Non-Newtonian fluids are a rich, but relatively undeveloped area of fluid dynamics, with phenomena from di↵u- sion to bubble growth just beginning to receive attention. In the course of examining bubble cavitation, it became apparent that the random particle motion responsible for determining potential bubble formation had not been researched. As cavitation bub- bles collapse, they deform into a variety of non-spherical shapes. Due to the complex dynamics and the radial focus of current equations on bubble behavior, no accepted model has yet emerged. This work explores the behavior using numerical methods on both fluid and bubble models to examine this system from di↵erent prospectives, culminating in a time-fractional, power-law Burger’s type equation showing bubble formation under these conditions. x Chapter 1 Introduction For my doctoral research, I have been most interested in the work pertaining to non-Newtonian and bubbling fluids, though I have also spent time examining more general properties of non-Newtonian fluids and the behavior of non-spherical bubbles in Newtonian fluids. I have primarily been examining bubble formation and collapse in non-Newtonian fluids by way of a time-fractional Burger’s equation. The models developed for examining these phenomena have been studied individually, but have not previously been combined to describe this system.

  • Lecture 1: Introduction
    Lecture 1: Introduction E. J. Hinch Non-Newtonian fluids occur commonly in our world. These fluids, such as toothpaste, saliva, oils, mud and lava, exhibit a number of behaviors that are different from Newtonian fluids and have a number of additional material properties. In general, these differences arise because the fluid has a microstructure that influences the flow. In section 2, we will present a collection of some of the interesting phenomena arising from flow nonlinearities, the inhibition of stretching, elastic effects and normal stresses. In section 3 we will discuss a variety of devices for measuring material properties, a process known as rheometry. 1 Fluid Mechanical Preliminaries The equations of motion for an incompressible fluid of unit density are (for details and derivation see any text on fluid mechanics, e.g. [1]) @u + (u · r) u = r · S + F (1) @t r · u = 0 (2) where u is the velocity, S is the total stress tensor and F are the body forces. It is customary to divide the total stress into an isotropic part and a deviatoric part as in S = −pI + σ (3) where tr σ = 0. These equations are closed only if we can relate the deviatoric stress to the velocity field (the pressure field satisfies the incompressibility condition). It is common to look for local models where the stress depends only on the local gradients of the flow: σ = σ (E) where E is the rate of strain tensor 1 E = ru + ruT ; (4) 2 the symmetric part of the the velocity gradient tensor. The trace-free requirement on σ and the physical requirement of symmetry σ = σT means that there are only 5 independent components of the deviatoric stress: 3 shear stresses (the off-diagonal elements) and 2 normal stress differences (the diagonal elements constrained to sum to 0).

  • A Fluid Is Defined As a Substance That Deforms Continuously Under Application of a Shearing Stress, Regardless of How Small the Stress Is
    FLUID MECHANICS & BIOTRIBOLOGY CHAPTER ONE FLUID STATICS & PROPERTIES Dr. ALI NASER Fluids Definition of fluid: A fluid is defined as a substance that deforms continuously under application of a shearing stress, regardless of how small the stress is. To study the behavior of materials that act as fluids, it is useful to define a number of important fluid properties, which include density, specific weight, specific gravity, and viscosity. Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance and is denoted by the Greek character ρ (rho). The SI units for ρ are kg/m3. Specific weight is defined as the weight per unit volume of a substance. The SI units for specific weight are N/m3. Specific gravity S is the ratio of the weight of a liquid at a standard reference temperature to the o weight of water. For example, the specific gravity of mercury SHg = 13.6 at 20 C. Specific gravity is a unit-less parameter. Density and specific weight are measures of the “heaviness” of a fluid. Example: What is the specific gravity of human blood, if the density of blood is 1060 kg/m3? Solution: ⁄ ⁄ Viscosity, shearing stress and shearing strain Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It describes the internal friction of a moving fluid. A fluid with large viscosity resists motion because its molecular makeup gives it a lot of internal friction. A fluid with low viscosity flows easily because its molecular makeup results in very little friction when it is in motion. Gases also have viscosity, although it is a little harder to notice it in ordinary circumstances.

  • 7. Fluid Mechanics
    7. Fluid mechanics Introduction In this chapter we will study the mechanics of fluids. A non-viscous fluid, i.e. fluid with no inner friction is called an ideal fluid. The stress tensor for an ideal fluid is given by T1= −p , which is the most simplest form of the stress tensor used in fluid mechanics. A viscous material is a material for which the stress tensor depends on the rate of deformation D. If this relation is linear then we have linear viscous fluid or Newtonian fluid. The stress tensor for a linear viscous fluid is given by T = - p 1 + λ tr D 1 + 2μ D , where λ and μ are material constants. If we assume the fluid to be incompressible, i.e. tr D 1 = 0 and the stress tensor can be simplified to contain only one material coefficient μ . Most of the fluids can not be modelled by these two simple types of stress state assumption and they are called non-Newtonian fluids. There are different types of non-Newtonian fluids. We have constitutive models for fluids of differential, rate and integral types. Examples non-Newtonian fluids are Reiner-Rivlin fluids, Rivlin-Ericksen fluids and Maxwell fluids. In this chapter we will concentrate on ideal and Newtonian fluids and we will study some classical examples of hydrodynamics. 7.1 The general equations of motion for an ideal fluid For an arbitrary fluid (liquid or gas) the stress state can be describe by the following constitutive relation, T1= −p (7.1) where p= p (r ,t) is the fluid pressure and T is the stress.

The density (rv ,t) is a scalar field in the sense that it has a scalar value at every point, while the velocity v (rv ,t) is a vector field, since it has a direction as well as a magnitude at every point. Fig. 1: A surface element at a point in a continuum. The surface stress is a more complicated type of quantity. The reason for this is that one cannot talk of the stress at a point without first defining the particular surface through v that point on which the stress acts. A small fluid surface element centered at the point r is defined by its area A (the prefix indicates an infinitesimal quantity) and by its outward v v unit normal vector n .

  • Lecture 3: Simple Flows
    Lecture 3: Simple Flows E. J. Hinch In this lecture, we will study some simple flow phenomena for the non-Newtonian fluid. From analyzing these simple phenomena, we will find that non-Newtonian fluid has many unique properties and can be quite different from the Newtonian fluid in some aspects. 1 Pipe flow of a power-law fluid The pipe flow of Newtonian fluid has been widely studied and well understood. Here, we will analyze the pipe flow of non-Newtonian fluid and compare the phenomenon with that of the Newtonian fluid. We consider a cylindrical pipe, where the radius of the pipe is R and the length is L. The pressure drop across the pipe is ∆p and the flux of the fluid though the pipe is Q (shown in Figure 1). Also, we assume that the flow in the pipe is steady, uni-directional and uniform in z. Thus, the axial momentum of the fluid satisfies: dp 1 @(rσ ) 0 = − + zr : (1) dz r @r dp ∆p Integrate this equation with respect to r and scale dz with L , we have: r σzr = σ ; (2) R wall ∆pR where σwall represents the stress on the wall and is given by σwall = 2L . For the power-law fluid, the constitutive equation is: n σzr = kγ_ ; (3) L R Q P Figure 1: Pipe flow 28 n = 1 n<1 Figure 2: Flow profile where k is a constant and γ_ is the scalar strain rate.
