Abstract This thesis is a theoretical study of the steady pressure driven channel flow of electrorhe- ological fluids (ERF) under a space dependent electric field generated by finite electrodes. Chapter 1 consists in a general description of ERF and their engineering applications and presents also the motivation, the goal and the borders of this work. Chapter 2 summarizes the governing equations of electrorheology (based on the phe- nomenological approach presented in [28, 29] with the corresponding jump conditions. It is assumed that the flow does not affect the electric field and consequently, the electrical problem is decoupled from the mechanical one. Both electrical and mechanical boundary value problems are formulated for various configurations of finite electrodes with different potentials placed along the channel walls. The simple case of two infinite electrodes which generate a homogeneous electric field is solved analytically. In Chapter 3 analytical solutions for different mixed boundary value problems arising from the electrical problem formulated in Chapter 2 are found by use of the Wiener- Hopf method. The solutions are given in terms of infinite series involving Gamma func- tions. The results can be used to describe the electric field generated between two infinite grounded electrodes by either one long electrode or two long electrodes charged in an anti-symmetric or a non-symmetric way. The electric field in the vicinity of the electrode edges is asymptotically evaluated. Some parametric studies are made with respect to the ratio between the permittivity of the electrorheological fluid and the permittivity of the isolating material outside the channel. We compare the analytical with numerical solutions and find good agreement which is considered as a validation of the numerical method. Chapter 4 treats the mechanical problem in more detail. First a review of the constitu- tive models used to describe the ER fluids in the literature is given. Then two-dimensional alternative constitutive laws appropriate for numerical simulations originating from the Casson-like and power law models are introduced using a parameter δ. In the end we non-dimensionalize the problem in both cases. In the last Chapter, we simulate numerically the flow of the Rheobay TP AI 3565 ER-fluid using the alternative Casson-like model and the EPS 3301 ER-fluid using the alternative power-law model by applying a finite element program. The behaviour of different fields such as velocity, pressure, generalized viscosity and the second invariant of the strain rate tensor near the electrode edges is studied for both fluids. A comparison with the experimental data is performed, validating the simulations. In order to investigate how 6 the numerical solution depends on the constitutive model we perform a parallel analysis of the two rheological models by applying them to the same material (Rheobay). Then we optimize the configuration of the electrodes by using the inhomogeneities caused by the end effects of the electrodes in order to obtain an enhancement of the ER-effect. Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit ist eine theoretische Studie einer durch station¨aren Druck angetriebenen ebenen Poiseuille Str¨omung von elektrorheologischen Fl¨ussigkeiten (ERF) zwischen zwei parallelen Platten in einem r¨aumlich variablen elektrischen Feld, das durch endliche Elek- troden generiert wird. Kapitel 1 besteht aus einer generellen Beschreibung von ERFs und ihren technischen Anwendungen und pr¨asentiert die Motivation, das Ziel und die Grenzen dieser Arbeit. Kapitel 2 fasst die grundlegenden Gleichungen der Elektrorheologie (basierend auf ph¨anomenologischen Ans¨atzen, die in [28, 29] pr¨asentiert wurden mit den dazugeh¨orenden Sprungbedingungen) zusammen. Es wurde angenommen, dass die Str¨omung nicht das elektrische Feld beeinflusst und folglich das elektrische Problem vom mechanischen Prob- lem entkoppelt ist. Beide, elektrische und mechanische Randwertprobleme, sind in ver- schiedenen Konfigurationen von endlichen Elektroden mit unterschiedlichen Potentialen entlang der Kanalw¨ande formuliert.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • The Influence of Negative Viscosity on Wind-Driven, Barotropic Ocean
    916 JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY VOLUME 30 The In¯uence of Negative Viscosity on Wind-Driven, Barotropic Ocean Circulation in a Subtropical Basin DEHAI LUO AND YAN LU Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Ocean University of Qingdao, Key Laboratory of Marine Science and Numerical Modeling, State Oceanic Administration, Qingdao, China (Manuscript received 3 April 1998, in ®nal form 12 May 1999) ABSTRACT In this paper, a new barotropic wind-driven circulation model is proposed to explain the enhanced transport of the western boundary current and the establishment of the recirculation gyre. In this model the harmonic Laplacian viscosity including the second-order term (the negative viscosity term) in the Prandtl mixing length theory is regarded as a tentative subgrid-scale parameterization of the boundary layer near the wall. First, for the linear Munk model with weak negative viscosity its analytical solution can be obtained with the help of a perturbation expansion method. It can be shown that the negative viscosity can result in the intensi®cation of the western boundary current. Second, the fully nonlinear model is solved numerically in some parameter space. It is found that for the ®nite Reynolds numbers the negative viscosity can strengthen both the western boundary current and the recirculation gyre in the northwest corner of the basin. The drastic increase of the mean and eddy kinetic energies can be observed in this case. In addition, the analysis of the time-mean potential vorticity indicates that the negative relative vorticity advection, the negative planetary vorticity advection, and the negative viscosity term become rather important in the western boundary layer in the presence of the negative viscosity.

