iscous two‐fluid channel flows arise in different kinds of coating technologies. The corresponding mathematical models represent two‐dimensional free boundary value problems for the Navier‐Stokes equations. In this paper the solvability of the related stationary problems is discussed and computational results are presented. Furthermore, it is shown that depending on the flow parameters like viscosity or density ratios and on the fluxes there can happen nonexistence of steady‐state solutions. For other parameter sets the solution is even unique. Dvieju, tekančiu kanale, klampiu skysčiu srauto uždavinys iškyla taikant ivairias skirtingu rušiu paviršiu padengimo technologijas.

Two Fluid

Two‐fluid channel flows arise in different kinds of coating technologies. The corresponding mathematical models represent two‐dimensional free boundary value problems for the Navier‐Stokes equations or their modifications. In this paper we are concerned with the so‐called Boussinesq‐approximation of the coupled heat‐ and mass transfer. Thermocapillary convection is included. The solvability of two related stationary problems is discussed. The solution techniques of both problems are quite different. The obtained results generalize previous results for similar isothermal problems.

Two Fluid

Nonisothermal viscous two-fluid flows occur in numerous kinds of coating devices. The corresponding mathematical models often represent two-dimensional free boundary value problems for the Navier-Stokes equations or their modifications. In the present paper we are concerned with a particular problem of coupled heat and mass transfer. Marangoni convection is incorporated, too. The solvability of a corresponding stationary problem is discussed. The obtained results generalize previous results for a similar isothermal problem.

The work is devoted to the analysis of the flow of immiscible liquid in a flat channel and the creation of calculation schemes for determining the flow parameters. A critical analysis of the well-known Two Fluids Model was carried out and a new scheme for the determination of wall and interfacial friction, called the hydraulic approximation in the theory of stratified flows, was proposed. Verification of the proposed approximate model was carried out on the basis of a direct numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equations for each fluid by a finite-difference method with phase-boundary tracking by the VOF (Volume of Fluid) method. The graphical dependencies illustrating the change in the interfase boundaries of liquids and the averaged over the occupied area of the phase velocities along the flat channel are presented. The results of comparative calculations for two-fluid models are also given, according to the developed model in the hydraulic approximation and direct modeling. It is shown that the calculations in accordance with the hydraulic approximation are more consistent with the simulation results. Thus, the model of hydraulic approximation is the most preferred method for calculating stratified flows, especially in cases of variable volumetric content of liquids.

In this paper we present effective preconditioning techniques for solving the nonsymmetric systems that arise from the discretization of the Navier–Stokes equations. These linear systems are solved using either Krylov subspace methods or the Richardson scheme. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our techniques in handling time-accurate as well as steady-state solutions. We also compare our solvers with those published previously.

Steady State Solutions

The dynamic response to shear of a fluid-filled square cavity with stable temperature stratification is investigated numerically. The shear is imposed by the constant translation of the top lid, and is quantified by the associated Reynolds number. The stratification, quantified by a Richardson number, is imposed by maintaining the temperature of the top lid at a higher constant temperature than that of the bottom, and the side walls are insulating. The Navier–Stokes equations under the Boussinesq approximation are solved, using a pseudospectral approximation, over a wide range of Reynolds and Richardson numbers. Particular attention is paid to the dynamical mechanisms associated with the onset of instability of steady state solutions, and to the complex and rich dynamics occurring beyond.

Two Fluid

The focus of this research is to study fluidic transport through carbon nanotubes. The nanotubes studied were formed by electrospinning Polycaplrolactone (PCL) nanofibers and then using them as channel templates in colyacrylamide blocks which were carbonized. A pressure driven flow is initiated through the nanochannels and the rate of emulsion formation is recorded with a CCD camera. Theoretical calculations are conducted for nanochannels because in many experiments, the nanochannels studied have two-phase flows, which make direct application of Poiseuille law impossible. The model used for the calculations is a slit with two fluid layers in between. In particular, in many experiments, decane-air system is of interest. The calculations are carried out using the Navier-Stokes equations. The results of the model are used to evaluate experimental volumetric flow rates and find the distribution of air and decane in the nanochannels.
