强弹性槽道流中随机扰动的非模态放大

Nonmodal amplification of stochastic disturbances in strongly elastic channel flows

Mihailo R. Jovanović, Satish Kumar

摘要:

本文分析了Oldrophil-B流体在弹性主导的槽道流动中随机扰动的非模态放大。对于高弹性数$μ$和有限Weissenberg数$We$的流向恒定流,我们表明,线性化的动态可以分解成慢和快的子系统,并建立解析的稳态方差的速度和聚合物应力波动规模为$O (We^2)$和$O (We^4)$,分别。这表明,即使在粘弹性流体的弱惯性随机驱动的通道流中,也可以维持大的速度变化。我们进一步表明,壁的正常和展向力的流动波动的影响最强,这些力量的影响是最大的流向速度和聚合物应力张量的流向分量的波动。潜在的物理机制涉及聚合物拉伸,其引入了类似于惯性主导的流动中的涡旋倾斜的流动波动的提升。我们的分析结果的有效性证实了随机模拟。在这里检查的现象提供了一个可能的路线的旁路过渡到弹性湍流的早期阶段,并可能被利用来提高微流体装置中的混合。

英文摘要:

Nonmodal amplification of stochastic disturbances in elasticity-dominated channel flows of Oldroyd-B fluids is analyzed in this work. For streamwise-constant flows with high elasticity numbers $μ$ and finite Weissenberg numbers $We$, we show that the linearized dynamics can be decomposed into slow and fast subsystems, and establish analytically that the steady-state variances of velocity and polymer stress fluctuations scale as $O (We^2)$ and $O (We^4)$, respectively. This demonstrates that large velocity variance can be sustained even in weakly inertial stochastically driven channel flows of viscoelastic fluids. We further show that the wall-normal and spanwise forces have the strongest impact on the flow fluctuations, and that the influence of these forces is largest on the fluctuations in streamwise velocity and the streamwise component of the polymer stress tensor. The underlying physical mechanism involves polymer stretching that introduces a lift-up of flow fluctuations similar to vortex tilting in inertia-dominated flows. The validity of our analytical results is confirmed in stochastic simulations. The phenomenon examined here provides a possible route for the early stages of a bypass transition to elastic turbulence and might be exploited to enhance mixing in microfluidic devices.
