Couette-Poiseuille Flow of Non-Newtonian Fluids in Concentric Annuli
نویسنده
چکیده
Two types of laminar flows of non-Newtonian fluids in annuli with stationary outer cylinder are analysed from the viewpoint of existence of an exact analytical or almost exact analytical (quasisimilarity) solution relating volumetric flow rate and axial pressure gradient. The exact analytical solution is derived for the Vocadlo (RobertsonStiff) fluids when flow is caused simultaneously by the inner cylinder moving along its axis and by the pressure gradient imposed in the axial direction. Both cases either pressure gradient assists to the moving cylinder or opposes are considered. The quasisimilarity solution is derived for the power-law fluids when the inner cylinder rotates under a constant torque and pressure force is imposed in the axial direction as in the preceding case. Key-Words: Concentric annuli, Power-law model, Vocadlo (Robertson-Stiff) model

Flow of a binary mixture of fluids in a semicircular duct
The purpose of this work is to examine the flow of a binary mixture including chemically inert incompressible Newtonian fluids in a duct of semicircular cross-section. Such a flow model has great significance not only of its own theoretical interest, but also for application to various engineering processes. The governing equations have been solved analytically using the finite Fourier sine and...

In this paper, the Ritz-Galerkin method in Bernstein polynomial basis is applied for solving the nonlinear problem of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of third grade fluid between the two plates. The properties of the Bernstein polynomials together with the Ritz-Galerkin method are used to reduce the solution of the MHD Couette flow of non-Newtonian fluid in a porous medium to the solution o...

This paper reports the results of direct numerical simulation of the motion of a two-dimensional circular cylinder in Couette flow and in Poiseuille flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid. Both neutrally buoyant and nonneutrally buoyant cylinders are considered. The cylinder's motion and the mechanisms which cause the cylinders to migrate are studied. The stable equilibrium position of neutrally buoyant pa...

The aim of the present study is deriving an analytical solution to incompressible thermal flow in a micro-Couette geometry in the presence of a pressure gradient using Burnett equations with first- and second-order slip boundary conditions. The lower plate of the micro-Couette structure is stationary, whereas the upper plate moves at a constant velocity. Non-dimensional axial velocity and tempe...
