There are many studies on variations of the Maxwell model. Tichy (1996) discussed an admissible formulation of the Maxwell viscoelastic fluid model using a convected derivative and applied it to two-dimensional lubrication flow. Tichy obtained a solution using a regular perturbation in the Deborah number with the conventional lubrication solution as the leading term. This paper extends Tichy’s model by using a double regular perturbation to the convected Maxwell model. A correspondence solution can also be obtained. Our sliding velocity solution is different from Tichy’s solution; and a modified Reynolds equation is also different from that by Tichy.

In certain applications where the lubricant is subjected to rapidly changing conditions along its flowing path (such as an elastohydrodynamic contact), the time dependent nature of the lubricant may be significant. One of the simplest types of models to account for such fluid time dependence is the Maxwell model. The time derivative used in such a model must be written with respect to coordinates which translate and rotate with the fluid, or coordinates which deform with the fluid. Unfortunately, such derivatives greatly complicate problems and are rarely used, due to nonlinear coupling of stresses. An admissible formulation of the Maxwell viscoelastic fluid model using the convected derivative has been applied to lubrication flow. Using a regular perturbation in the Deborah number, with the conventional lubrication solution as the leading term, a solution can be obtained. Viscoelasticity may raise or lower pressure depending on combinations of surface slope and curvature.

In certain applications where the lubricant is subjected to rapidly changing conditions along its flowing path (such as an elastohydrodynamic contact), the inherently time dependent nature of the lubricant may be significant. The simplest type of model to correctly account for such time dependence is the second-order fluid, which is a systematic small departure from Newtonian behavior, involving higher order rate-of-rate-of strain tensors. As in a companion paper using the Maxwell model, the formalities of applying such a model to thin film flow are emphasized. Using a regular perturbation in the Deborah number, with the conventional lubrication solution as the leading term, a solution can be obtained. Viscoelasticity may raise or lower pressure depending on the nature of edge boundary conditions.

Nowadays, the emergence of new lubricants requires an enhancement of the rheological models and methods used for solution of corresponding initial boundary-value problems. In particular, models that take into account viscoelastic properties are of great interest. In the present paper we consider the mathematical model of nonstationary motion of a viscoelastic fluid in roller bearings. We used the Maxwell fluid model for the modeling of fluid properties. The viscoelastic properties are exhibited by many lubricants that use polymer additives. In addition, viscoelastic properties can be essential at high fluid speeds. Also, viscoelastic properties can be significant in the case of thin gaps. Maxwell's model is one of the most common models of viscoelastic materials. It combines the relative simplicity of constitutive equations with the ability to describe a stress relaxation. In addition, viscoelastic fluids also allow us to describe some effects that are missing in the case of viscous fluid. An example it is worth to mention the Weissenberg effect and a number of others. In particular, such effects can be used to increase the efficiency of the film carrier in the sliding bearings. Here we introduced characteristic assumptions on the form of the flow, allowing to significantly simplify the solution of the problem. We consider so-called self-similar solutions, which allows us to get a solution in an analytical form. As a result these assumptions, the formulae for pressure and friction forces are derived. Their dependency on time and Deborah number is analyzed. The limiting values of the flow characteristics were obtained. The latter can be used for steady state of the flow regime. Differences from the case of Newtonian fluid are discussed. It is shown that viscoelastic properties are most evident at the initial stage of flow, when the effects of non-stationarity are most important.

We have investigated the peristaltic motion of a non-Newtonian fluid characterized by the finitely extendable nonlinear elastic-Peterlin (FENE-P) fluid model. A background for the development of the differential constitutive equation of this model has been provided. The flow analysis is carried out both for two-dimensional planar channel and axisymmetric tube. The governing equations have been simplified under the widely used assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number in a frame of reference that moves with constant wave speed. An exact solution is obtained for the stream function and longitudinal pressure gradient with no slip condition. We have portrayed the effects of Deborah number and extensibility parameter on velocity profile, trapping phenomenon, and normal stress. It is observed that normal stress is an increasing function of Deborah number and extensibility parameter. As far as the velocity at the channel (tube) center is concerned, it decreases (increases) by increasing Deborah number (extensibility parameter). The non-Newtonian rheology also affect the size of trapped bolus in a sense that it decreases (increases) by increasing Deborah number (extensibility parameter). Further, it is observed through numerical integration that both Deborah number and extensibility parameter have opposite effects on pressure rise per wavelength and frictional forces at the wall. Moreover, it is shown that the results for the Newtonian model can be deduced as a special case of the FENE-P model

In this work, a semianalytic solution for the acoustic streaming phenomenon, generated by standing waves in Maxwell fluids through a two-dimensional microchannel (resonator), is derived. The mathematical model is non-dimensionalized and several dimensionless parameters that characterize the phenomenon arise: the ratio between the oscillation amplitude of the resonator and the half-wavelength ( $\eta =2A/\lambda _{a}$ ); the product of the fluid relaxation time times the angular frequency known as the Deborah number ( $De=\lambda _{1}\omega$ ); the aspect ratio between the microchannel height and the wavelength ( $\epsilon =2 H_{0}/\lambda _{a}$ ); and the ratio between half the height of the microchannel and the thickness of the viscous boundary layer ( $\alpha =H_{0}/\delta _{\nu }$ ). In the limit when $\eta \ll 1$ , we obtain the hydrodynamic behaviour of the system using a regular perturbation method. In the present work, we show that the acoustic streaming speed is proportional to $\alpha ^{2.65}De^{1.9}$ , and the acoustic pressure varies as $\alpha ^{6/5}De^{1/2}$ . Also, we have found that the growth of inner vortex is due to convective terms in the Maxwell rheological equation. Furthermore, the velocity antinodes show a high dependency on the Deborah number, highlighting the fluid's viscoelastic properties and the appearance of resonance points. Due to the limitations of perturbation methods, we will only analyse narrow microchannels.

The two-dimensional characteristics of the vapor-liquid two-phase flow of liquid helium in a pipe are numerically investigated to realize the further development and high performance of new cryogenic engineering applications. First, the governing equations of the two-phase flow of liquid helium based on the unsteady thermal nonequilibrium multi-fluid model are presented and several flow characteristics are numerically calculated, taking into account the effect of superfluidity. Based on the numerical results, the two-dimensional structure of the two-phase flow of liquid helium is shown in detail, and it is also found that the phase transition of the normal fluid to the superfluid and the generation of superfluid counterflow against normal fluid flow are conspicuous in the large gas phase volume fraction region where the liquid to gas phase change actively occurs. Furthermore, it is clarified that the mechanism of the He I to He II phase transition caused by the temperature decrease is due to the deprivation of latent heat for vaporization from the liquid phase. According to these theoretical results, the fundamental characteristics of the cryogenic two-phase flow are predicted. The numerical results obtained should contribute to the realization of advanced cryogenic industrial applications.

Moment Lyapunov Exponents

The moment Lyapunov exponents of a two-dimensional viscoelastic system under bounded noise excitation are studied in this paper. An example of this system is the transverse vibration of a viscoelastic column under the excitation of stochastic axial compressive load. The stochastic parametric excitation is modeled as a bounded noise process, which is a realistic model of stochastic fluctuation in engineering applications. The moment Lyapunov exponent of the system is given by the eigenvalue of an eigenvalue problem. The method of regular perturbation is applied to obtain weak noise expansions of the moment Lyapunov exponent, Lyapunov exponent, and stability index in terms of the small fluctuation parameter. The results obtained are compared with those for which the effect of viscoelasticity is not considered.
