Vanishing Viscosity Limits for a Class of Circular Pipe Flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider 3D Navier-Stokes flows with no-slip boundary condition in an infinitely long pipe with circular cross section. The velocity fields we consider are independent of the variable parametrizing the axis of the pipe, and the component of the velocity normal to the axis is arranged to be circularly symmetric, though we impose no such symmetry on the component of velocity parallel to the axis. For such flows we analyze the limit as the viscosity tends to zero, including boundary layer estimates.

A New Model for Prediction of Heat Eddy Diffusivity in Pipe Expansion Turbulent Flows
A new model to calculate heat eddy diffusivity in separating and reattaching flows based on modification of constant Prt is proposed. This modification is made using an empirical correlation between maximum Nusselt number and entrance Reynolds number. The model includes both the simplicity of Prt=0.9 assumption and the accuracy of two-equation heat-transfer models. Furthermore, an appropriate l...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Sediment Transport in Sewer Pipe
The efficiency and economical performance of sewer systems is an essential issue in urban drainage. The need for sewers to carry sediment has been recognized for many years. One of the main problems in designing sewerage systems is the sediment deposition. Sedimentation in sewers occurs regularly according to the alternating natural flow. The present study investigates the hydraulic characteris...

This paper is concerned with the application of finite element methods to obtain solutions for steady fully developed generalized Newtonian flows in a curved pipe of circular cross-section and arbitrary curvature ratio, under a given axial pressure gradient. c © 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd
متن کاملShear Dispersion along Circular Pipes Is Affected by Bends, but the Torsion of the Pipe Is Negligible
The flow of a viscous fluid along a curving pipe of fixed radius is driven by a pressure gradient. For a generally curving pipe it is the fluid flux which is constant along the pipe and so I correct fluid flow solutions of Dean (1928) and Topakoglu (1967) which assume constant pressure gradient. When the pipe is straight, the fluid adopts the parabolic velocity profile of Poiseuille flow; the s...
متن کاملBalanced Viscosity (bv) Solutions to Infinite-dimensional Rate-independent Systems
Balanced Viscosity solutions to rate-independent systems arise as limits of regularized rate-independent flows by adding a superlinear vanishing-viscosity dissipation. We address the main issue of proving the existence of such limits for infinite-dimensional systems and of characterizing them by a couple of variational properties that combine a local stability condition and a balanced energy-di...
