In order to do this, the viscous pressure drop APq of Fig. 6.66 is deducted from the total pressure drop APeo to give the electro or yield pressure APg for a particular voltage. Given the valve dimensions and using the dynamic viscosity as calculated from the zero-volts line and the valve dimensions, the yield stress at the wall may be isolated and 7 calculated. Likewise, shear stress T and y(= ujR/h) can be calculated from the shear mode test data -by neglecting radial effects. The well known relevant Poiseuille and Couette flow analysis are often used in these procedures. In both modes /r is derived from the zero-volts test. On this basis, flow- and shear- mode data will not necessarily correspond in the t, 7-plane. 

Although only one density profile Is shown In each of Figures 7 and 8 the density profiles of the two systems both at equilibrium and In the presence of flow that have been determined. A conclusion of great importance that is suggested by the Couette flow simulations is that the density profiles of the two systems in the presence of flow coincide with the equilibrium density profiles, even at the extremely high shear rates employed in our simulation. A detailed statistical analysis that Justifies this point was presented In Reference ( ).

However, it is clear that for a general tensor Vu, trajectory analysis based on the SLLOD dynamics in Eqs. [129] will yield incorrect results. Equation [132] has an extra term in the force, which is equivalent to saying that the momenta in Eqs. [129] are not peculiar with respect to a general flow (indeed, Eqs. [129] yield peculiar velocities for the case of planar Couette flow), and therefore the flow profile produced will not be q Vu as expected. Equations [129] also lead to problems when one is considering definitions of pressure... 

For Taylor numbers exceeding Tc, the flow develops a secondary flow pattern in which ur and uz are both nonozero. A sketch of the stability criteria given by (3-86) is shown in Fig. 3 8. The reader who is interested in a detailed description of the stability analysis that leads to the criterion (3-86) is encouraged to consult Chap. 12 or one of the standard textbooks on hydrodynamic stability theory (see Chandrashekhar [1992] for a particularly lucid discussion of the instability of Couette flows).12... 

Although the full Navier Stokes equations are nonlinear, we have studied a number of problems in Chap. 3 in which the flow was either unidirectional so that the nonlinear terms u Vu were identically equal to zero or else appeared only in an equation for the crossstream pressure gradient, which was decoupled from the primary linear flow equation, as in the ID analog of circular Couette flow. This class of flow problems is unusual in the sense that exact solutions could be obtained by use of standard methods of analysis for linear PDEs. In virtually all circumstances besides the special class of flows described in Chap. 3, we must utilize the original, nonlinear Navier Stokes equations. In such cases, the analytic methods of the preceding chapter do not apply because they rely explicitly on the so-called superposition principle, according to which a sum of solutions of linear equations is still a solution. In fact, no generally applicable analytic method exists for the exact solution of nonlinear PDEs. 

Problem 4-4. Asymptotic Analysis of Oscillating Planar Couette Flow. When we considered Problem 3-9, we obtained an exact analytic solution (which can then be evaluated to determine the form of the solution for large and small frequencies). Here we consider the... 

A two-dimensional analysis of the flow in a screw channel begun from investigatiiig the Couette flow of polymerizing liquid between the rotating cylinders [76] and the flow mechanisms in a screw channel [77, 78] were analyzed. It was shown that the viscosity growth during polymerization (dependence on molecular mass) significantly distorts the profUes of temperature, flow velocities and, especially, conversions over...

The critical Taylor number T for the onset of Taylor vortices can be predicted by examining the stability of snail amplitude disturbances when superimposed on the basic Couette flow. The use of this linear stability analysis for concentric cylinders has been extensively reviewed by Chandrasekhar (1) and Stuart (2). All such analyses assune that the cylinders are infinitely long. In addition to T they predict an initial Taylor vortex celf axial length, . ... 

The tangential generalized Couette flow problem in an annulus has been investigated by Tadmor [9]. It has been also referred to as the concentric cylinder model for the theoretical analysis of extrusion in deep (curved) channels and is discussed in detail by Tadmor and Klein [10] for a power-law fluid. As mathematical difficulties are encountered in solving the flow problem...

In the foregoing analysis we assumed ideal Couette flow V = v(0, rO, 0). For concentrated suspensions, some gels, and polymer solutions, a low viscosity layer can develop near Ae cylinder surfaces (note Figure 10.2.1a). This leads to an apparent wall slip. This slip velocity can be determined by making measurements with two different radii bobs, / and Rz, with cups sized to give the same k (Yoshimura and Prud homme, 1988)... 

The aim of the present study is to provide theoretical and numerical support for the recent experimental observations of sustained dissipative structures in the Couette flow reactor. Our goal is actually to demonstrate that the experimental chemical front patterns observed in this open reactor can be described by a reaction-diffusion process and to show that the observations are characteristic of a wide class of systems. More generally, we wish to identify the main ingredients required for a pattern formation and to develop a theoretical analysis of the bifurcations that produce those dissipative front structures. 

Obviously, the analysis above is not valid in the area beneath the bob at the bottom of the viscometer. This is best taken into account by making measurements with two fluid depths, the lower being well above the bottom of the bob, and using the differences between the torques and depths in (16,28), thereby subtracting out the effects of non-Couette flow. Another approach is illustrated in Example 7.
