  • Lecture 18 Ocean General Circulation Modeling
    Lecture 18 Ocean General Circulation Modeling 9.1 The equations of motion: Navier-Stokes The governing equations for a real fluid are the Navier-Stokes equations (con­ servation of linear momentum and mass mass) along with conservation of salt, conservation of heat (the first law of thermodynamics) and an equation of state. However, these equations support fast acoustic modes and involve nonlinearities in many terms that makes solving them both difficult and ex­ pensive and particularly ill suited for long time scale calculations. Instead we make a series of approximations to simplify the Navier-Stokes equations to yield the “primitive equations” which are the basis of most general circu­ lations models. In a rotating frame of reference and in the absence of sources and sinks of mass or salt the Navier-Stokes equations are @ �~v + �~v~v + 2�~ �~v + g�kˆ + p = ~ρ (9.1) t r · ^ r r · @ � + �~v = 0 (9.2) t r · @ �S + �S~v = 0 (9.3) t r · 1 @t �ζ + �ζ~v = ω (9.4) r · cpS r · F � = �(ζ; S; p) (9.5) Where � is the fluid density, ~v is the velocity, p is the pressure, S is the salinity and ζ is the potential temperature which add up to seven dependent variables. 115 12.950 Atmospheric and Oceanic Modeling, Spring '04 116 The constants are �~ the rotation vector of the sphere, g the gravitational acceleration and cp the specific heat capacity at constant pressure. ~ρ is the stress tensor and ω are non-advective heat fluxes (such as heat exchange across the sea-surface).F 9.2 Acoustic modes Notice that there is no prognostic equation for pressure, p, but there are two equations for density, �; one prognostic and one diagnostic.

  • On Exact Solution of Unsteady MHD Flow of a Viscous Fluid in An

Full list of author information is The streamlines at any given time are concentric circles. Exact solutions are obtained available at the end of the article and the loci of the centres of these concentric circles are discussed. It is shown that the motion so obtained gives three infinite sets of exact solutions in the geometry of an orthogonal rheometer in which the above non-torsional oscillations are superposed on the disks. These solutions reduce to a single unique solution when symmetric solutions are looked for. Some interesting special cases are also obtained from these solutions. Keywords: viscous fluid; MHD flow; orthogonal rheometer; eccentric rotation; exact solutions 1 Introduction Berker [] has defined the ‘pseudo plane motions’ of the first kind that: if the streamlines in a plane flow are contained in parallel planes but the velocity components are dependent on the coordinate normal to the planes. Berker [] has obtained a class of exact solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations belonging to the above type of flows.

  • 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).

  • Vortex Stretching in Incompressible and Compressible Fluids
    Vortex stretching in incompressible and compressible fluids Esteban G. Tabak, Fluid Dynamics II, Spring 2002 1 Introduction The primitive form of the incompressible Euler equations is given by du P = ut + u · ∇u = −∇ + gz (1) dt ρ ∇ · u = 0 (2) representing conservation of momentum and mass respectively. Here u is the velocity vector, P the pressure, ρ the constant density, g the acceleration of gravity and z the vertical coordinate. In this form, the physical meaning of the equations is very clear and intuitive. An alternative formulation may be written in terms of the vorticity vector ω = ∇× u , (3) namely dω = ω + u · ∇ω = (ω · ∇)u (4) dt t where u is determined from ω nonlocally, through the solution of the elliptic system given by (2) and (3). A similar formulation applies to smooth isentropic compressible flows, if one replaces the vorticity ω in (4) by ω/ρ. This formulation is very convenient for many theoretical purposes, as well as for better understanding a variety of fluid phenomena. At an intuitive level, it reflects the fact that rotation is a fundamental element of fluid flow, as exem- plified by hurricanes, tornados and the swirling of water near a bathtub sink. Its derivation from the primitive form of the equations, however, often relies on complex vector identities, which render obscure the intuitive meaning of (4). My purpose here is to present a more intuitive derivation, which follows the tra- ditional physical wisdom of looking for integral principles first, and only then deriving their corresponding differential form. The integral principles associ- ated to (4) are conservation of mass, circulation–angular momentum (Kelvin’s theorem) and vortex filaments (Helmholtz’ theorem).

  • Studies on Blood Viscosity During Extracorporeal Circulation
    Nagoya ]. med. Sci. 31: 25-50, 1967. STUDIES ON BLOOD VISCOSITY DURING EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCULATION HrsASHI NAGASHIMA 1st Department of Surgery, Nagoya University School of Medicine (Director: Prof Yoshio Hashimoto) ABSTRACT Blood viscosity was studied during extracorporeal circulation by means of a cone in cone viscometer. This rotational viscometer provides sixteen kinds of shear rate, ranging from 0.05 to 250.2 sec-1 • Merits and demerits of the equipment were described comparing with the capillary viscometer. In experimental study it was well demonstrated that the whole blood viscosity showed the shear rate dependency at all hematocrit levels. The influence of the temperature change on the whole blood viscosity was clearly seen when hemato· crit was high and shear rate low. The plasma viscosity was 1.8 cp. at 37°C and Newtonianlike behavior was observed at the same temperature. ·In the hypothermic condition plasma showed shear rate dependency. Viscosity of 10% LMWD was over 2.2 fold as high as that of plasma. The increase of COz content resulted in a constant increase in whole blood viscosity and the increased whole blood viscosity after C02 insufflation, rapidly decreased returning to a little higher level than that in untreated group within 3 minutes. Clinical data were obtained from 27 patients who underwent hypothermic hemodilution perfusion. In the cyanotic group, w hole blood was much more viscous than in the non­ cyanotic. During bypass, hemodilution had greater influence upon whole blood viscosity than hypothermia, but it went inversely upon the plasma viscosity. The whole blood viscosity was more dependent on dilution rate than amount of diluent in mljkg.

Abstract This thesis consists of two projects on the behaviour of a novel vibrating-wire rheometer and a third project studying the gelation dynamics of aqueous solutions of Pluronic F127. In the first study, we use COMSOL to perform two-dimensional simulations of the oscillations of a wire in Newtonian and shear-thinning fluids. Our results show that the resonant behaviour of the wire agrees well with the theory of a wire vibrating in Newtonian fluids. In shear-thinning fluids, we find resonant behaviour similar to that in Newtonian fluids. In addition, we find that the shear-rate and viscosity in the fluid vary significantly in both space and time. We find that the resonant behaviour of the wire can be well described by the theory of a wire vibrating in a Newtonian fluid if the viscosity in the theory is set equal to the viscosity averaged over the cir- cumference of the wire and over one period of the wire’s oscillation at the resonant frequency.
