Reynold's transport theorem Start with the most general theorem, which is Reynold's transport theorem for a fixed control volume. d Z @ Z Z ρφdΩ = ρφdΩ + ρφu · ndS^ (1) dt Ω @t Ω S the LHS is the total change of φ for a control volume which equals the time rate of change of φ inside the control volume plus the net flux of φ through the control volume. Conservation of Mass In order to consider the Conservation of mass, set φ =1, which gives d Z @ Z Z ρdΩ = ρdΩ + ρu · ndS^ (2) dt Ω @t Ω S @ the LHS must equal zero due to conservation of mass. The @t can go inside the integral because Ω doesn't depend on t and we can use Green's theorem (Divergence theorem) to convert the surface integral into a volume integral. Now the equation becomes Z @ Z Z @ρ 0 = ρdΩ + r · (ρu)dΩ = + r · (ρu) dΩ (3) Ω @t Ω Ω @t Now because Ω can be any arbitrary control volume, the expression inside the parentheses must be always true so we can drop the integral. We now have an equation for mass in a compressible fluid where ρ is not assumed to be uniform @ρ 0 = + r · (ρu) (4) @t @ρ We can use the product rule to expand the @t + r · (ρu) term into two terms, u·rρ+ρr·u. Rewriting we get @ρ 0 = + u · rρ + ρr · u (5) @t D @ρ And we notice the material derivative Dt = @t + u · r will give us Dρ Dρ 0 = + ρr · u or more simply 0 = + r · (ρu) (6) Dt Dt This is still the general case for a fluid that can have a spatially and time varying density. Now we assume the special case of incompressible flow in which ρ is uniform. The material derivative term vanishes and the expression reduces to r · u = 0 (7) This demonstrates that in an incompressible flow, the divergence of velocity must be zero. These two notions are used interchangeably and referred to as the incompressibility constraint. 1 Conservation of Momentum In order to consider the Conservation of momentum, set φ = u, which gives d Z @ Z Z ρudΩ = ρudΩ + ρu (u · n^) dS (8) dt Ω @t Ω S This time the LHS are the total forces acting on the control volume, which consist of the body forces acting on the volume and the tractions acting on the surface. For now, we will denote the body forces as simply fb which are essentially the same forces acting on a body in Newton's law, f = ma. The forces acting on the body are conservative, such as gravity which is an example of a conservative force because no dissipation occurs while moving a point mass around a closed @ loop. Again, we will bring the @t inside of the first RHS term and apply Green's theorem to convert the surface integral into a volume integral. The surface tractions correspond to surface stresses, that we denote with the stress tensor τ which is the total stress. So far we have Z Z Z @ Z ρfbdΩ + n^ · τ dS = (ρu)dΩ + r · (ρu u)dΩ (9) Ω S Ω @t Ω We use divergence theorem again on the last remaining surface integral Z Z Z @ Z ρfbdΩ + r · τ dΩ = (ρu)dΩ + r · (ρu u)dΩ (10) Ω Ω Ω @t Ω and can now combine into a single integral for each side Z Z @ ρfb + r · τ dΩ = (ρu) + r · (ρu u) dΩ (11) Ω Ω @t Again, we assert that this must be true for any arbitrary control volume, so we can drop the integral which gives us @ ρf + r · τ = (ρu) + r · (ρu u) (12) b @t Let's pause for a moment and consider the physical meaning of these terms. The LHS is same as before, these are the body forces acting on the fluid (per unit volume) and the stresses on the surface of the volume (per unit volume). The first term on the RHS is the rate of increase of momentum (per unit volume). The second term is rate of momentum loss by advection through the surface of the volume (per unit volume) and looks like the divergence of kinetic energy. This last expression (ρu u) actually has the form of a tensor, which makes the operation of r · (ρu u) somewhat difficult to interpret in vector format. However, in indicial notation, the operation is @(ρu u ) mathematically unambiguous, i j . The expression is called a dyadic product and has the @xj tensor identity: r · (a b) = a rb + b r · a (13) applying this identity to the (ρu u) term gives r · (ρu u) = ρu ru + u r · (ρu) (14) Substituting these terms into the earlier equation we now have @(ρu) ρf + r · τ = + ρu ru + u r · (ρu) (15) b @t 2 We also know that the conservation of mass holds, and we use its earlier form of @ρ r · (ρu) = − (16) @t to substitute into the last term