Newtonian incompressible

The main aim of the present chapter is to verify the capacity of conventional theory to predict the hydrodynamic characteristics of laminar Newtonian incompressible flows in micro-channels in the hydraulic diameter range from dh = 15 to db = 4,010 pm, Reynolds number from Re = 10 up to Re = Recr, and Knudsen number from Kn = 0.001 to Kn = 0.4. The following conclusions can be drawn from this study ... 

The scope of coverage includes internal flows of Newtonian and non-Newtonian incompressible fluids, adiabatic and isothermal compressible flows (up to sonic or choking conditions), two-phase (gas-liquid, solid-liquid, and gas-solid) flows, external flows (e.g., drag), and flow in porous media. Applications include dimensional analysis and scale-up, piping systems with fittings for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids (for unknown driving force, unknown flow rate, unknown diameter, or most economical diameter), compressible pipe flows up to choked flow, flow measurement and control, pumps, compressors, fluid-particle separation methods (e.g.,...

As Fig. 12.1 indicates, the manifold cross section may be bead shaped and not circular. Thus, pressure flow in an elliptical cross-section channel may be more appropriate for the solution of the manifold flow. Such a problem, for Newtonian incompressible fluids, has been solved analytically. (J. G. Knudsen and D. L. Katz, Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1958).

Consider a Newtonian incompressible fluid containing a component A in high dilution (<0.05M) and moving under creeping flow conditions within a relatively high porosity porous medium. The solid surface adsorbs instantaneously the eomponent A. The mass transport regime (convection and/or diffusion) is expressed by the value of the Peclet number, defined... 

We begin by considering the fluid to be Newtonian, incompressible, and isothermal. Furthermore, we consider only a single fluid so that there is no change in density within the domain. Thus the governing equations are (2 20) and (2 91) with i and p given. 

In Supplement 6 we present the equations of motion in various coordinate systems for non-Newtonian incompressible fluids governed by this law. 

The Navier-Stokes equation is the expression of Newton s second law (conservation of momentum) for viscous fluids. For Newtonian incompressible fluids with a dynamic viscosity p, we have... 

The theoretical description of the turbulent mixing of reactants in tubular devices is based on the following model assumptions the medium is a Newtonian incompressible medium, and the flow is axis-symmetrical and nontwisted turbulent flow can be described by the standard model [16], with such parameters as specific kinetic energy of turbulence K and the velocity of its dissipation e and the coefficient of turbulent diffusion is equal to the kinematic coefficient of turbulent viscosity D, = Vj- =...

The applied electric field interacts with the net charges of the EDL on the walls of the microchannel and microchamber. This interaction generates EOF in the channel. Meanwhile, the fully conducting particle reacts to the applied electric field, surface charges are induced on the conducting surface, and the particle moves. The net velocity of the particle will be determined by the electrophoretic motion of the particle, the bulk liquid EOF, and the complex flow field (vortices) around the particle. Consider a Newtonian incompressible fluid continuously flows in the microchannels. The continuity equation...

If micromixing is controlled by turbulence the following assumptions seem reasonable for newtonian incompressible media, and for homothetical tanks. 

The Navier-Stokes equations are supposed to describe all types of Newtonian incompressible flow, including turbulent flow. However, modelling of turbulent flow with the Navier-Stokes equations is impractical in most engineering applications, since it requires that even the smallest eddies are resolved. To resolve these eddies, the number of nodes required becomes very large. In addition, the flow does not become stationary, since the eddies seem to move randomly within the flow. These types of time-dependent simulations are very demanding in terms of the number of operations and memory required, and they are too large to be handled by most computers. It is therefore necessary to use simplified models for the modelling of turbulent flow. 

In this chapter the general equations of laminar, non-Newtonian, non-isothermal, incompressible flow, commonly used to model polymer processing operations, are presented. Throughout this chapter, for the simplicity of presentation, vector notations are used and all of the equations are given in a fixed (stationary or Eulerian) coordinate system.

