Basic governing equations

Creep. The phenomenon of creep refers to time-dependent deformation. In practice, at least for most metals and ceramics, the creep behavior becomes important at high temperatures and thus sets a limit on the maximum appHcation temperature. In general, this limit increases with the melting point of a material. An approximate limit can be estimated to He at about half of the Kelvin melting temperature. The basic governing equation of steady-state creep can be written as foUows ... 

It is the aim of this book to provide a useful introduction to the simplified form of basic governing equations and an illustration of a consistent method of applying these to the analysis of a variety of practical flow problems. Hopefully, the reader will use this as a starting point to delve more deeply into the limitless expanse of the world of fluid mechanics. 

Starting at the switching frequency, we need to invariably fix the harmonic amplitude at that point at -4dB. This follows from the basic governing equations (for more details, see the chapters on EMI in my A to Z book). Note that OdB corresponds to the full amplitude of the pedestal (1A in our example). 

For the cylindrical coordinates r,9,z) in the fiber pull-out test, the basic governing equations and the mechanical equilibrium conditions between the composite constituents are essentially the same as those given in Section 4.2.3, i.e. Eqs. (4.8)-(4.18). The only exception is the equilibrium condition between the external stress and the axial stresses in the fiber and the matrix given by Eq. (4.11), which has to be modified to... 

For the cylindrical coordinates of the fiber push-out model shown in Fig. 4.36 where the external (compressive) stress is conveniently regarded as positive, the basic governing equations and the equilibrium equations are essentially the same as the fiber pull-out test. The only exceptions are the equilibrium condition of Eq. (4.15) and the relation between the IFSS and the resultant interfacial radial stress given by Eq. (4.29), which are now replaced by ... 

This chapter describes the fundamental principles of heat and mass transfer in gas-solid flows. For most gas-solid flow situations, the temperature inside the solid particle can be approximated to be uniform. The theoretical basis and relevant restrictions of this approximation are briefly presented. The conductive heat transfer due to an elastic collision is introduced. A simple convective heat transfer model, based on the pseudocontinuum assumption for the gas-solid mixture, as well as the limitations of the model applications are discussed. The chapter also describes heat transfer due to radiation of the particulate phase. Specifically, thermal radiation from a single particle, radiation from a particle cloud with multiple scattering effects, and the basic governing equation for general multiparticle radiations are discussed. The discussion of gas phase radiation is, however, excluded because of its complexity, as it is affected by the type of gas components, concentrations, and gas temperatures. Interested readers may refer to Ozisik (1973) for the absorption (or emission) of radiation by gases. The last part of this chapter presents the fundamental principles of mass transfer in gas-solid flows. 

The theoretical and numerical basis of computational flow modeling (CFM) is described in detail in Part II. The three major tasks involved in CFD, namely, mathematical modeling of fluid flows, numerical solution of model equations and computer implementation of numerical techniques are discussed. The discussion on mathematical modeling of fluid flows has been divided into four chapters (2 to 5). Basic governing equations (of mass, momentum and energy), ways of analysis and possible simplifications of these equations are discussed in Chapter 2. Formulation of different boundary conditions (inlet, outlet, walls, periodic/cyclic and so on) is also discussed. Most of the discussion is restricted to the modeling of Newtonian fluids (fluids exhibiting the linear dependence between strain rate and stress). In most cases, industrial... 

These equations have general applicability for any continuous medium and are valid for any co-ordinate system. Additional information about the formulations of basic governing equations can be found in Bird et al. (1960). 

The basic governing equations (2.1 to 2.10) along with appropriate constitutive equations and boundary conditions govern the flow of fluids, provided the continuum assumption is valid. To obtain analytical solutions, the governing equations are often simplified by assuming constant physical properties and by discarding unimportant... 

For unsteady flows, discretization schemes need to be devised to evaluate the integrals with respect to time (refer to Eq. (6.2)). The control volume integration is similar to that in steady flows discussed earlier. The most widely used methods for discretization of time derivatives are two-level methods. In order to facilitate further discussion, let us rewrite the basic governing equation as an ordinary differential equation with respect to time by employing the spatial discretization schemes discussed earlier ... 

In the present case, in which the basic governing equation is linear, the asymptotic analysis serves only to simplify the solution procedure, for example, by avoiding the need to deal with Bessel s equation when Rn> 1. Later, however, we shall see that the same basic methods may often allow approximate analytic solutions to be obtained for nonlinear problems, even when no exact solution is possible. 

In the basic governing equation of advection-diffusion, dispersion refers to the movement of species under the influence of gradient of chemical potential, while advection is the stirring or hydrodynamic transport caused by density gradient or forced convection. A general one-dimensional mass transfer to an electrode is governed by the Nemst-Planck equation ... 

The heating of a viscous fluid in laminar flow in a tube of radius R (diameter, D) will now be considered. Prior to the entry plane z < 0), the fluid temperature is uniform at Tf for z > 0, the temperature of the fluid will vary in both radial and axial directions as a result of heat transfer at the tube wall. A thermal energy balance will first be made on a differential fluid element to derive the basic governing equation for heat transfer. The solution of this equation for the power-law and the Bingham plastic models will then be presented. 

The examples of non-Newtonian microchannel flows cited in the present article so far inherently assume that the continuum hypothesis is not disobeyed, so far as the description of the basic governing equations is concerned. This, however, ceases to be a valid consideration in certain fluidic devices, in which the characteristic system length scales are of the same order as that of the size of the macromolecules being transported. Fan et al. [10], in a related study, used the concept of finitely extended nonlinear elastic (FENE) chains to model the DNA molecules and employed the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) approach to simulate the underlying flow behavior in some such representative cases. From their results, it was revealed that simple DPD fluids essentially behave as Newtonian fluids in Poiseuille flows. However, the velocity profiles of FENE... 

The electrokinetic properties of porous media, suspensions, and isolated particles can be determined within the same theoretical framework, which essentially assumes that the basic governing equations can be linearized. The resulting system can be solved numerically when the double layer thickness is not too small compared to a characteristic dimension of the medium under consideration. Hence, these results are applicable to finely divided media of submicrometric dimensions. 

Recently, Dumont et aL improved the Barone-Caulk model considering the non-Newtonian behavior of SMC (Dumont et al, 2007). Assuming SMC to be an incompressible and purely viscous material, they proposed a transversely isotropic rheology model. The basic governing equations for the SMC flow are the mass conservation and the momentum balance equations. 

In the following sections, the basic governing equations of the catalyst model will be outhned. 

The Navier-Stokes equation is one of the basic governing equations for study of fluid flow related to various disciplines of engineering and sciences. It is a partial differential equation whose integration leads to the appearance of some constants. These constants need to be evaluated for exact solutions of the flow field, which are obtained by imposing suitable boundary conditions. These boundary conditions have been proposed based on physical observation or theoretical analysis. One of the important boundary conditions is the no-slip condition, which states that the velocity of the fluid at the boundary is the same as that of the boundary. Accordingly, the velocity of the fluid adjacent to the wall is zero if the boundary surface is stationary and it is equal to the velocity of the surface if the surface is moving. This boundary condition is successful...