on the RHS from the previous equation, which gives @(ρu) @ρ ρf + r · τ = + ρu ru − u (17) b @t @t We can expand out the first term on the RHS using the product rule @(ρu) @u @ρ = ρ + u (18) @t @t @t now substituting this back into the previous equation @u @ρ @ρ ρf + r · τ = ρ + u + ρu ru − u (19) b @t @t @t now the second and fourth terms cancel while the first and third terms combine to become the material derivative of u Du ρf + r · τ = ρ (20) b Dt Rearrange the order of the terms and consider their physical meaning. D(ρu) = r · τ + ρf (21) Dt b The LHS is the inertial term and represents the transport of momentum in a fluid, which is described by the material derivative of ρu. This is balanced by two physical quantities: 1) the divergence of a source term, τ , which represents the total stress acting on the body and 2) the body forces to which the fluid is subjected. This is the continuum form of f = ma, for fluids and other continua. [Note, at this stage for a rotating frame, substitute u for the appropriate version that includes the angular and translational velocities.] Constitutive Relationship The first thing to do is rewrite τ (total stress) as two parts, the isotropic (normal) stress and the deviatoric stress arising from shear stresses: τ = −P I + σ (22) where I is the identity matrix and P is the first invariant of the stress. In order to describe how the applied deviatoric stress generates deformation of the fluid, we need to know the constitutive relationship between stress and strain rate (i.e. the rheology of the fluid). The theory of Newtonian fluids leads to the following relationship τ = κ (r · u) I + η ru + (ru)T (23) where T indicates the transpose of the tensor, κ is the bulk (or expansion) viscosity and η is the dynamic viscosity. For an incompressible fluids, the divergence of velocity is zero so the 3 first term vanishes. To gain some insight into the second term, we will use the definition of the deformation tensor, D, or strain rate tensor, which is 1 D = ru + (ru)T (24) 2 it is a symmetric tensor that physically describes the rate of stretching of a fluid. A lot of people write this in indicial notation and it is more commonly called e: 1 δu δu e = i + j (25) 2 δxj δxi In either form, it is also complemented by the antisymmetric friend, the vorticity tensor (or spin tensor) 1 1 δu δu W = − ru − (ru)T = i − j (26) 2 2 δxj δxi The vorticity tensor describes the rotational component of deformation. In general, any defor- mation can be decomposed into two parts, the stretching and the vorticity. Of course, these two tensors can be assembled into a single tensor by simple addition to give L, the velocity gradient tensor L = ru = D − W (27) Substituting back in, everything simplifies down to the usual constitutive relationship σ = 2ηD (28) and now we can replace the total stress with the two parts (isotropic and deviatoric) τ = −P I + 2ηD (29) Navier Stokes equation Getting back to the conservation of momentum equation, we can substitute the new expression for total stress into the stress divergence Du ρ = r · (−P I + η ru + (ru)T + ρf (30) Dt b We need apply the product rule again Du ρ = −∇P + η r2u + r(r · u) + ρf (31) Dt b once again, notice there is a divergence of velocity, which must be set to zero for incompressible flow and we finally arrive at the Navier-Stokes equation Du ρ = −∇P + ηr2u + ρf (32) Dt b dividing through by ρ reveals that the last term on the RHS is actually the diffusion of momentum (ν = η/ρ is the kinematic viscosity which has units of diffusivity, m2s−1 ) Du 1 = − rP + νr2u + f (33) Dt ρ b 4 Back up a few steps to when the product rule was applied and notice that it was assumed that viscosity, η, is a constant. This is true for many disciplines that use fluid dynamics, but the one thing that is true for Earth materials is that η is rarely constant because it depends strongly on temperature, pressure, stress, grain size, water content, etc. To be technically correct when implementing this divergence operator, one must be very careful in their treatment of η. The most common form of the Navier-Stokes equation includes gravity as the only body force Du 1 = − rP + νr2u + g (34) Dt ρ Scaling analysis and Dynamic similarity We can gain further insight into the equation by performing a scaling analysis.
