Generalized hydrodynamics

General hydrodynamic theory for liquid penetrant testing (PT) has been worked out in [1], Basic principles of the theory were described in details in [2,3], This theory enables, for example, to calculate the minimum crack s width that can be detected by prescribed product family (penetrant, excess penetrant remover and developer), when dry powder is used as the developer. One needs for that such characteristics as surface tension of penetrant a and some characteristics of developer s layer, thickness h, effective radius of pores and porosity TI. One more characteristic is the residual depth of defect s filling with penetrant before the application of a developer. The methods for experimental determination of these characteristics were worked out in [4]. 

Chapter 7 deals with the practical problems. It contains the results of the general hydrodynamical and thermal characteristics corresponding to laminar flows in micro-channels of different geometry. The overall correlations for drag and heat transfer coefficients in micro-channels at single- and two-phase flows, as well as data on physical properties of selected working fluids are presented. The correlation for boiling heat transfer is also considered.

Interpretation of the hydrodynamic data of a macromolecule requires that the shape of the molecule in a given solvent be known in advance from other sources and that there exist adequate expressions to relate the hydrodynamic quantities under consideration to a few parameters characterizing the dimensions of the molecule. Thus, in general, hydrodynamic measurements are informative as a supplementary means for the characterization of macromolecules. 

There exists another prescription to extend the hydrodynamical modes to intermediate wavenumbers which provides similar results for dense fluids. This was done by Kirkpatrick [10], who replaced the transport coefficients appearing in the generalized hydrodynamics by their wavenumber and frequency-dependent analogs. He used the standard projection operator technique to derive generalized hydrodynamic equations for the equilibrium time correlation functions in a hard-sphere fluid. In the short-time approximation the frequency dependence of the memory kernel vanishes. The final result is a... 

Here ji(qa) is the spherical Bessel function of order l,g(a) is the radial distribution function at contact, and f = /fSmn/Anpo2g a) is the Enskog mean free time between collisions. The transport coefficients in the above expressions are given only by their Enskog values that is, only collisional contributions are retained. Since it is only in dense fluids that the Enskog values represents the important contributions to transport coefficient, the above expressions are reasonable only for dense hard-sphere fluids. Earlier Alley, Alder, and Yip [32] have done molecular dynamics simulations to determine the wavenumber-dependent transport coefficients that should be used in hard-sphere generalized hydrodynamic equations. They have shown that for intermediate values of q, the wavenumber-dependent transport coefficients are well-approximated by their collisional contributions. This implies that Eqs. (20)-(23) are even more realistic as q and z are increased. 

Mode coupling theory provides the following rationale for the known validity of the Stokes relation between the zero frequency friction and the viscosity. According to MCT, both these quantities are primarily determined by the static and dynamic structure factors of the solvent. Hence both vary similarly with density and temperature. This calls into question the justification of the use of the generalized hydrodynamics for molecular processes. The question gathers further relevance from the fact that the time (t) correlation function determining friction (the force-force) and that determining viscosity (the stress-stress) are microscopically different. 

There have been several other theoretical studies by different authors [144, 145,156,163] where the frequency-dependent friction was modeled by using the modified version of the generalized hydrodynamic expression [23, 165]. These theories failed to reproduce the experimental results at certain limits. Barbara and coworkers attributed this failure of the G-H theory to the nonavailability of a reliable frequency-dependent friction and called for the use of a friction better than the hydrodynamic friction. 

In a general hydrodynamic system, the vorticity w is perpendicular to the velocity field v, creating a so-called Magnus pressure force. This force is directed along the axis of a right-hand screw as it would advance if the velocity vector rotated around the axis toward the vorticity vector. The conditions surrounding a wing that produce aerodynamic lift describe this effect precisely (see Fig. 2).

This confirmation of the Smoluchowski derivation also illustrates why it is generally valid at high Ka (outside the relatively thin double layer, general hydrodynamics applies with zero electric field) and why the outcome is independent of a ( ( is independent of a). Smoluchowski already anticipated that the equation therefore remains valid for other than spherical geometries (Including hollow and irregularly formed surfaces) provided xa 1. This was later confirmed by Morrison ),...

As an example of the influence of these relaxation times, the frequency dependence of the viscosity of the n-alkanes deduced by Sceats and Dawes is show in Figure 13. This dependence can be used to model the hydrodynamic contribution to the friction of a particle using Zwanzig-Bixon generalized hydrodynamic theory.

Shear Factor, F. The shear factor F is a generalized hydrodynamic resistivity of porous media. It appears in the momentum equation 63 and is needed to solve the problem of single-phase flow in porous media. The shear factor F can be related to the pressure drop of a unidirectional flow without bounding wall effects, that is, in a one-dimensional medium through equation 21. In this section, we give a detailed account for the derivation of the expressions for fv and F. 

Since structural relaxation arises from the decay of density fluctuations, one might expect, from simple hydrodynamics, that the relaxation time at a given self-diffusion coefficient, would show dependence where k is the smallest wave vector allowed by the primary box dimension. A system size dependence for the relaxation time also is predicted by generalized hydrodynamics in which the transport coefficients are dependent on both k and w ... 

The specific examples chosen in this section, to illustrate the dynamics in condensed phases for the variety of system-specific situations outlined above, correspond to long-wavelength and low-frequency phenomena. In such cases, conservation laws and broken symmetry play important roles in the dynamics, and a macroscopic hydrodynamic description is either adequate or is amenable to an appropriate generalization. There are other examples where short-wavelength and/or high-frequency behaviour is evident. If this is the case, one would require a more microscopic description. For fluid systems which are the focus of this section, such descriptions may involve a kinetic theory of dense fluids or generalized hydrodynamics which may be linear or may involve nonlinear mode coupling. Such microscopic descriptions are not considered in this section. 

In recent years, experimental investigation of the depolarized Rayleigh scattering of several liquids composed of optically anisotropic molecules has confirmed the existence of a doublet-symmetric about zero frequency change and with a splitting of approximately 0.5 GHz (see Fig. 12.1.1). The existence of this doublet had been predicted on the basis of a hydrodynamic theory several years previously by Leontovich (1941). This theory assumes that local strains set up by a transverse shear wave are relieved by collective reorientation of individual molecules. Later, Rytov (1957) formulated a more general hydrodynamic theory for viscoelastic fluids that reduces to the Leontovich theory in the appropriate limit. The theories of Rytov and Leontovitch are different from the present two-variable theory, in that the primary variable is the stress tensor and not the polarizability.