  • Circulation, Lecture 4
    4. Circulation A key integral conservation property of fluids is the circulation. For convenience, we derive Kelvin’s circulation theorem in an inertial coordinate system and later transform back to Earth coordinates. In inertial coordinates, the vector form of the momentum equation may be written dV = −α∇p − gkˆ + F, (4.1) dt where kˆ is the unit vector in the z direction and F represents the vector frictional acceleration. Now define a material curve that, however, is constrained to lie at all times on a surface along which some state variable, which we shall refer to for now as s,is a constant. (A state variable is a variable that can be expressed as a function of temperature and pressure.) The picture we have in mind is shown in Figure 3.1. 10 The arrows represent the projection of the velocity vector onto the s surface, and the curve is a material curve in the specific sense that each point on the curve moves with the vector velocity, projected onto the s surface, at that point. Now the circulation is defined as C ≡ V · dl, (4.2) where dl is an incremental length along the curve and V is the vector velocity. The integral is a closed integral around the curve. Differentiation of (4.2) with respect to this gives dC dV dl = · dl + V · . (4.3) dt dt dt Since the curve is a material curve, dl = dV, dt so the integrand of the last term in (4.3) can be written as a perfect derivative and so the term itself vanishes.

  • 4. Circulation and Vorticity This Chapter Is Mainly Concerned With
    4. Circulation and vorticity This chapter is mainly concerned with vorticity. This particular flow property is hard to overestimate as an aid to understanding fluid dynamics, essentially because it is difficult to mod- ify. To provide some context, the chapter begins by classifying all different kinds of motion in a two-dimensional velocity field. Equations are then developed for the evolution of vorticity in three dimensions. The prize at the end of the chapter is a fluid property that is related to vorticity but is even more conservative and therefore more powerful as a theoretical tool. 4.1 Two-dimensional flows According to a theorem of Helmholtz, any two-dimensional flowV()x, y can be decom- posed as V= zˆ × ∇ψ+ ∇χ , (4.1) where the “streamfunction”ψ()x, y and “velocity potential”χ()x, y are scalar functions. The first part of the decomposition is non-divergent and the second part is irrotational. If we writeV = uxˆ + v yˆ for the flow in the horizontal plane, then 4.1 says that u = –∂ψ⁄ ∂y + ∂χ ∂⁄ x andv = ∂ψ⁄ ∂x + ∂χ⁄ ∂y . We define the vertical vorticity ζ and the divergence D as follows: ∂v ∂u 2 ζ =zˆ ⋅ ()∇ × V =------ – ------ = ∇ ψ , (4.2) ∂x ∂y ∂u ∂v 2 D =∇ ⋅ V =------ + ----- = ∇ χ . (4.3) ∂x ∂y Determination of the velocity field givenζ and D requires boundary conditions onψ andχ . Contours ofψ are called “streamlines”. The vorticity is proportional to the local angular velocity aboutzˆ . It is known entirely fromψ()x, y or the first term on the rhs of 4.1.

C > 0 Î Counterclockwise C < 0 Î Clockwise ESS227 Prof. Jin-Yi Yu Example • That circulation is a measure of rotation is demonstrated readily by considering a circular ring of fluid of radius R in solid-body rotation at angular velocity Ω about the z axis . • In this case, U = Ω × R, where R is the distance from the axis of rotation to the ring of fluid. Thus the circulation about the ring is given by: • In this case the circulation is just 2π times the angular momentum of the fluid ring about the axis of rotation. Alternatively, note that C/(πR2) = 2Ω so that the circulation divided by the area enclosed by the loop is just twice thlhe angular spee dfifhid of rotation of the ring. • Unlike angular momentum or angular velocity, circulation can be computed without reference to an axis of rotation; it can thus be used to characterize fluid rotation in situations where “angular velocity” is not defined easily.

  • 6 Fundamental Theorems: Vorticity and Circulation
    EOSC 512 2019 6 Fundamental Theorems: Vorticity and Circulation In GFD, and especially the study of the large-scale motions of the atmosphere and ocean, we are particularly interested in the rotation of the fluid. As a consequence, again assuming the motions are of large enough scale to feel the e↵ects of (in particular, the di↵erential) rotation of the outer shell of rotating, spherical planets: The e↵ects of rotation play a central role in the general dynamics of the fluid flow. This means that vorticity (rotation or spin of fluid elements) and circulation (related to a conserved quantity...) play an important role in governing the behaviour of large-scale atmospheric and oceanic motions. This can give us important insight into fluid behaviour that is deeper than what is derived from solving the equations of motion (which is challenging enough in the first place). In this section, we will develop two such theorems and principles related to the conservation of vorticity and circulation that are particularly useful in gaining insight into ocean and atmospheric flows. 6.1 Review: What is vorticity? Vorticity was previously defined as: @uk !i = ✏ijk (6.1) @xj Or, in vector notation: ~! = ~u r⇥ ˆi ˆj kˆ @ @ @ = (6.2) @x @y @z uvw @w @v @u @w @v @u = ˆi + ˆj + ˆi @y − @z @z − @x @x − @y ✓ ◆ ✓ ◆ ✓ ◆ Physically, the vorticity is two times the local rate of rotation (or “spin”) of a fluid element. Here, it is important to distinguish between circular motion and the rotation of the element. Here, the fluid element moving from A to B on the circular path has no vorticity, while the fluid element moving from C to D has non-zero vorticity.
