One opportunity is to distinguish Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. The difference between both classes of fluids can be observed in a variety of situations. For example, consider two bowls containing two different types fluids, e.g., water and a polymer solution representing a Newtonian and a non-Newtonian fluid, respectively. Inserting a rotating rod in each bowl (see figure 1.1), we observe that in case of the Newtonian fluid, a characteristic dip arises near the rotating rod due to centrifugal forces pushing the fluid outwards. In contrast, some non-Newtonian fluids climb up along the rod. This effect is known as the Weissenberg effect [BAH77], [Tan88]. (a) Newtonian (b) Non-Newtonian Figure 1.1: Weissenberg Rod Climbing Effect [BAH77]. 2 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION Particularly, in industrial applications non-Newtonian fluids are of great interest, since many used fluids, e.g., lacquers or polymer solutions show non-Newtonian effects. In general, real-world experiments of industrial processes can be complex, cost-inten- sive, and time-consuming. Therefore, numerical simulations are important and can be useful in order to optimize the process with respect to cost or quality aspects. Thus, the investigation of mathematical models governing the flow of non-Newtonian fluids is important regarding both analysis and numerical simulations. In the context of this thesis, the term analysis in the title refers to both the meaning in the mathematical sense and the more informal meaning of "computational analysis", i.e., the numerical investigation of the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids. Non-Newtonian fluids are characterized by different features, such as viscosity, elas- ticity, or memory effects. An important feature of polymeric liquids is the fact that their viscosity changes with the shear rate, so-called generalized Newtonian fluids on which this thesis is focused on. The mathematical model describing the motion of these fluids is given by the system @ u + u u = div S p + f; on [0; T ] Rn @t · r − r × div u = 0; on [0; T ] Rn (1.1) Rn × u t=0 = u0; on : j Here, the stress tensor S is given by S = 2 µ( D 2)D with the rate-of-deformation tensor k k D = 1 u + ( u)T , and the viscosity function µ depending on D 2 respectively on 2 r r k k the shear rate γ_ = p2 D , where D denotes the Hilbert-Schmidt norm. k k k k The main result of this thesis is the proof of existence of problem (1.1) in the maximal Lp-regularity class. By means of maximal Lp-regularity, local (in time) strong well- posedness of this model is obtained under certain restrictions concerning the viscosity function. For example, for the viscosity function 2 2 m−2 µ( D ) = µ (1 + D ) 2 k k 0 k k with µ0 > 0 which is often used in the mathematical literature, we obtain local existence Rn 3n 4 in ; (n > 1) for m > 2(n−1) , i.e., in the 3D case m > 5=4 is sufficient. We emphasize that according to the engineering− literature the range of interest concerning m is m > 1. In the numerical part, the emphasis is on two-phase flows, since many interesting problems appear in this context. Moreover, we compare experiment and simulation of a binary droplet collision using non-Newtonian fluids, the behavior of which is assumed to be that of generalized Newtonian fluids. Furthermore, assuming the situation of system (1.1), we show the admissibility of the viscosity function used in the simulation. The remainder of the thesis is organized as follows. Starting from the physical sci- ence with some general notations and introducing the meaning of non-Newtonian fluids, we obtain an insight into the variety and the modeling of non-Newtonian fluids. The main subject of chapter 2 is the development of constitutive equations, i.e., of relations between the velocity field u and the stress tensor S which depend on the used sub- stance. The simplest constitutive equation for an incompressible viscous Newtonian fluid 3 is given by the linear relation S = 2µD with the constant dynamical viscosity µ and the rate-of-deformation tensor D. Among others, we find out the constitutive equations for describing the Weissenberg effect (see figure 1.1). In particular, we obtain the consti- tutive equations for generalized Newtonian fluids, which result from the linear relation for incompressible viscous Newtonian fluids by replacing the constant viscosity µ by a function depending on the shear rate γ_ . In chapter 3, we concentrate on generalized Newtonian fluids and develop the proof of existence and uniqueness of local (in time) strong solutions of problem (1.1) by means of maximal Lp-regularity. The main result is stated in theorem 3.3.1. We close this chapter with a survey about some results given in mathematical literature and compare our existence result. Chapter 4 completes the expositions about non-Newtonian fluids with a look at the numerical modeling of two-phase flow.

  • 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.
