Synopsis

This book sets out to provide a guide for those who wish to make predictions about the behaviour of non-Newtonian fluids in engineering. The plan of the book is centred around kinematics - that there is a great interplay of the microscopic variables relevant to a non-Newtonian fluid and the stresses developed in a given large-scale kinematic field. The text starts with surveys of some non-Newtonian behaviour and of classical continuum mechanics. This is followed by a description of the two main kinematic fields - shearing and extensional flows. A survey of continuum and molecular-based relations is also given and recommendations are made for the choice of constitutive relation for various problems - kinematics is the main factor in the choice of equation. A chapter is devoted to a discussion of lubrication and calendaring as examples of flows that are close to viscometric or shearing flows. Spinning and film-blowing are used to illustrate nearly extensional flows and because of the analytical difficulties present in non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, a chapter is devoted to numerical methods of solution (finite elements and boundary elements) using as examples the entry flow and extrudate swell problems. The topic of thermal effects in flows is then presented and the final chapter contains material on stability and turbulence, including drag reduction in dilute solutions. This revised edition also contains an updated chapter on extrusion, in particular taking into account the progress in numerical simulation.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book sets out to provide a guide, with examples, for those who wish to make predictions about the mechanical and thermal behaviour of non-Newtonian materials in engineering and processing technology. After an introductory survey of the field and a review of basic continuum mechanics, the radical differences between elongational and shear behaviour are shown. Two chapters, one based on a continuum approach and the other using microstructural approaches, lead to useful mathematical desriptions of materials for engineering applications. As examples of nearly-viscometric and nearly-elongational flows, there is a discussion of lubrication and related shearing flows, and fibre- spinning and film-blowing respectively. A long chapter is devoted to the important new field of computational rheology, and this is followed by chapters on stability and turbulence and the all-important temperature effects in flow. This new edition contains much new material not available in book form elsewhere-for example wall slip, suspension rheology, computational rheology and new results in stability theory.
