超过聚合物减阻的渐近极限

Exceeding the asymptotic limit of polymer drag reduction

George H. Choueiri, Jose M. Lopez, Bjoern Hof

摘要:

通过加入少量高分子量聚合物,可以显著降低湍流的阻力。虽然减阻最初随着聚合物浓度增加,但它最终饱和到所谓的最大减阻(MDR)渐近线;这种渐近线通常归因于动力学被降低到轻微但持久的湍流运动状态。与这种公认的观点相反,我们将在下面说明,对于适当选择的参数,聚合物可以使阻力减小到超过建议的渐近极限,消除紊流,并让位于层流。然而,在较高的聚合物浓度的层流状态变得不稳定,导致在波动的流动与MDR渐近线的特征阻力。因此,渐近态在动力学上与普通湍流是不相干的。

英文摘要:

The drag of turbulent flows can be drastically decreased by addition of small amounts of high molecular weight polymers. While drag reduction initially increases with polymer concentration, it eventually saturates to what is known as the maximum drag reduction (MDR) asymptote; this asymptote is generally attributed to the dynamics being reduced to a marginal yet persistent state of subdued turbulent motion. Contrary to this accepted view we will show in the following that for an appropriate choice of parameters polymers can reduce the drag beyond the suggested asymptotic limit, eliminating turbulence and giving way to laminar flow. However at higher polymer concentrations the laminar state becomes unstable, resulting in a fluctuating flow with the characteristic drag of the MDR asymptote. The asymptotic state is hence dynamically disconnected from ordinary turbulence.
