Creeping flow through a sudden contraction/expansion in an axisymmetric pipe is studied. Sampson’s solution for flow through a circular orifice in an infinite wall is used to derive an approximation for the excess pressure drop due to a sudden contraction/expansion in a pipe with a finite expansion ratio. The accuracy of this approximation obtained is verified by comparing its results to finite-element simulations and other previous numerical studies. The result can also be extended to a thin annular obstacle in a circular pipe. The “equivalent length” corresponding to the excess pressure drop is found to be barely half the radius of the smaller tube.

The main objetive of this work was to experimentally study the Flow dynamics of viscoelastic fluids (Boger fluid and Hase) when they flow through a contraction/expansion system defined by a hyperbolic tube, therefore through equations analogous to the Hagen-Poiseuille equation, the pressure drop associated with the viscous interaction was quantified, and subsequently the excess pressure drop (EPD), a parameter associated with the elasticity of viscoelastic fluids, conducting comparative studies with respect to a Newtonian reference for the same shear viscosity value, which allowed observing shear speed intervals where three predominant zones were observed. The first of them of shear type coinciding with the trajectories of the Newtonian fluid of identical viscosity value, the second zone was attributed to the elastic manifestation of the fluids due to the preferential development of the extensional flow that is in constant competition with the shear flow within of the same geometry. The third zone was attributed to a predominance of the shear flow over the extensional one, because of to the fact that the hyperbolic geometry favors the development of this type of flow at high values of shear rate KEYWORDS: Excess pressure drop; Extensional flow; Hyperbolic contractions