Application of the weighted residual method to the solution of incompressible non-Newtonian equations of continuity and motion can be based on a variety of different schemes. Tn what follows general outlines and the formulation of the working equations of these schemes are explained. In these formulations Cauchy s equation of motion, which includes the extra stress derivatives (Equation (1.4)), is used to preseiwe the generality of the derivations. However, velocity and pressure are the only field unknowns which are obtainable from the solution of the equations of continuity and motion. The extra stress in Cauchy s equation of motion is either substituted in terms of velocity gradients or calculated via a viscoelastic constitutive equation in a separate step. 

U-V-P schemes belong to the general category of mixed finite element techniques (Zienkiewicz and Taylor, 1994). In these techniques both velocity and pressure in the governing equations of incompressible flow are regarded as primitive variables and are discretized as unknowns. The method is named after its most commonly used two-dimensional Cartesian version in which U, V and P represent velocity components and pressure, respectively. To describe this scheme we consider the governing equations of incompressible non-Newtonian flow (Equations (1.1) and (1.4), Chapter 1) expressed as... 

Level of enforcement of the incompressibility condition depends on the magnitude of the penalty parameter. If this parameter is chosen to be excessively large then the working equations of the scheme will be dominated by the incompressibility constraint and may become singular. On the other hand, if the selected penalty parameter is too small then the mass conservation will not be assured. In non-Newtonian flow problems, where shear-dependent viscosity varies locally, to enforce the continuity at the right level it is necessary to maintain a balance between the viscosity and the penalty parameter. To achieve this the penalty parameter should be related to the viscosity as A = Xorj (Nakazawa et al, 1982) where Ao is a large dimensionless parameter and tj is the local viscosity. The recommended value for Ao in typical polymer flow problems is about 10. ...

The governing equations used in this case are identical to Equations (4.1) and (4.4) describing the creeping flow of an incompressible generalized Newtonian fluid. In the air-filled sections if the pressure exceeds a given threshold the equations should be switched to the following set describing a compressible flow... 

Let us consider the flow in a narrow gap between two large flat plates, as shown in Figure 5.19, where L is a characteristic length in the a and y directions and h is the characteristic gap height so that /z < L. It is reasonable to assume that in this flow field il c iq, Vy.

We start with the governing equations of the Stokes flow of incompressible Newtonian fluids. Using an axisymraetric (r, z) coordinate system the components of the equation of motion are hence obtained by substituting the shear-dependent viscosity in Equations (4.11) with a constant viscosity p, as... 

Cauchy Momentum and Navier-Stokes Equations The differential equations for conservation of momentum are called the Cauchy momentum equations. These may be found in general form in most fliiid mechanics texts (e.g., Slatteiy [ibid.] Denu Whitaker and Schlichting). For the important special case of an incompressible Newtonian fluid with constant viscosity, substitution of Eqs. (6-22) and (6-24) lead to the Navier-Stokes equations, whose three Cartesian components are...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) emerged in the 1980s as a significant tool for fluid dynamics both in research and in practice, enabled by rapid development in computer hardware and software. Commercial CFD software is widely available. Computational fluid dynamics is the numerical solution of the equations or continuity and momentum (Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible Newtonian fluids) along with additional conseiwation equations for energy and material species in order to solve problems of nonisothermal flow, mixing, and chemical reaction. 

The fluids are incompressible Newtonian fluids with constant viscosity. 

A detailed study of the influence of viscous heating on the temperature field in micro-channels of different geometries (rectangular, trapezoidal, double-trapezoidal) has been performed by Morini (2005). The momentum and energy conservation equations for flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid were used to estimate... 

The principles of conservation of mass and momentum must be applied to each phase to determine the pressure drop and holdup in two phase systems. The differential equations used to model these principles have been solved only for laminar flows of incompressible, Newtonian fluids, with constant holdups. For this case, the momentum equations become...
