the existence of both local and global smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem in the whole space and the periodic problem in the n-dimensional torus for the incompressible viscoelastic system of Oldroyd-B type in the case of near equilibrium initial data. The results hold in both two and three dimensional spaces. The results and methods presented in this paper are also valid for a wide...
متن کاملStabilized Finite Element Methods of Gls Type for Maxwell-b and Oldroyd-b Viscoelastic Fluids
We evaluate the stabilized three-field stress-velocity-pressure Galerkin/LeastSquares finite element formulation for viscoelastic fluids, using a benchmark problem of Oldroyd-B flow past a cylinder at various Weissenberg numbers. To address the issue of weak consistency exhibited by low-order velocity interpolations in the context of stabilized formulations, we also employ velocity gradient rec...
متن کاملThermal Convection in a (Kuvshiniski-type) Viscoelastic Rotating Fluid in the Presence of Magnetic Field through Porous Medium (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The effect of magnetic field on an incompressible (Kuvshiniski-Type) viscoelastic rotating fluid heated from below in porous medium is considered. For the case of stationary convection, magnetic field and medium permeability have both stabilizing and destabilizing effect on the thermal convection under some conditions whereas rotation has a stabilizing effect on the thermal convection. In the...
متن کاملMass - Conserved Phase Field Models for 2 Binary Fluids
The commonly used incompressible phase field models for non-reactive, binary fluids, in which the Cahn-Hilliard equation is used for the transport of phase variables, conserve the total volume of each phase as well as the material volume, but do not conserve the mass of the fluid mixture when the densities of two components are different. In this paper, we formulate the phase field theory for m...
