Numerical Simulation of Non-Newtonian Inelastic Flows in Channel based on Artificial Compressibility Method
Authors
Abstract:
In this study, inelastic constitutive modelling is considered for the simulation of shear-thinning fluids through a circular channel. Numerical solutions are presented for power-law inelastic model, considering axisymmetric Poiseuille flow through a channel. The numerical simulation of such fluid is performed by using the Galerkin finite element approach based on artificial compression method (AC-method). Usually, the Naiver-Stoke partial differential equations are used to describe fluid activity. These models consist of two partial differential equations; a continuity equation (mass conservation) and time-dependent conservation of momentum, which are maintained in the cylindrical coordinate system (axisymmetric) flow in current study. The effects of many factors such as Reynolds number (Re) and artificial compressibility parameter (ßac) are discussed in this study. In particular, this study confirms the effect of these parameters on the convergence level. To meet the method analysis, Poiseuille flow along a circular channel under an isothermal state is used as a simple test problem. This test is conducted by taking a circular section of the pipe. The Findings reveal that, there is a significant effect from the inelastic parameters upon the the velocity temporal convergence-rates of velocity, while for pressue, the change in convergence is modest. In addition, the rate of convergence is increased as the values of artificial compressibility parameter (ßac) are decreased.

The work presents an artificial compressibility method applied to incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for steady as well as for unsteady flows. Two modifications of unsteady numerical solution by an implicit finite volume method are considered. First one uses large artificial compressibility parameter and the iterative solution approximates unsteady evolution of flow. The second approach int...

Newtonian impinging jets have been investigated for decades. However, limited is known about non-Newtonian impinging jets. The present work attempts to improve this situation by performing high-fidelity numerical simulations of non-Newtonian impinging jet dynamics. Emphasis is placed on the near field of the liquid sheet formed by the impingement of two shear-thinning (viscosity deceases with i...

The Artificial Compressibility Method (ACM) for the incompressible NavierStokes equations is (link-wise) reformulated (referred to as LW-ACM) by a finite set of discrete directions (links) on a regular Cartesian mesh, in analogy with the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The main advantage is the possibility of exploiting well established technologies originally developed for LBM and classical co...

Control of a fluid velocity profile by injection and suction of non-ionized flow in presence of a uniform steady magnetic field has important technical applications. In this paper, the unsteady incompressible and viscous conducting fluid flow has been investigated in a circular channel. The channel wall has been assumed to be non-conducting and porous. It has been subjected to a uniform steady ...
