High Reynolds number Navier-Stokes solutions and boundary layer separation induced by a rectilinear vortex

2013

Abstract We compute the solutions of Prandtl’s and Navier–Stokes equations for the two dimensional flow induced by a rectilinear vortex interacting with a boundary in the half plane. For this initial datum Prandtl’s equation develops, in a finite time, a separation singularity. We investigate the different stages of unsteady separation for Navier–Stokes solution at different Reynolds numbers Re = 103–105, and we show the presence of a large-scale interaction between the viscous boundary layer and the inviscid outer flow. We also see a subsequent stage, characterized by the presence of a small-scale interaction, which is visible only for moderate-high Re numbers Re = 104–105. We also investi…

Effective thermal conductivity of superfluid helium in short channels

2014

The aim of this paper is to explore how the effective thermal conductivity of small channels filled with superfluid helium II in the laminar regime separates from the classical Landau expression as the channel becomes shorter. The Landau expression is valid for fully developed Poiseuille flow for the normal component, and therefore is suitable for long channels. By taking into account entrance effects, we show a transition from a heat flux proportional to ∆T /l (Landau regime) for long channels, to a heat flux proportional to l^(1/3) (∆T /l)^(2/3) for short channels.

Flow Behavior of Chain and Star Polymers and Their Mixtures

2018

Star-shaped polymers show a continuous change of properties from flexible linear chains to soft colloids, as the number of arms is increased. To investigate the effect of macromolecular architecture on the flow properties, we employ computer simulations of single chain and star polymers as well as of their mixtures under Poiseuille flow. Hydrodynamic interactions are incorporated through the multi-particle collision dynamics (MPCD) technique, while a bead-spring model is used to describe the polymers. For the ultradilute systems at rest, the polymers are distributed uniformly in the slit channel, with a weak dependence on their number of arms. Once flow is applied, however, we find that the…
