Rotationally Symmetric Flow

The flow produced by an infinite rotating disk when the fluid at infinity is in a state of solid rotation is investigated numerically. When the fluid at infinity is rotating in the same sense as the disk, physically acceptable solutions exist in all cases. When the fluid at infinity is rotating in the opposite sense to that of the disk, the only physically acceptable solutions appear to be those in which there is a uniform suction present acting through the disk.

Rotationally Symmetric Flow

This is a numerical investigation of the steady flow produced by an infinite rotating disk when the second-order fluid at infinity is in a state of solid rotation. The flow field is determined when the fluid at infinity is rotating in the same sense as that of the disk. The use of this viscometric representation limits the result to weakly viscoelastic fluids. The numerical computations obtained indicate that the question of increased or decreased total (radial plus tangential) wall stresses due to the presence of elasticity depends on the flow parameter S(S > 1 or S < 1, indicate that the fluid at infinity having a faster or slower angular velocity compared with that of the disk). We found that the total wall stress is higher or lower when compared with a Newtonian fluid depending on S > 1 or S < 1, respectively. With increasing |α| (as the fluid becomes more non-Newtonian), the total wall stress is increased or decreased when S < 1 or S > 1.

Rotationally Symmetric Flow

The similarity equations for rotationally symmetric flow above an infinite counter–rotating disk are investigated both numerically and analytically. Numerical solutions are found when α, the ratio of the disk's angular speed to that of the rigidly rotating fluid far from it, is greater than −0.68795. It is deduced that there exists a critical value αcr, of α above which finite solutions are possible. The value of α and the limiting structure as α → αcrare found using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The flow structure is found to consist of a thin viscous wall region above which lies a thick inviscid layer and yet another viscous transition layer. Furthermore, this structure is not unique: there can be any number of thick inviscid layers, each separated from the next by a viscous transition layer, before the outer boundary conditions on the solution are satisfied. However, comparison with the numerical solutions indicates that a single inviscid layer is preferred.

Rotationally Symmetric Flow

This research features one parameter family of solutions representing rotationally symmetric flow of non-Newtonian fluid obeying Reiner-Rivlin model. Such flows take place over a revolving plane permeable surface through origin such that fluid at infinity also undergoes uniform rotation about the vertical axis. Heat transfer accompanied with viscous heating effect is also analyzed. A similarity solution is proposed that results into a coupled non-linear system with four unknowns. Boundary layer structure is characterized by a parameter [Formula: see text] that compares angular velocity of external flow with that of the rotating surface. Solutions are developed by a well-known package bvp4c of MATLAB for full range of [Formula: see text]. Flow pattern for different choices of [Formula: see text] is scrutinized by computing both 2 D and 3 D streamlines. It is further noted that value of suction velocity is important with regards to the sign of axial velocity component. Boundary layer suppresses considerably whenever the surface is permeable. For sufficiently high suction velocity with [Formula: see text], entire fluid undergoes rigid body rotation. In no suction case, axially upward flow accelerates for increasing values of parameter [Formula: see text] in the range [Formula: see text], whereas opposite trend is apparent in the case [Formula: see text]. Results for normalized wall shear and Nusselt number are scrutinized for various choices of embedded parameters.
