Quasi-Periodic Flows of Viscoelastic Fluids in Straight Tubes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Developments in the Flow of Complex Fluids in Tubes

Abstract

The effect of pressure gradient oscillations and longitudinal and transversal boundary oscillations on the flow of non-linearly viscoelastic fluids in circular tubes driven by a constant mean pressure gradient is discussed. Flow enhancement and anomalous flows due to frequency cancellation of superposed boundary waves and resonance like behavior due to the coupling of the viscoelastic and viscous properties leading to drastic enhancement of the instantaneous flow velocities, order of magnitude larger increases at certain frequencies of the driving quasi-periodic pressure gradient oscillating about a zero mean is reviewed. Mean secondary flows of non-linear viscoelastic fluids driven by pulsating pressure gradients in straight tubes of non-circular cross section are discussed.
