幂律流体的润滑轴对称重力流

Lubricated axisymmetric gravity currents of power-law fluids

Ayala A. Gyllenberg, Roiy Sayag

摘要:

冰川在其基岩上的运动或沿着固体表面的液滴在这些基底被润滑时可能变得不稳定。以前的研究模拟这样的系统耦合重力流(GC)组成的一种流体,润滑另一种流体的流动,并有两个传播的前线。当两种流体均为牛顿流体且流量恒定时,得到了整体相似解,而当顶部流体为应变率软化时,两种流体前缘的演化指数不同。在这里,我们探索理论和数值计算,这样的润滑GC在一个模型,描述了轴对称传播的幂律流体的顶部的牛顿流体,这两种流体的排放是幂律的时间。我们发现,该模型承认相似的解决方案,只有在特定的情况下,包括纯牛顿的情况下,为一定的排放指数,在渐近极限的流体粘度比,并在附近的流体的前线。通常,每个流体前缘具有幂律时间演化,其具有与相应流体的非润滑GC类似的指数,并且取决于两种流体性质的截距。因此,我们确定了两种机制,通过这种机制,内部润滑流体前锋超过外部流体前锋。我们的理论的许多方面都与最近的实验室实验相一致。不确定性表明,水力压裂或壁滑可能是重要的前线附近。这一理论可能有助于理解各种系统的动力学,包括浪涌和冰流。

英文摘要:

The motion of glaciers over their bedrock or drops of fluid along a solid surface can become unstable when these substrates are lubricated. Previous studies modeled such systems as coupled gravity currents (GCs) consisting of one fluid that lubricates the flow of another fluid, and having two propagating fronts. When both fluid are Newtonian and discharged at constant flux, global similarity solutions were found. However, when the top fluid is strain-rate softening experiments have shown that each fluid front evolved with a different exponent. Here we explore theoretically and numerically such lubricated GCs in a model that describes the axisymmetric spreading of a power-law fluid on top of a Newtonian fluid, where the discharge of both fluids is power law in time. We find that the model admits similarity solutions only in specific cases, including the purely Newtonian case, for a certain discharge exponent, at asymptotic limits of the fluids viscosity ratio, and at the vicinity of the fluid fronts. Generally, each fluid front has a power-law time evolution with a similar exponent as a non-lubricated GC of the corresponding fluid, and intercepts that depend on both fluid properties. Consequently, we identify two mechanisms by which the inner lubricating fluid front outstrips the outer fluid front. Many aspects of our theory are found consistent with recent laboratory experiments. Discrepancies suggest that hydrofracturing or wall slip may be important near the fronts. This theory may help to understand the dynamics of various systems, including surges and ice streams.
