Direct numerical simulation of microstructured uids : Numerical aspects
نویسنده
چکیده
Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of the distribution function of conformation of small axisymmetric particles is considered from a numerical point of view. The mathematical modelling of microstructured uid has to take into account (i) the e ect of the surrounding uid onto the microstructure and (ii) the e ect of the microstructures on the uid. We consider (i) the simulation of the conformation distribution function by using a Fokker-Planck equation in an Eulerian framework (ii) a full Lagrangian technique to track individual particles,(stochastic simulation) (iii) the double Lagrangian technique for the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation of Szeri and Leal [20]. Finally a method is proposed which combines the advantages of the stochastic simulation with those of the double Lagrangian method by clustering particles within the framework of stochastic simulation.

Numerical simulation of the oscillations of non-newtonian viscous fluids with a free surface
Non-Newtonian uids are increasingly being transported by a variety of vehicles. It has been observed that vehicles containing such uids demonstrate behaviour which could be explained only by non-linearity characteristics of such uids. In this paper small oscillations of non-Newtonian uids in tanks are considered. A numerical method suitable for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian uids is suggested...
