Incompressible simple fluid

This section summarizes results of the phenomenological theory of viscoelasticity as they apply to homogeneous polymer liquids. The theory of incompressible simple fluids (76, 77) is based on a very general set of ideas about the nature of mechanical response. According to this theory the flow-induced stress at any point in a substance at time t depends only on the deformations experienced by material in an arbitrarily small neighborhood of that point in all times prior to t. The relationship between stress at the current time and deformation history is the constitutive equation for the substance.

Simple pressure/drag flow. Here we treat an idealization of the down-channel flow in a melt extruder, in which an incompressible viscous fluid constrained between two boundaries of infinite lateral extent (2). A positive pressure gradient is applied in the X-direction, and the upper boundary surface at y - H is displaced to the right at a velocity of u(H) - U this velocity is that of the barrel relative to the screw. This simple problem was solved by a 10x3 mesh of 4-node quadrilateral elements, as shown in Figure 1. 

Galili and Takserman-Krozer (20) have proposed a simple criterion that signifies when nonisothermal effects must be taken into account. The criterion is based on a perturbation solution of the coupled heat transfer and pressure flow isothermal wall problem of an incompressible Newtonian fluid.

In formal rheology, relations between these three tensors are formulated and analyzed. Only for the two extremes of viscoelastic behaviour are such relations simple. For purely elastic materials there is a relation between the stress tensor and the strain tensor it contains the elasticity modulus and the Poisson ratio, accounting for the extent to which extension in one direction is accompamied by concomitant compression in the other two. For purely viscous fluids there is a relation between the stress tensor and the strain rate tensor. As extension in one direction is concomitant with (viscous) compression in the other two, in this case only one viscosity is required. For incompressible Newton fluids eventually an expression with only one viscosity results, see (1.6.1.131.

One application of the solutions (4-55)-(4-61) is to evaluate the effect of viscous dissipation in the use of a shear rheometer to measure the viscosity of a Newtonian fluid. In this experiment, we subject the fluid in a thin gap between two plane walls to a shear flow by moving one of the walls in its own plane at a known velocity and then measuring the shear stress produced at either wall (by measuring the total tangential force and dividing by the area). In the absence of viscous dissipation, the velocity profile is linear and the shear rate is simply given by the tangential velocity U divided by the gap width d. Now, the constitutive equation, (2-87), for an incompressible Newtonian fluid applied to this simple flow situation takes the form... 

Problem 7-8. Sphere in a Linear Flow. A rigid sphere is translating with velocity U and rotating with angular velocity ft in an unbounded, incompressible Newtonian fluid. The position of the sphere center is denoted as xp (that is, xf, is the position vector). At large distances from the sphere, the fluid is undergoing a simple shear flow (this is the undisturbed velocity field). We may denote this flow in the form... 

It is known that incompressible newtonian fluids at constant temperature can be characterized by two material constants the density p and the viscosity T. The characterization of a purely viscous nonnewtonian fluid using the power law model (or any of the so-called generalized newtonian models) is relatively straightforward. However, the experimental description of an incompressible viscoelastic nonnewtonian fluid is more complicated. Although the density can be measured, the appropriate expression for r poses considerable difficulty. Furthermore there is some uncertainty as to what other properties need to be measured. In general, for viscoelastic fluids it is known that the viscosity is not constant but depends on shear rate, that the normal stress differences are finite and depend on shear rate, and that the stress may also depend on the preshear history. To characterize a nonnewtonian fluid, it is necessary to measure the material functions (apparent viscosity, normal stress differences, etc.) in a relatively simple or standard flow. Standard flow patterns used in characterizing nonnewtonian fluids are the simple shear flow and shear-free flow. 

The Schwarzschild solution in nonempty space estimates the stress or energy-momentum tensor T p in terms of an incompressible perfect fluid medium with the same symmetry as before and serves as a simple model of a star. To get the complete picture the interior solution for a sphere of perfect fluid of radius ro is joined continuously with the free-space solution that applies at r > ro > 2m. As before m = nM/( , where M is the mass of the fluid sphere. 

Consider a thin layer of a fluid contained between two parallel planes a distance dy apart, as shown in Figine 1.1. Now, if under steady state conditions, the fluid is subjected to a shear by the application of a force F as shown, this will be balanced by an equal and opposite internal frictional force in the fluid. For an incompressible Newtonian fluid in laminar flow, the resulting shear stress is equal to the product of the shear rate and the viseosity of the fluid medium. In this simple case, the shear rate may be expressed as the velocity gradient in the direction perpendicular to that of the shear force, i.e. 

Figiue 1.1 and equation (1.1) represent the simplest case wherein the velocity vector which has only one component, in the jc-direction varies only in the y-direction. Such a flow configuration is known as simple shear flow. For the more complex case of three dimensional flow, it is necessary to set up the appropriate partial differential equations. For instance, the more general case of an incompressible Newtonian fluid may be expressed - for the jc-plane - as...

Dynamic analysis of piston flow reactors is fairly straightforward and rather unexciting for incompressible fluids. Piston flow causes the d5mamic response of the system to be especially simple. The form of response is a hmiting case of that found in real systems. We have seen that piston flow is usually a desirable regime from the viewpoint of reaction yields and selectivities. It turns out to be somewhat undesirable from a control viewpoint since there is no natural dampening of disturbances.

Marshall s extensive review (16) concentrates mainly on conductance and solubility studies of simple (non-transition metal) electrolytes and the application of extended Debye-Huckel equations in describing the ionic strength dependence of equilibrium constants. The conductance studies covered conditions to 4 kbar and 800 C while the solubility studies were mostly at SVP up to 350 C. In the latter studies above 300°C deviations from Debye-Huckel behaviour were found. This is not surprising since the Debye-Huckel theory treats the solvent as incompressible and, as seen in Fig. 3, water rapidly becomes more compressible above 300 C. Until a theory which accounts for electrostriction in a compressible fluid becomes available, extrapolation to infinite dilution at temperatures much above 300 C must be considered untrustworthy. Since water becomes infinitely compressible at the critical point, the standard entropy of an ion becomes infinitely negative, so that the concept of a standard ionic free energy becomes meaningless. 

It is clear that sound, meaning pressure waves, travels at finite speed. Thus some of the hyperbolic—wavelike-characteristics associated with pressure are in accord with everyday experience. As a fluid becomes more incompressible (e.g., water relative to air), the sound speed increases. In a truly incompressible fluid, pressure travels at infinite speed. When the wave speed is infinite, the pressure effects become parabolic or elliptic, rather than hyperbolic. The pressure terms in the Navier-Stokes equations do not change in the transition from hyperbolic to elliptic. Instead, the equation of state changes. That is, the relationship between pressure and density change and the time derivative is lost from the continuity equation. Therefore the situation does not permit a simple characterization by inspection of first and second derivatives.
